I went to the always wonderful Goodwood Festival of Speed today- so much incredible and rare stuff to see (my favourite was probably the incredible slow fly past from the Airbus A380- amazing), but the stuff I thought you chaps might like was the surprise corner of the Style Et Luxe area which was filled with James Bond 007's motors! And then, just to add a bit of glamour, a load of very sexy Bond girls appeared and posed with the cars! Lovely.

(Saying that, some of them are in a right old state: the Spy Who Loved Me Lotus has trim falling off and wheels in desperate need of a re-furb, and the Living Daylights Aston is covered in dents and scratches and has very dull paintwork in need of TLC, nevermind TLD).

Oh and, not strictly a Bond car, but also putting in an appearance:

Wow, great pics. Thanks MarkT. Love how they themed the girls to the car/movie.

I was thinking the same Zencat, the models are wearing movie-appropriate outfits and looking great!

Sorry to hear the cars are in such sad shape.

Great pics, Mark. Thanks for sharing, mate.

Luckily I didn't go. Would have got my face slapped by Carol. She's jealous of other models. :tup:

The themed outfits the girls are wearing caught my attention as well. :tup: Great photos, Mark. :tup:

Great photos. You'd never know by them that some of the cars need to be fixed up.

Lucky you! Apparently, the girls look in a better shape than the cars! :tup:
