I'm not a motorhead but when the 50th Anniversary of the first Bond film happened, I thought to myself that someone should write a h2g2 article on Bond cars. And then later that day, at a garden centre, there was a book all about Bond cars. And later that week there was a Top Gear programme on TV all about Bond Cars, so it seemed like it had to be me who wrote it.

Good work BB
Sorry just one small nit pick
caltrops are not nails
Caltrop - A device with four metal spikes made so when three points are on the ground the fourth spike, points upward.
hope this assists
happy new year

Hello BobStafford - good to see you around!
I've updated that little point (get it - little point!) about caltrops.

Very thorough <BB<
Is there room to mention that Prince Charles is a fan of the Aston Martin (he owns one). I remember his rage when Princess Diana sat on the bonnet (it was parked at the time) yet he lent it to his son for his first drive as a married man

I've had a quick look online, and it seems that Prince Charles' car is an Aston Martin DB6 rather than a DB5, unless you know it is definitely a DB5? He does seem to own a few more recent models, though.
