STOP GETTING BOND WRONG!
Am I really getting bond wrong Alan ? :-)
Bond is a gent, he wears a suit, he carries ladies around, he needs to come and go unnoticed.

The Mono is about as wrong as you could get IMO

Maybe something equally stealthy for a secret agent?

Tbh ... I am really shocked that petrol heads and bond fans didn't both say ... Yes defo


Absolutely ... Classic cruiser for the seduction scenes ....


But when it comes to car chases ... Imagine. If he managed to get inside a shopping arcade .. Racing a mono around its walkways ... Being chased by ninjas on quad bikes ....

Mono revving and snarling as he slides it around corners...


I always wanted to drive my atom around a shopping centre .... Would be hilarious

Disastrous

Tbh, that sounds like the worst of the Roger Moore OTT era - you might as well have a. Pigeon doing a 'comedy' double take and a tramp looking twice at his wine bottle before pouring it away...

Not my taste for Bond at all! Much prefer the understated Cold War thriller Bond to the nonsensical stuff.

Bond is definitely no gent ... He's a thug at times ... And a cad most of the time ... He's flash and obnoxious to his superiors ...

When it takes a bullet ... He will blow the building up ...

....

Luckily his opponents are just as large as life ...


Actually .. Maybe the ninjas should all drive monos ....

Bond can drive his four seat 2 ton gin palace ... With heated seats ... Cup holders... Maybe a matching golf umbrella on the back shelf .... Mmmmmm nice ...


I am with the ninjas on this one....

I don't want to be bond if I have to drive crap cars .. Lol

Or.... skinny jeans, baggy jumper, thick rimmed glasses and a pair of retro New Balance trainers whilst chasing the ninjas on his fixie!

The Bond you are talking about I loved when I was 10 and it was the end of the 70's and early 80's, but as soon as Bourne came out it all felt very dated, don't get me wrong I love the new Craig Bond films, but I really do think subtle and dark is the way it needs to stay for a while, and what you are describing sound like Carry On Bond!! wink

... Must admit I'd never heard of the ... Mono... before this ... thread ...either, if it ever ... did appear... in a ... Bond film I'd assume ... it'd be in a little action sequence where he steals it for some completely bizarre reason, like Brosnan did with the ice speed record car a few films ago. Bond has moved on from those gadgets though, there's no way the post Casino Royale Bond would drive something as garish as that.

It was bad enough Bond having a sodding Mondeo in Casino Royale but WTF is he meant to do with a MONO.

A single seater does not help him pick up the ladies does it.....

Get the DB4 back and leave it at that! or build hime the equivalent of a Singer DB4 with a current DB9 running gear!

.. Big bond fan ... Apart from dalton.. Dalton
Taken it too fking far now, no one disrespects T-Dog.

Dalton was the modern Bond before people were ready for the modern Bond.

fking Avant-garde.


Bond isn't meant to be F3 driver in his spare time, he's meant to be fk up of the old Bullingdon club variety, I like the Mono, bond wouldn't, he's a Fast GT man pure and simple.

In the books he had a fking pre war Bentley, supercharged (against peoples advice...), he wouldn't want something that isn't comfy, he spends too much time swanning around for that sort of thing.
