BOND CARS FROM SHELL

After going through two rounds of Ferrari cars collections, Shell is going for James Bond's famous cars in the latest promotion to all its customers. They are smart to capitalize on people like me who likes to collect all these stuffs. The size is more than 100% smaller than the previous Ferrai car collections but the price difference is less than that. The Ferrari cars used to cost around RM7++.

You need to buy the Bond cars at RM5.50 each with a minimum purchase of RM40 worth of Shell petrol / diesel or Shell Helix 3L / 4L pack. There is also a transparent side briefcase costing RM60 (I think) which can house all these cars into it for display purposes. I don't think I will spend purposely for that.

What is your favourite car? I think the Lotus Esprit looks ugliest and the Aston Martin DBS from the latest movie is the coolest of them all. I thought the collection is great because it gives you a quick trip down memory lane of some of the great cars Bond used since 1962's Dr. No. Oh, Dr. No reminds me of Ursula Undress, I mean Andress. She is to me still the hottest Bond girl of all time! Honey Ryder and the mango tree. Mmmmm.....

Till today, I still don't like Daniel Craig as James Bond no matter how many defenders out there are saying how good he is and the fact that he could be the best Bond of all time. Haha! For me, Sean Connery is the real James Bond. If not, Roger Moore.
