Ford and Fleming

CmdrAtticus

Picked up a Ford Fusion Hybrid last year and this topic came up that I had not thought about before -

Fleming owned a Ford Thunderbird. He had Bond drive the Q supplied Aston in the novels. Ford had Aston from '94 to 2006. Ford copied the front of the Aston Martin design and applied it to the Fusions.

What a strange turn of events!

always shaken

its a shame Ford never continued its Capri range , that was a car all us young lads aspired too in the 70/80s now fast forward to
today (obviously the new Capri) would be wider bigger faster more powerful and we could have been looking at a decent car
but I guess we will just have to stick with our German coupes instead

The Capri was a working class yobbos car ! .............................. I loved it. )
If it was good enough for Bodie, it's good enough for me
Sadly most new fast cars look like "jelly moulds "

Nice. It won't come to Australia until next year (as the Mondeo). I can't wait - I plan on getting one when it gets here.

I really enjoy it. It's one of the safest on the road, quiet as a tomb, suprisingly good acceleration for a hybrid, nice smooth ride, sips fuel (I only put in a little more than a quarter of a tank a week and I drive every day). It also always gets positive comments from strangers and friends. A female acquaintance saw it the first time and thought it was "gorgeous" and very masculine looking.
