super gadget of the month #1

for your enjoyment this blog is adding a new feature, the

SUPER GADGET OF THE MONTH!

our first installment in this new series is the heroes vehicle from gerry andersons INVESTIGATOR project.

it is an actual gas-powered and radio-controlled model car used as a prop in this combination of live action and puppetry that never made it past tv pilot stage.

but anyway, sure like hell he had a lot of fun playing around with this every-boys-dream-toy on the sunny island of malta!



















































for the dramatic appearance of the car look forward from ca. 02:30 into the movie:
