    Shouldn´t be too difficult to insert a scene with Bond driving such a thing in the next film. I couldn´t decide right now wether he should arrive at the front of some lavish hotel on a plain hydrofoil, or if he should dash out the back with a gadget-laden one, leading into a gadget shootout :-)....

    @Thunderfinger, haven't seen that bit in a long time. Hilarious.

    Here's a great LOTR reunion:

    Makes me wonder how Hans Zimmer´s theme from Inception would sound sped up.

    What I would give to have such a sequence in a modern Bond film, instead of those bad DB5 re-appearances!


    Btw, I hope the owners of the bob sleigh runway charged Subaru properly. It looks like the car wreaked havoc on the runway ;-).

    Imagine the DB10 flying down one of these.

    The run would definitely need to be widened, but it would be spectacular and also a bit reminiscent of FYEO.

    That would be very ridiculous, and not in a good way.
    Bond driving a Subaru through a bobsleigh run would be an instance of giving meaning to a meaningless car. With the DB10 it would be the other way round.

    I always loved that opening, but this is an improvement.(Not the theme song)

    That is something I have always noticed. Glad I am not alone.

    Haha, great :-))!

    I wonder if car designers consciously think of faces when they design cars?

    I was aware that some smaller Alpha Romeos have very obvious eyes and mouth, but I wasn´t aware that so many cars have a face.

    Interesting with those drawings beside the photos. But giving cars a "face" (be it cute, aggressive or anything else, depending on the target group) has been a major task for car designers for a long time. And it's so obvious and natural that the headlights (or even the tail lamps) are the "eyes" that I still can't get used to Pixar's CARS having extra eyes in the windshield.

    It seems to me that faces on cars have become much more prevalent with modern cars than they were in the past. It's hard to find faces in the boxes produced in the 70s and 80s, but 90s onward, pretty much everything has a face.

    Haha, from the cast it looks like a James Cameron film.
