Greetings

Therefore our usually calm, collected National Press spend 6 weeks making the National Inquirer look respectable. This is known as the Silly Season and such stories as -

• Some Italians forgetting to lower the undercarriage on a large Transport plane when landing in front of 250,000 spectators at an Airshow
• Tiger Woods proving he is human whilst facing a wet and windy Scottish Golf Course and a noisy Press Pack at the same time

rapidly become Front Page News.

The rest of the year is known as the Governments silly season, the difference being the press know where to find the Homer Simpsons speaking.

Anyway, as ebay is quiet, let's join the fun with some unlikely stories -

but publishes the list of cars from 2001, I am assured by another source that the 56 and 58 T-Birds WILL be in the actual release set

Yes Folks, yet another error on the Johnny Lightning Site,http://www.playingmantis.com/jl/products_release_variations.php?productid=42 Mug Root Beer - Ford Thunderbird Stock Car - Red
So Off I went and Bid onhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1753715734&rd=1

20 sets made, they are the same T-Birds by Durham Classics but these T-Birds have more detail cast into the body as you may notice on the standard ones they have removed the front and rear emblems and used decals instead which looks so much nicer also they now use decals for the side flashes. All in all the models have more detail and look sharper. I have 2 sets for sale, 4 T-Birds in each set, same colors as before.

Let me know if you are interested $135.00 US per T-Bird or if you want a set we could work out a deal.
