The new FAB 1

Talking FAB 1, Vivid, China, 2015

Well, this time they did not choose a Ford... and went back to British engineering. The two-tone grey and pink is quite nice. The correct car to introduce Thunderbirds to a whole new public ?

The 3 Musketeers - Les 3 Mousquetaires - Dartacão, Disvenda, Portugal, 1983

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (Spanish: D'Artacan y los Tres Mosqueperros; Japanese: ワンワン三銃士 [Wan Wan Sanjuushi; lit.,The Woof Woof Three Musketeers]) is a Spanish–Japanese anime adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas story of d'Artagnan and The Three Musketeers. Most of the characters are anthropomorphizations of dogs, hence the title of the cartoon. (Source Wikipedia) 

In France, the cartoon started airing in 1984 - but here in Portugal they had it one year earlier.

The funny thing is that each country retained the music score by Guido et Maurizio De Angelis, so the tune itself is known all across Europe...
