PHAT!!!

[HeelBird]

A friend of mine pointed out that the new term is an acronym for "pretty hot and tempting". I guess the surprise that awaited me today was just that, phat. I took yesterday as a vacation day from the bank, and when I arrived at the office this morning I discovered a package on my desk. Inside the smiley face covered wrapping paper was a shirt box that contained one of the microfiber shirts that is covered with the '02 Bird in red and yellow, in addition to a yellow '55. Looks very Hawaiian. All I need now is some sandals, shorts, and a straw hat & I'll be ready for a drink that has a little umbrella in it. Gift was courtesy of my dealer, Evans Ford. I'd seen it in one of the catalogs, but wasn't ready to spring for the $78 purchase price.

Totally KEWL!!!

Today is my border collie's 2nd birthday, and I got the present...go figure!

Thanks to Earl Harper and the gang at the dealership---now it's time to see them for the 10,000 mile checkup and oil change---tripped that today.

I think I described the Tbird as "Phat" in this thread http://www.fordthunderbirdforum.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001163.html

Indeed!!! I hadn't heard the acronym description until recently...it surely fits both the metal and the shirt!

Shirt also has a tag---it is Hawaiian----made of "hand spun rayon".

Heelbird,
Since Maui is our home away from home, I'd love to have a shirt like the one you received. Any chance you could find out where they got it?
Thanks in advance.-Slyfoxxmi

slyfoxxmi,

The tropical 2002 Thunderbird shirt that you are referring to is found on the Ford Motor Company Thunderbird Merchandise website at: http://www.fordcollection.com/s11686.html

Thanks Tim

Tim,

That's the one--thanks for providing the link.

That's a different shirt than they had last fall. It's by Reyn Spooner and is also available on R.S.'s site at a slightly less cost. Think it looks better than the first one.

I think that we should make this our standard uniform shirt for "Thunderbird Destination"!!!

Call me cheap (YOU'D BETTER NOT), but $79 for a shirt? THat's just a little out of my price range. I usually pay $1.380.

I looked at the other clothing items on the link----and chuckled. Several hundred dollars might not be bad for a leather jacket, but I don't see any Thunderbird logos anywhere on it. We've got ourselves one expensive little hobby here, folks!

If you watch ebay diligently you may be able to find one of those shirts for half the price - I did on the first one last winter.
