My first Bond experience was DAF, so wheeling the Mustang through downtown Las Vegas ranks highly with me.
As does bombing through - out of and over - the bayous of Louisiana in LALD.
I even like the chase in and out of Bangkok in TMWTGG (have you noticed that when Bond does the chasing, he never catches his quarry?).
Lotus vs motorcycle, car, helicopter, scuba divers and Shark Hunter - yes please! Oh, and the ski chase.
Plus the night ski chase in OHMSS.
I'll even go out on a limb here and include the ice chase in DAD; loaded Aston Martin v loaded Jaguar - love it!
I suppose that's enough for now...

My top 3 Bond chases are:
1) The tanker truck chase in 'Licence To Kill'
2) The Aston Martin vs Alfa Romeo chase in 'Quantum Of Solace'
3) The Tuk Tuk chase in 'Octopussy'
Yes, you read the 3rd right. "Rupeeeeeeeeeeees!"

No particular order :
Bond 'chasing' the bomb in Octopussy (almost 20 mn non stop)
Parkhour chase in CR
Bond after Tilly in Goldfinger

The bobsleigh chase in OHMSS was the one that actually hooked me on Bond in the first place. I saw it before I had seen a single Bond film all the way through. It was featured on a BBC TV children's quiz show about films - I think the show was called "Screen Test" - and as soon as this (then) seven year old saw it he thought "Well this is different from "Children's Hour" or Walt Disney's cartoons!" Or something like that!
So for me it has to be Bond v Blofeld racing down that run throwing grenades at each other as they did. For that one scene started my 40 plus year "addiction" to Bond.

The best chase is for me the Backseat driver in Tomorrow never dies. It's very original, good directed and the music is terrific.
However I have a regret : Bond laughes sometimes in his car whereas he saw Paris murdered a few minutes earlier. Brosnan should have be a little more serious.

Well, Bond can compartmentalize very fast and well - as previous films have shown.

It's very strange... Bond seems to be very sad when he saw Paris lying on the bed, he was crying : Brosnan was very good in that sequence but just after, he was laughing, playing with his phone game like a boy. He definitly forgot the death of Paris.

The ski chase in OHMSS is top notch. Much of that also has to do with the accompanying music.
