Aston Martin DBS

Oops! An Aston Martin DBS has been fished out of Italy’s Lake Garda after it plunged into the water while being driven to the set of the latest James Bond film, reports the AP. Producers of Quantum of Solace say James Bond’s iconic car was being delivered to the filming unit in heavy rain on Saturday morning when it went off the road and into the lake in northern Italy. Footage of the car being hoisted out of the water has been shown on Italian TV. Thankfully the driver wasn’t badly hurt, but was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

A source said the car was the only one available for shooting. Oh dear.

    Daniel Craig is insisting that production company EON fits his Bond car with special tyres during promotional activities. Tyres that will actually be able to handle the amount of horsepower produced by the Aston Martin DBSs he’s cruising around in. After all the crashes that occurred during the shoots… I have a cousin working at EON who told me. I didn’t believe it at first but then he showed me a photo he took with his mobile (check it out). http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcs040... Looks good!

    Fascinating story on AJB007.co.uk. What kind of special tyres are they? They look pretty cool!
