    I've always coveted Tim's jumper and leather coat combo from the Bratislava scenes in TLD.

    I love this from CR:

    A Sunspel polo Bond wears in the scene where he gets a tracer put in his wrist.

    In QoS, I love:

    Another Suspel polo with white jeans. What can I say, I love my polos!

    If I had to pick a casual suit, there is none better than Sean's from the second half of GF:

    My favorite suit in the franchise.

    I agree with your taste, 0Brady, but please remember the rules concerning posting MGM copyright pics. ;-) Thanks.

    My apologies @Dimi, I'll get it in my head eventually.

    Here is me with the Sunspel polo and similar looking pants that he wore in CR and QoS complete with the Planet Ocean he wore in CR. I feel its the perfect Bond casual combo. I gotta say, the Sunspel polo is the most comfortable polo I've ever worn. I don't mind getting another one of a different color actually :-)

    Good choice. There's also his beige suit he wears in when he arrives in Tangiers. I think i'd go with the beige suit.

    I'd go with the off-white suit Shown in OHMSS, for some reason I like that a lot:

    other contenders are indeed the grey suit from the CR Bahama arrival and the outfit when he goes to see Mathis, I thought that was quite stylish.

    Great thread. Just discovered it! :)

    1. Hotels: Ocean Club (CR) - Sun, sea, sand and Solange as well as a Casino on your doorstep.
    2. Gadget: X-ray glasses (TWINE) for obvious reasons or Q's money making ring (DAF)
    3. Drinks: Mojito (DAD - I've been to Cuba twice and nothing beats a well made Mojito out there).
    4. Stunts: High speed boat chase up the River Thames (TWINE).
    5. Destructive Rides: Tank chase (GE) around St. Petersburg streets - boys with toys.
    6. Guns: Walther PPK
    7. Bedding villlainous women: Fiona Volpe (TB) - so wild, she should be locked up in a cage.
    8.) Train rides: The Orient Express (FRWL) - A long ride with Tatiana, a plate full of Dover Sole and a glass of fine wine, old man.
    9.) Casual outfit: Winter - Bond's Armani leather jacket at Miami Airport (CR). Summer: Bond's dark navy Sunspel polo in the Bahamas (CR).

    If you count Emilio Largo’s yacht as a lair, I’d pick the Disco Volante. As far as traditional lairs go, it’s a toss-up between Piz Gloria and Scaramanga’s island.

    Atlantis. But I'd modernise it a bit, I don't like all the old fashioned paintings and candles.

    It would have to be Piz Gloria for me!

    10.) Villain's lair: Scaramanga's Island. The perfect place to relax. I prefer heat to the cold of Piz Gloria. I'd replace Nick Nack with a hot female chef though, naturally.

    Close runner-up would be Sanchez's house (LTK - if it counts as a 'lair'). A modern spacious design with a stunning swimming pool and beautiful views.

    Piz Gloria, joined by the Angels of Death...
    or Scaramanga's Island, joined by Andrea Anders and Mary Goodnight :)

    I want to have a battle in Blofeld's volcanoe HQ from YOLT. That set was amazing.

    I first thought of the volcano HQ in YOLT - but to live and enjoy, I go with Piz Gloria for me.

    I'd rather fight alongside Bond, so it'll always be the YOLT volcanoe HQ

    Dr Noah's place. I mean, once again I need to choose the ice palace. Looks like a really fabulous pace! ;-)

    Alec Trevelyan's Janus jungle base in Cuba. What a brilliant set that is, truly one of the most under-rated villain lairs in the series.

    This is an easy one for me: Captain Carter's sub in TSWLM. Those captain's quarters seem quite nice. And a nude female major in the shower is a bonus... ;-)

    The Iceberg Submarine (technically a semi-submersible boat) from AVTAK. Double bed, TVs, luxury, a lovely female companion to share the journey with. There's an adventure I'd like to relive.

    I'll have to go for this one too. Even though the TSWLM submarine would be great also (if the added bonus that Dimi talked about is in it.) :P
