Aha - a Jenson

You have me on that one - What year is “Solo” supposed to be in?

The Bond series producers went weird with American Motors cars in TMWTGG and one 007 flick that had nothing but GM cars in it - every taxi, etc.; strange stuff.

Jenson bodied the Volvo P1800S coupe Roger Moore drove in “The Saint” TV series and the little known Jenson-Healey sportscar.

Jaguar turned them down for the 007 movies - someone (a Director?) on the set drove his own E-Type convertible to the set every day - Jag made a very poor decision as Aston Martin sales jumped considerably.

A new McLaren F1 coupe would provide the sophisticated handling, extra comfy ride, and the blistering speed that James Bond would expect in his cars today.

Whatever happened to the talk of Bond driving a Bentley Continental Turbo Coupe?

I like logical continuity in the Bond series movies.

- Pardon my halting response; breaking in a MacBook PRO now and setting up my “pop3” email accounts with cable and APPLE are a bit slow and i am used to a lighterweight wireless keyboard but I do have warp speed connections and navigation now.

Screen clarity is great and setting up an large HDTV link to it soon.

- Beam me up Scotty; I need to check my email situation at APPLE.
