Now this is an idea whose time has come, a James Bond Car Show. On exhibit over the pond:
The largest collection of James Bond vehicles in the world opens to the public on Tuesday in Britain featuring classics such as the Aston Martin DBS from “Quantum of Solace.”
From earlier Bond films, the Phantom III Rolls-Royce from “Goldfinger” and the Lotus Esprit S1, which takes a trip into the sea with Roger Moore at the wheel in “The Spy Who Loved Me”, are also among the 50 vehicles on show.
The “Bond in Motion” show at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, southeast England, marks half a century of 007 films.
Also featured are the vintage 1962 Rolls-Royce from “A View To A Kill” which was pushed into a lake by Bond’s foes Zorrin and May Day, played by singer Grace Jones, with Bond still inside.
I wonder if this will ever come to the States?
PS You do, of course, realize that James Bond was once a lieutenant:
The chronology of Bond’s involvement with the Secret Service then becomes confused. According to the “You Only Live Twice” obituary, he entered the Ministry of Defence in 1941 and was accorded the rank of lieutenant in the Special Branch of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). He was soon promoted to Commander and then joined the Secret Service at the end of the war.
It need not be stated that achieving LT was probably the high point of his life. Such facts are obvious to you, no?


I would think that it was while a Lt wearing the uniform that the women started flocking to him.
Lou, you clearly have your deductive skills working at a high level this morning. Good point. . .
Yes, and we all know James Bond never lacked for a date, many dates in fact….all of this must have occurred while he was an LT…deductive reasoning….k
