I don't think you've caught the right spirit of this thread somehow...

Tomorrow Never Dies for example when the BMW logo comes up to cut a wire. What were the odds that the logo saw thingy would be high/low enough to hit that wire exactly?


That bugs the hell out of me everytime I watch GE. Easily one of the most annoying gadget moments ever.

Anyway, I suppose I'll go with the silver. Something darker and closer to a gunmetal hue would suit me fine. I'd love to see Bond in a sexy black car, though. I think every car looks better in black.

...If it had to be a direct update of the novel Bond should drive a twenty year old, heavy, performance British luxury car which isn't worth very much now.

No, I was thinking less Arthur Daley, more performance car. XJR-S or Lister Jag or something.

Good point Mr. Asterix.

BRG would be nice though.

Of course, some would argue that cars can't be green. :)

AM has a nice color called Meteorite Silver. It's a bit darker than Tungsten Silver.

He should drive a Black Tulip MGBGT 1970s era. He could then complain about the heating and the overdrive not working properly and give realistic 'character' to a so-called run of the mill British classic.

No missiles, no machineguns; not even a sniper rifle in the glove box: because the glovebox is stuck.

Can you just imagine Bond driving around cursing Lucas electronics for their shoddy racing coils. Well in the books I might be able to...
