007 plates on Astons are cool....

..... discuss

Starting with 0 007 Ron on a drop top Vantage seen today driven by a bloke who's name probably was Ron

Not James

Over to you

[Dalto123]

there's a DB9 I've seen loads of times with the plate N007 DBS

[C2james]

i think it can be very cool but if done correctly.

[AndrewW-G]

Very uncool . . . . . Bonds car didn't have it on

[Gad-Westy]

I can think of nothing less cool.

Hmmm, do the owners drive everywhere in a dinner suit too? That would be less cool I suppose.

[Rawwr]

I think it's utterly classless but that's just my opinion

[GadgeS3C]

Only cool at Le Mans IMHO...

[RRS_Staffs]

Spooky

Moved from gen to the AM forum within minutes

Im now worried about who's watching me however they may well be parked outside my gaff in a DBS on a 007 plate so will be easy to spot LOL

[worley]

A few years back I saw 8OND, thought it was cool..

[cptsideways]

I saw "007" and that was it on a roller in London last week, right plate wrong car!

[michael gould]

I think I've made my position clear on this subject, but just to be clear it's the sort of thing a 14 YO would think is cool .

[mikey k]

Deeply "uncool" !

[Rollcage]

Ian Fleming wasn't particularly bothered about model accuracy in his books - he didn't get the model designation right for the Bentley he has Bond driving , and the bit part Aston wasn't right either.

Fleming's book creation drove Bentleys - the Aston connection only really gained pace with the films.

well hi there!!

[JA51ON W]

A few years ago i saw J 007 on a lambo which i thought looked good, would have been cool on a DBS or Vanquish

A friend of mine has a plate with --8ond on it,I don`t know the first part,but it`s been on a couple of Aston`s and Lambo`s,a Maserati and a few TVR`s,maybe the same guy.
Was he driving like his arse was on fire?

[George H]

Definitely not cool, especially when they are on a car James Bond has never driven like the V8V or DB9.

Aston Martin and 007 are inextricably linked. That's why they use 007 on the Le Mans car and sell 007 branded clothing in both their sport and leisure wear.

007 plates on the road cars are definitely cool!!!

[LD1Racing]

007 plate on an Aston = 555 plate on a Subaru IMHO

I've realised in the last couple of weeks that the best thing about them is that they get right up the noses of those tedious, cardigan wearing stick in the muds who don't like them

Most people don't tend to notice them to be honest (which is probably a message to those getting bent out of shape ). Of those that do, I've only ever had positive comments.

What I'd really like to see is a Cygnet with one on. And then see a video of MG and George's heads spinning
