THUNDERBIRDS, Mario, TJ Hooker, Poster Art, Hornet & BUSTERS

What’s up you DUMBASS DEMONS and welcome to today’s scootin’ AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s get this PAAATEEYY started with Fireball’s hand-drawn THUNDERBIRDS Art!! Were you a fan of the show?? We was… and we still is… 😉

BUT DID YOU KNOW?? Thunderbird 2 was designed by Derek Meddings and was originally intended to be blue but was changed to green. It is the most frequently seen Thunderbird, known for its interchangeable pods that carry various rescue equipment. Created for the TV show Thunderbirds, it is powered by a combination of a propeller and jets and can reach anywhere in the world without refueling, with a cruising speed of 2,000 mph. Whoa. The design was inspired by the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar, particularly its removable cargo pod feature. And it’s just frikkin’ cool!

And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Ball and THE POPE were best buds and pondered and Official Vatican Cars & Coffee (He was a JDM Fan and had an 800horse Skyline in Purple… that was BAGGED!). Alter-Ego MARIO (Did you know that Fireball played Mario in ALL the 90’s-2000’s Commercials? TRUTH!) and TJ HOOKER Mugs and Canvas are back in the Garage! PLUS, a great snap from THE PETE vault with Robert Ross, filming CARS THAT MATTER! Original BLACK BEAUTY BABY!

NEW SECTION BUSTED ON THE BLOG! There were incredible Artists since the 60’s doing SCI-FI and ACTION MOVIE Posters, and it’s time to give them some LOVE. So today, it’s CLOSE ENCOUNTERS by Paul Mann. A rare poster, but beautifully done.

MORE ART! Fireball does the Renault from TITANIC for THE VOLO MUSEUM in Chicago! Should he bust it out onto a MUG, too?

MORE FIREBALL ADVENTURES are coming… and Team Kim is keeping an eye out! What are YOU up to, people?? NYC is UP NEXT coming this Friday, but Fireball’s looking forward to the Holiday Season… with some tiny GHOSTBUSTERS!
