Saturday, March 8, 2008 An Entire Ride With James BondA lady that I am and a self-proclaimed James Bond fanatic, I admittedly say that I admire him for being a man with appeal. And not just that, what I admired him the most are the innovative technologies he use in his films. The guns down to the cars, he is really a man whom girls would ever dream of. Include my name because I am not shy at all, especially when I got a glimpse of James Bond’s film vehicles. Here they are… 1. English Sport Cars and Luxury Automobiles for 007 Were you able to watch the first movie entitled, “Dr. No (1962)”?

The Aston Martin DBS Models and the V8 Vantage in “The Living Daylights” (1987) In the film, “Diamonds are Forever” in 1971, James Bond used another Aston Martin DBS Model but hasn’t been noticed unless you become very attentive. In the film, “The Living Daylights (1987),” James Bond used a V8 Vantage, a Volanter version. 10. German Cars on 007 Missions If you will notice, James Bond had used German cars for years.
