    So far, all that I can see is a crappy car, and an old dude in a misty landscape, so I guess that it has something to do with Dalton :D

    Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

    Nice to see your Dalton obsession goes on strong as ever. :)

    Er... moving on from that questionable opinion, I took the opportunity (since I was in the area) to travel the road through Glen Etive

    which as devoted Bond fans know (so that lets Higgins out) is the road to James Bond's ancestral home of Skyfall. And by no coincidence at all is not far from where Fleming's family had a lodge. For a single track road to nowhere in particular it was remarkably busy and later I found that it's a very popular spot for white water canoeists whose cars took up many of the potential spots where the scene in which M and 007 have a brief chat ("You know the answer to that. You know the whole story."). I don't think I found the exact spot but it's pretty close.

    Well, that is obviously "M" and Bond has nipped off for a quick one on rout :D

    Great photos!
    I like that your car has the same colour and production year as Bond's car :v
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,870Chief of Staff
    Thanks, N24. It's the car 007 drives in CR before winning the Aston Martin from Dimitrios. Can't afford an Aston Martin!
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,340MI6 Agent
    I'm afraid most people will have to join the secret services to get an Aston Martin :D

    Fantastic photos Barbel—definitely on the bucket list!

    Is there a word or expression for a person who is known for being good at breaking out of prison and does so frequently?
    And what's the word for the money parishoners give in church during the service? I promise an exiting story about booze smuggling, Secret agents, assassinations, fast boats and white cheese in return for this information. :D

    Having a great laugh reading this very old thread :))

    From all the hate for the new Bond (including boycott and actual petition signing) to personal attacks on Craig and a hilarious bet from someone convinced that a Craig film will never make $400mil...ahh the good old days of 2005.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,870Chief of Staff
    Well, that brought back a few memories! :)) :)) :))

    :)) Yes, that is a blast from the past! I was reminded how I was initially alarmed by Craigger's casting...but ended up being one of his most staunch AJB defenders as the Craig Wars began to heat up before principal photography on CR had even begun...

    Often, the rear-view mirror of history provides a much clearer view.

    We can get the good old days back when a new actor is cast as Bond: "The new guy looks like a model!". "His hair is too dark!", "He's too tall. EON will have to re-cast with taller co-stars!", "He can't act - he hasn't even done any theatre!" :))

    My 1000th post :) I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone! I've been a member here for around three years now and during those years I've had an absolutely incredible time on this crazy website that caused my interest for Bond soar. I've had some fantastic discussions, read about and seen some very interesting and amazing things, picked up some awesome items and most importantly made some great friends all around the world. So thank you for everything AJB -{

    So, after D. Trump miserably failed to address Tim Cook properly, Tim changed his Facebook profile accordingly:
