I agree with 007q-Branch’s sentiment above – just living the dream
I figure I’d throw my photo in the ring. This photo is of me and my girl with our (I wish!) Aston Martin DBS that was taken last week at the Michigan Proving Ground.
Last year Sony Canada had a contest promoting the release of Quantum of Solace. I was the lucky winner of the grand prize which consisted of a first class trip for two to Detroit to attend the Aston Martin Performance Driving School at the MPG. Essentially, I got to drive an Aston Martin DBS for the day on a closed track.
For those that haven’t heard of the course it is designed to teach you what the car can do and how to handle it properly. You have a pro instructor with you at all times taking you through the car’s paces. You learn precision steering and handling at various speeds with and without hills, how to handle slamming on the brakes from 160km/h, skid control on simulated ice. And they have a 8km high speed oval track. My max speed was 259 km/h. That was really a blast. The DBS is really a great car to drive.
Thankyou for the great coments on the suit, Its the real deal !!!!!!
Lets not overlook the stunning Rachel Grant ( Peaceful Fountains Of Desire )
she gave up about 1 hour of her time to chat to us and pose for a few photos, i think she liked the uniform as well HA!
Still have no image of myself so I am submitting one of my daughter.
This image was featured in the Aston Martin Owners Club magazine - Spring 2008 issue.

Me in front of the Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas sporting the Quantum of Solace look
Me at the One and Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas sporting an outfit similar to the one Bond wore when he arrived in Casino Royale.
Would like to say that I really like your choices for outfits, and spots you visited. Looks like an amazing visit to the Bahamas. Would like to visit there myself some day. Again good job. Great photos!
Ive tried to recreate the scene from Casino Royale where Bond was driving a Mondeo along the coast in the Bahamas. I managed to borrow a Mondeo, the Persol 2244s Bond Sunglasses are mine, Shirt by Primark ) Bahamas seascape courtesy of Paint Shop Pro!!!
Here is Double-0-7 in dinner jacket outside of a casino by the Aston Martin. This casino is not in Montenegro and it isn't my Aston, but a good night at the tables can correct that issue! -{
Last month on a mission "south of the border" the professor and I (with drink in hand) celebrated the first phase of destabilizing a third world nation's government.

What Carnival ship is that? I used to work out there. -{

That is the good ship Freedom. You have quite an eye to not only identify it as a ship, but one from the Carnival line!
Nice competition guys, in August we had a lot of outstanding pictures. It's going to be tough to the judges decide who's gonna win the prizes. BTW, when and where we're going to see the winners?
The judges will review the entries starting September 1st and will have two days to decide on their top three. Then we will cull it down to the winners which will be posted on this thread as well as the home page.
Not much time left and the competition is REALLY heating up!
Okay, I have no illusions of winning, nor do I have that much Bond gear, clothes, or merchandise, but I want to contribute, if only to show my attempts at being like Bond.
Here are some pictures from my senior prom from April, the last time I was in a tux or any formal wear for that matter. I've got a suit with me at college, but as of now, no occasion to wear it.
