Thanks Steve! I noticed that the article said "Mr Fear was initially hesitant about letting the car out of his sight but decided to show it at Motorclassica..." so I'm guessing his Ferrari isn't one of them!Steve wrote:I was wondering if Ric's car might be the one of the cars used in the reboot.....I saw they both had the "81" sticker but now I realize that it is standard on most of the Robin 1 vanity plates out there.......Rembrandt's Girl wrote:Great video, Steve!

I'm a bit confused about what you're asking - "and is it the one we first saw in the previous pictures"
Thanks for the article, you are amazing!

Re: Ferrari
Does Lenkov own a Ferrari? He posted this in his Instagram stories today...

I was just going to say that his head certainly won't be sticking up above the windshield like TM's!

Ahh, to dream. Seriously though Sam. You’d be a pretty awesome show history advisor.Sam wrote:I think it looks just fine... did I tell you I got a PM from PL,Rembrandt's Girl wrote:Steve wrote:At five foot seven I'm not buying his knees have to be that high in the air..........

Re: Ferrari
Thanks Styles.... but I can think of a whole lot of people that would be better suited than myself as an advisor..
Cross you fingers....breaking news... I was requested to send in an audition tape. If things go well I will be playing a new character in the series... character's name is Sledgehammer... Icepicks grandfather..

Re: Ferrari
It appears this new Thomas destroys Ferraris faster than the origina TMl! They are sure looking for the ratings with all of this action!
Watching the trailer we see the ROBIN 2 - 488 get shredded with gunfire and then ROBIN 1 - 308 being destroyed over a cliff in a far fetched, WAY over the top scene (keep it real Lenkov). Then there is a quick glimpse of a black ROBIN 3 Ferrari near the end of the trailer with no damage (so far). Two Ferraris in one episode a new record.
You never know in what order all of these clips take place, but assuming it plays out like the trailer and it looks that way, then I'm thinking ROBIN 1 is only making this one appearance as a salute to the original MPI. I know the 308 was destroyed in at least two episodes in the original series and brought back to life, but I'm thinking it will not be happening in the reboot. It made an appearance, got destroyed and that is the end of the 308. It will be interesting to see what they do in future episodes with the 488 lic. plate though......will it stay as ROBIN 2 or be changed to ROBIN 1 (assuming the 308 is not coming back) or do they leave the ROBIN 2 plate on the 488 and "retire" the ROBIN 1 plate to the rafters as tip of the hat to the original. I hope it's the latter. Note in the original series, they did change the 308 lic. plate after the first episode so who knows. If Lenkov is a TRUE fan he will not swap the ROBIN 1 and 2 plates on the 488!

Re: Ferrari
Referring back to the trailer it appears that ROBIN-3 is a Ferrari California.

The one you're showing is a California T, note the side-by-side exhaust. The two second glimpse of the one in the trailer had stacked exhaust which makes it just a California.

OK, well then we can just turn our heads sideways when we're looking at the exhaust pipes.KENJI wrote:Thanks for the visuals RG!

Re: Ferrari
Sounds like a plan!
Re: Ferrari
I'm still hoping the destruction of the 308 at the end of the trailer was just part of a "fantasy" or visualization of a passage from a book like the space-jump and it still lives as Magnum's main ride.
It's just a personal preference as my aesthetic favors the linear and I'm not so found of cars with swoopy body styling like the newer Corvettes and Euro supercars. I find the straighter lined wedge-like 308 to be just astoundingly more attractive.
