007 plates are cringeworthy imo. AML look ok but wouldn't be my choice. I quite like the V8 xxx or V12 xxx plates though.

Young George gets it wrong occasionally, but on this subject we are in agreement.......007 are worse than gold spinners on your wheels.......it shows a total lack of style and anybody sporting a 007 plate should be shot.....they are bloody awful

Apart from that they are fine ( for the great unwashed)

This is bad
I'm agreeing with George again
I personally dislike any Bond style plate and don't really like the AML/Bond thing either, AML is OK ish.
I'm quiet happy with a plate that is personal to you (like ours )
Each to their own though.

I was 9 years old when JB drove his Aston Martin and my Dad took me along to see it. It made quite an impression. I am sure that like many young lads of that time the two will alway's be inseperable to us. A 007 plate alway's makes me smile, I really dont understand the dislike of it. Ok I wouldnt have one but that's only because I'm so shy!

That's a first - I agree with Maverick

Do you wear your dinner suit everywhere too?

I dislike it as it's quite sad driving round pretending to be James Bond, and it's even worse since 95% of the time they're on Astons that Bond hasn't driven!

I like a good bond film always have
But overt product placement just puts me off
I'd rather something gained success on its merits
But as I said each to their own

I remember it like it was yesterday Phil. It was the year after we had a real winter, before central heating! Everyone at school was either James Bond or The Man from Uncle.

Likewise. I was 10 and I still perfectly remember wanting the Corgi DB5 (in gold) for Christmas that year. There was a toy shop near me called Caves and they enticingly displayed one in their window in the run-up. I was a lucky by. I was also lucky 'cos mum sneaked me in with my older brother o see the film too. I assume it was an A so I should have been 14 ;-)

Is having an 007 registration on your car any worse than having an 007 watch on your wrist??

You could go in and see it so long as you were with an adult. My Dad had been at school with the manager of our local Plaza. He saw us in the que and marched us straight in for free.

Batman PAH!!!!!

Not really, I don't have any 007 gear but I rather like the fact that I own the original James Bond Aston and with its own personalised plate too ;-)

Yes because everybody knows your a knob with the plate......but if you have a long cuff only you the salesman who sold you the watch knows your a knob...........why would anybody want a 007 plate ........for God sake don't ruin the image of Aston Martin with something so crass

I have 007 boxer shorts but then I thats because i have a big nob











I wish !

I do have an Omega Seamaster, but decided against the 007 version.........I'll leave the gimmicks to Timex. Same principal, I guess.

Having said that, the opening scene of Quantum of Solace does give me a bit of a gentleman's early morning issue. As do scenes from Goldfinger, the living daylights, casino royale and more recently, Skyfall. I missed out die another day on purpose, the vanquish was more Knight Rider than Bond. But at no point in any of them was 007 present on the number plate.

I don't wear watches Tim so I personally would have neither.

I would, however, quite happily have a 7 beers with somebody who has both

.....so long as they are paying

that's part of my point earlier

All private plates are beyond awful IMO, let alone the 007 designation.
