Now THOSE remind me of the soothing lullabies one of my nannies used to sing to me.....before...well before she was decapitated and her entrails somehow ended up being used to re-string my "dad's" set of tennis rackets.

I still remember one late autumn night I ramp the machine hard till the speedo reads '90' and the machine shook! That experience is unforgettable. I didn't realised I was going 90 miles an hour not 90 kilo/hr.! I guess your father would probably have many exciting experiences with the Thunderbird as well.
