There were high expectations on this new model, in this case SiR Stormer. The build up to the launch was preceded by genuine positive expectations, however it turns out that this version is a bit of a let down, offering little joy and disappointing performance. The cost seems high for what it eventually delivered, and other competitors have already taken advantage of this.
The longevity of it is already in question and it appears to depreciate at an alarming rate. On an unchallenging run, it handles well but struggles under difficult conditions. Other countries have been complimentary on its capabilities, yet it has not faired so well here in Britain.
It is a small, compact unit much suited to urban environments; out in the countryside it has less appeal. You won’t see too many farmers choosing this to meet their needs.
Not the worst option out there, and maybe only appeals to true fans. Long term, will it be reliable enough to last or will they replace it with something flashier with a bit of zing? Only time will tell.
Pros
It turns on a sixpence
Surprisingly good for families with many children
Cons
Promises of low tax now seem exaggerated
Starts poorly and never really gets going
Functional but lacks any charm ✭✭✩✩✩
More files have been dropped regarding Tracy Island. For many years the Tracy family had used the cover of International Rescue to engage in trafficking of underage people to Tracy Island.
The British socialite Lady Penelope, now serving a prison sentence in a US federal jail, ‘recruited’ individuals, promising an exciting time meeting glamorous people on the island. These included the Tracy men, who engaged in exciting rescue operations across the globe.
People were trafficked on Thunderbird 2, which could carry a large ‘party’ of people at a time. Virgil Tracy denies any wrongdoing.
The logistics were handled by ‘Brains’, who hid his rapacious sexual appetites under the demeanour of a bashful, stuttering egghead.
The head of the Family, Jeff Tracy, is said to have killed himself whilst under investigation, but the circumstances of his death are still unclear.
We await further revelations, hopefully revealing the names of the rich and powerful of the world of politics and showbiz, without redactions.
