Thunderbird Club

Speaking of shallow, everything about the Noir appealed to me except for the brown print on it. Couldn't get past that. I love my Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. They also make a small version. Red LEDs, but it's fine since I only have it on when I need it.

No brown print on mine.

Is that why you always look angry in photos? ;-)

What photos?
 
As an AMC fan, I kinda like those little monsters. Actually, I'm currently building a racecar out of one. It'll look something along these lines when done -

Right now it's just a bare body, and a chassis, both waiting to meet.

Nah, rules say 360ci limit. We'll just run a small block Chevy in it, because cheap. Has to be steel production block, steel heads, flat top pistons. Nothing crazy, keeps the cost down. Besides, it's an 8" wide treaded tire, so not a lot of grip anyways. We already have the parts for the engine laying around the shop from past builds.
 
Checking the Scottish Register of Tartans (yeah, I had no idea either, and it is a government website) there is no official Thunderbird Tartan. However, there is a method of some kind to register new tartans.

@fasterpussycat being the closest we have to an angry Scot, I suggest she design and register a Thunderbird tartan so that we can all have matching butt bows.

when my employer merged with a Scottish company, we got our own plaid!

While I am too laid back to be an angry Scot, I am nevertheless much Scot and think having a Thunderbird plaid is an excellent idea.
