New Idea..maybe...James Bond cars.
This is an open idea for anyone who wants to run with it..
I found this site that lists all the cars used in the James Bond Movies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ja ... r_vehicles
Each entrant could choose a car from the list. There is quite a variety.
Or maybe 2 cars one driven by Bond and one driven by the baddies.
Ideas, suggestions, concerns, recipes?................

Oooooohhh I like this idea! I've personally never seen any James Bond movies, but I think this would be a great race because of the variety of vehicles that could be built.
Wait! What! Never seen a James Bond movie...have never heard that before!

I guess I'll have to rent some and watch them

Add me to the list as well. Have never seen a single James Bond movie and I watch at least one movie a week with the wife.
never seen any of the STAR WARS movies...
I've never seen any "Twilight" movies.....not that I want to.................
Even if you're not a James Bond fan, Skyfall is an excellent movie and by far the best Bond film thus far, arguably...Sean Connery was a classic but the movies/society was very different back then.
in dr. no, connery kills the spy and drives off in a black 1957 chevy convertible... just in case...
So not to drive this completely off-topic...but how do you guys not see any of these movies?
Bonds, Star Wars...those are some of the biggest, most-important movies in film history, how did you miss them?
How about Godfather? Jaws? Superman?
I know you guys are a bit older than me but I find it hard to believe that the last movie you guys saw was Gone with the Wind!!
BTW, I like this idea for a tournament James Bond were as much a car movies as they were a spy/gadget movies.
I've seen all the Star Wars movies, I prefer the original episodes IV, V and VI.
from high school on I was a rock n roller, Yamaha amp & speakers, Harmen Collins turntable and a Teak open reel... cranked... didn't watch much tv in the '70s, '80s and '90s...didn't get color tv or cable till the late '90s [mildly color blind] now, nuthin' but the blues yall !
Back to the original topic......
Seeing the Wikipedia list of James Bond vehicles that Stroller posted the link to, I seen some vehicles that could be built for this race if it actually happened. They are:
Double Decker Bus - Matchbox
Moon Buggy - Hot Wheels (Mars Rover)
New Holland Tractor (Wish they would have been specific on the model) - ERTL or Matchbox Real Working Rigs
Old school Aston Martin DB5 (Not sure on the year) - Hot Wheels (They just released one!)
Just some ideas.
