I thought they looked the biz!

There is a Fiero in the garden of a large house down the road from me here in Kent UK - but it has not moved for some time. And there is another house with some large American 60s/70s tanks parked in the garden.

Am I not right that the first Thunderbirds had tiny drum brakes that would stop them about one and a half times from 90? I seem to remember a review pointing out that the radio with a special channel for a national emergency was one thing but that the driver was in view of the brakes more likely to be concerned with a local emergency.
