Go on… You Know You Want To

Remember Sean Connery in Goldfinger?  Thunderball?  And that marvellous creation, the Aston Martin DB5 .  It can be yours.  No, really

Aston martin DB5This is no ordinary Aston Martin.  This is the one augmented a little by Q.  Remember?  There are the machine guns mounted at the front… ideal for clearing the road ahead.  And the revolving number plates to confuse the hell out of those cop cars with automatic number-plate recognition… how can you survive without those? 

Also included is a cute little button for spraying oil on the road, another for creating a smoke-screen, and second best of all –  wheel-mounted tyre slashers for seeing off Jeremy Clarkson  at that burn-up at the lights.

You want more?  The windscreen is made from bullet-proof glass and the very best of all — an ejector-seat button, in case Jeremy Clarkson  is actually your passenger.

The whole thing comes in silver and is currently up for auction. It can be yours for as little as — five million or more.  That’s pounds, not dollars.  Almost as much as you spend on red wine every month.

Go on — you know  you want to…

Zelda Says…

Having endured the last eight years — or possibly two weeks, or whatever it was — of snow and ice and then slush, and all the joys of motoring which went with it, it’s a shame that we never followed up the line of research shown here. Those queues of abandoned cars would never have existed, with vehicles like this on the road.

Didn’t they all speak awfully, awfully  well back then? Did Jeremy Clarkson ever do a feature on this?
