LoL,
I totally forgot about that! Anyway, Barbara Broccoli and her Eon Productions company have held an 'iron fist' on the cinematic rights to use Astons in Bond franchise movies for quite a few decades now........ I acknowledge and appreciate the fact that this inevitably exposes the brand to large new audiences each time a Bond film premieres, but the character has become such an outdated farce in terms of what he represents, that I can't help but lament the fact that they are still vigorously attaching the Aston Martin name to this crass joke of a character.... It's that perennial adage - no publicity is bad publicity

Look at Ferrari buyers...
Almost all of those Ferrari buyers are buying it simply because they think it's the cool thing to do! Unfortunately, the car world will always be a place for poseurs. Even a drug dealer will have similar tastes for a fancy car as the most sophisticated an...
Drug dealers will be wearing blinged out Nautiluses next...
Soon, watches will no longer be a major secret.
That's when,
it will come down to wearing only ACHI watches in order to not be easily identified by any random person on the street . Sarpaneva here I come ........
DB5 Goldfinger Continuation …
I had the pleasure of visiting AM to see the cars under construction. Each car takes approximately 4500 hours to construct, using body panels from original pressings. The 4.0-litre 290bhp in-line six-cylinder engine has a few small tweaks to deal with mod...
What a silly decision....
to have a few trinkets related to a film which then prevent the car from legal roadworthiness.... I'm confident the different laws in different countries mean you can actually drive the car in some countries versus others........ Astonishing craftsmanship...
IF I could take out the emence cool factor,-
I might have been able to see, that the car is actually not a very harmonious design. Yours Jacob / Copenhagen
