  That's what I was thinking about, how the linkage would work
  to all those systems.

  The tankers in LTK were driven from a compartment in the back of the cab.

  Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

  Didn't they do something like this with the remote control BMW car in TND? I think they drove it from the boot or something if memory serves.

  I thought for TND, the drove it from a lowered back seat. With a small
  TV screen to see the road ?

  Here's an article from Motortrend magazine. It goes back to Skyfall and on page three of the article it briefly explains how the setup works.

  Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

  I'll also add that not all cars are driven from cages up top. Check out this article from Car And Driver

  Thanks Mr Martini -{ seems to be as many have said no physical
  Connect but hydraulics etc. Seems very difficult to drive.
  It was just one of those questions, I'd seen them on behind the scenes
  Clips etc, but it never struck me until yesterday, how they actually worked.

  You're probably right. It's been years since I watched some of the documentaries on TND that I recorded back in 1997 so I'm probably not remembering things properly. I thought it was worth mentioning though.

  {[] I find some of the " Real life" solutions that films have to employ, almost
  As interesting as the films themselves. )
  As in " The Incredible shrinking man", to create big water drops they bought
  Thousands of condoms, filling them with milk and water to represent " rain
