Oh no super car is grounded....one should always be careful when reviewing employees. the old brit thief may have had some initiative but WOW he set his brain to off, called our heroes and told them who he was, where he was going and what he was going to do.

Once again I am taken by the amount of detail the people put into those sets, the office where the circuit boards were amazingly detailed.

Our boy Jimmy doesn't get to do much in this show except entertain Mitch and tell the professor how smart he is.

Oh poor super car has an L-3 glitch, comes crashing down and breaks a wing but not to worry, Mike M takes off doing 150 down the queens highway. You know for something named super car, it is surprisingly poorly equipped to drive on a regular road hmmm funny.

Oh well we never get to see the foreign people waiting for the circuit cca's but one can only imagine it must have been masterspy and friendzami.
solid episode but a drop off i'll give it 6 absent Mitch's on the SC scale.

This one was a little slow this week’s villains weren’t very smart. Why would you call and let the team know you took the top secret circuit card. I will never understand that. Poor supercar it takes them half the episode to get it to take off. Reminds me of watching a mercury launch. Did you notice Mike was driving from the right side in this episode? When in England do as the English do. Seeing the puppets up next to the vacuum tubes gave me my first indication on the size of the puppet. The supercar model appears to be quiet large I wonder if the model still exist or if it was destroyed. It should be in the Smithsonian as one of the greatest vehicle ever made. Man I miss Masterspy he is the ultimate sixties villain. Did they all fly over the pond in supercar or did they ship it over there? Guess we will never know. Not much room in there for them all to fit.

I'm on it. if I can find it, do you want to bid on it with me, maybe we can buy it for a song.

I figured the foreigners waiting for the stolen parts were MS and Friendzami.

I did not notice on Mike driving on the other side...good catch.

Some Super Car info

There were two working models of Supercar. The larger hero model was made of light-weight wood and Plexiglass (Perspex) and measured about five feet in length. The smaller model, used in distance shots, was about nine inches in length. The vehicle was designed by art director Reg Hill. Fans such as Austin Tate have speculated Hill was inspired by the 1954 Ford FX-Atmos concept car.[
