Highlights of the new James Bond car exhibition, held at Beaulieu National Motor Museum. 'Bond in Motion' marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series.
Prejudice is always lovely. Just to counter it though, I'll tell you of how my dad once drove round a completely empty supermarket car park at low speed one Sunday and crashed full face on into a trolley park, writing off the car and demolishing the trolley park. Could a woman do that? I don't think so. And this is a true story instead of some made up hypothetical nonsense.
I was a passenger with my mum driving along at hoylake by the sea, a pretty wide long strajght road. As we drove we were slowly drifting over to the right side of the road with a car coming straight towards us. I looked at my mum and she was happily looking out at the yachts in the sea not taking a bit of notice of were she was going, I yelled "MUUUUM!!" and she turned and swung the wheel over narrowly missing a head on with a very startled looking woman coming in the opposite direction. I dread to think what would have happened had i not been there to yell. Another true story
Visited the' Bond In Motion' car show held at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu. Really enjoyable to see some of the vehicles used in Connery's Bond to Daniel Craig's Bond.. Worth a visit.
My hovercraft was built in Pinewood studios and used in the film Die another Day back in 2002,its good to see the old bond cars being shown off to the public
This Bond car collection used to be on show in Keswick in Cumbria but it was forced to close recently due to the recession I guess. Shame really, a sign of the times, but nice to see them on show again. The owner of this truly amazing collection is a very nice chap who just wants to share them with the public.
I had the pleasure of owning an aston the sales staff in edinburgh said it was exactly to james bond spec I owned it for nine months I used to shake with excitement driving it . without doubt the finest noise i have ever heard when you open it up especially in a tunnel or built up area , everyone stood mouth wide open . goose bumps just thinking about it !!!!!!
