  That's a great photo, not seen that one before.
  
  I always think that jump looks somewhat fake in the finished film. I guess it's the shot cut in of the wheels grazing the roof of the other car.

  I know it's nothing epic but I love the little handbrake turn Bond does in the chase

  The 180? Yeah it's cool: although I think maybe the best example of that is the police BMW in Octopussy in the Alfa chase- it's so smooth!

  Today, while going to buy some groceries, on the parking of the local VW deaershipe/garage, I saw a silver AC Cobra. Oh, and in my town, there's somebody who owns a Cadillac. Not sure about the model, though, I only saw the back, and wasn't keen to trespass to see the rest. But it was probably a CTS.

  My dad's got a Cobra (replica of course). It's a lot of fun.

  Ah, Ferrari finally caters to Bond fans!
  The new 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano comes in Drax Enterprise livery. I think I'll order one for my Moonraker collection.

  Great photo- I've not seen that before. They actually did that Tuk Tuk jump with stuntmen and I don't know why! In the film it looks like they could have just shot it with a cannon.

  Thete's a great documentary film on Britbox about the many British stunt performers of the 70s and 80s in Hollywood.

  Yes I watched it last week: well worth a go. Quite a bit of Bond in there.

  Agreed @mtm so many great stories and a good fifteen or twenty minutes on Bond alone.
