  • It is really difficult to tell, what the name would sound to you, when hearing it without knowing about the fictional 007 character. And it's even more difficult to tell what it would have sounded like 60 years ago. But the point is not the name:…
  • Somewhat related to this lair topic: here you vote for your most favourite Bond locations from all the films. http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/vote_movie_locations.php3
  • You really should, it's worth it! Best in winter of course. Is it very far for you?

  • There is shooting going on in Shanghai - but only second unit, doing some outside shots. First unit with the actors will only be filming in the UK and Turkey.
  • New footage of SF shooting shows Bond in a Range Rover Vogue SE again - but still only in the backseat as it seems. Check out the photos of the stunt driver on the roof! I never knew they did it like this!!! http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/galler…
  • It was the Brosnan era when I was a teen. When there was a new movie I'd go to the cinema and see it. But I was not a fan at that time, Bonds for me were only fun movies to watch, just like any other action movie. And I wasn't interested at all in t…

  • We're just talking about Piz Gloria on this thread: http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/68669#Comment_68669

  • It's not in London, but you could go to see the "Bond in Motion" exhebition at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu. If you could combine that trip with a rented Aston, it would be perfect! Btw: it's MI6! ;-)

  • JBFan626 wrote: But I like the song itself, especially the way it opens, there's something intriguing about it, almost mysterious. I absolutely agree to that! You can't put your finger on it, but this song has something special. I was intrigu…
  • FromCanadaWithLove wrote: I'm ready for a Continental GT V8. No, for me that's a car Mr. White would be driving, not Bond.
  • I think we can easily agree on DAD and AWTD being the worst ever. So let's have a look at the old ones. Arguably they can all be considered classics, but which of them are rather poor? I think "All time high" sounds probably the least Bond of al…
  • This is a beautiful car for sure - but then again it is not too different from an AM. And then I would rahter see "the original" than this Jag that looks a little bit like an AM look-alike but lacks just the bit of style and class that makes an DBS…

  • FromCanadaWithLove wrote: I agree, only I hope gadgets stay out of the cars. I'm a bit of a loser, so sometimes when I'm driving, I like to feel like James Bond. I can do the fast corners, accelerating, downshifting, and drifting in the snow, but …
  • jaguar007 wrote: Yes, the 3 picture deal with Ford ended with QoS. Ford still ownes 10% of AM but I doubt we will see Bond behind the wheel of a new AM in SkyFall. We have already seen pictures featuring both Land Rovers and Jaguars in SF, so is i…
  • I would like to bring up another aspect of single player vs. multiplayer: atmosphere and realism. I have played e.g. QoS and Goldeneye for Wii single player and online multiplayer as well. And I got to realise that the behaviour of your enemies is m…
  • A key factor for which cars will be featured are of course existing or newly closed contracts between the production firm and car manufacturers. When CR was being produced MGM or Sony Pictures had contract relations to FORD. At the time Aston Mar…

  • It's just a little bit odd: - "Banks Lyon" is the only dealer on the internet offering this watch. - Googeling the Model Nr. does not render any results, except for Banks Lyon, again. - There is no official announcement by Omega - neither on thei…
