Thanks
@Onslow that story about the car in Duke of Hazzard is really interesting, I used to love that programme when I was a kid. I cannot believe they got through that may cars, environmentalists would never allow that to happen these days. I loved the way the slid in through the windows, my dad used to go mad when I used to try and get in the back of the family car that way
Another interesting story I learned when I visited the Aston Martin museum a few years ago relates to James Bond. It was written that 007 would drive a Jaguar but they point blank refused to lend any of their cars for filming. So Aston Martin was chosen as a second choice, they lent them 5 cars but insisted they return them in near perfect condition. Aston Martin even stripped down the machine gun holes and gadgets used and sold it as a standard construction DB5, even though it would have been worth much more as used in Dr No!!!!
I'm sure Jaguar probably regret the decision not to allow James Bond to drive their cars now....
