Anyone ever been? Is it any good? Really I just want to go to see their S1 Esprit - the fact that its a bond job is a rather large bonus of course :thumbsup I don't ever remember seeing an Esprit before even tho I've always loved it :cry:

I used to be in the Fleet Air Arm and was based at Faslane back in the late seventies and they were looking for somebody to drive the Esprit around the mountain roads in the area while they Tut flew the helicopter that chased me 8)

Misjudged a corner so they had to rewrite the script :oops:

Suppose I better come clean. In the opening scenes a Seaking lands at Faslane but due regulations they couldn't use their actor to guide the Seaking down to land as he wasn't qualified. I was the Base Photographer and was there to record the stuff for PR work but ended up marshalling the helicopter down as I was the only person on the base that was qualified. They didn't realise that the last time I worked with a Seaking was when we lost one over the sidelift on HMS Hermes (it slipped sir :roll: )

Oh man I sooo appreciate the effort put into that reply, was brilliant!!! :D:D cool story tho! That's one the (32 yearold) kids will love! ;)

The first 'still' you showed, if that's not the best Bond car shot of all time then fook knows what is!!! The road sign completing the scene for that little bit of extra Bond humour !
