I rather like the sound of this and can't believe I haven't heard about it beforehand:

It's a rally themed loosely on the films of the world's favourite secret agent.

Taking place over 23rd- 25th July 2010, it will pass through France, Switzerland and Italy onto the fabulous city of Venice, the final location from the film "Casino Royale".

On the way it visits several of the most famous film settings including Blofeld's mountain lair (now a revolving restaurant) from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the Dam where Bond performs the world's highest bungee jump in "Goldeneye", and the mountain passes where Goldfinger is chased in the DB5.

The only drawback is: competitors have to complete it in a car costing no more than £200!

So what Bond car can you get for £200...?

Yes.

Superb - I expect a full write-up sir.

Looks like a lot of fun.

£200 Bond car - a 2CV should cover it.

Curse you Britons. Always having all the fun. *shakes fist angrily*

The last time I checked my currency converter, 200 UK pounds equals nearly 325 US dollars. That is guaranteed to buy nothing more than a rolling wreck, requiring a total rehabilitation to make it roadworthy. Actually that sounds like fun, because I can think of a Bond car costing that much: Sir Roger's rented 1984-85 Ford LTD sedan from AVTAK, where he follows Stacey home. That car was nothing more than rental company fodder anyway -- perfect!
