The scrapping of the Arrow program was an absolute farce and one of the best examples of lack of foresight in Canadian history. The Arrow would have but Avro right up there with avery other heavy-hitting aerospace company and could have ushered in a new era of aviation development in Canada while giving Canadians a…

The Super Car Guys dude reminds me of Doug DeMuro. Not totally sure why.

Definitely one of my top five. And the only Bond movie I’ve seen in the theatre twice. With hindsight, when you go back at look at the Brosnan Bonds you wonder how the franchise survived. Much more visceral and real. Some people would argue it’s more Bourne than Bond but it was a necessary re-image for a new era.…

FINALLY!!!

This is every conversation I have with every non-enthusiast. I’ve reached the inescapable conclusion that they don’t actually WANT a recommendation - just an endorsement from the guy at work that’s into cars that whatever boring or ill-advised decision they’re making is a sound one. Just ask the friend of a friend…

I’m travelling to D.C. for the first time on October 2nd. I was really looking forward to checking out the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and the national monuments. Thanks guys! I suppose I can always check out the local Chipotle instead.

Cars aside, one of my favourite elements of this movie were the cryptic lines the cast came away with. For example:

Hey Toyota, Cadillac called. They want their taillights bac...ah forget it. Even I think the joke sucks.

Admittedly, I’ve never driven a dual clutch car but I know with most cars with a manu-matic transmission that I have driven, I play with it for five minutes then I put it back in “D”. It’s no substitute for rowing your own gears.

Just like the $130,000 Challenger Hellcat at the local independent car lot near me. Best of luck, friend!

He should have deployed the smoke screen to evade the cops.

Somewhat unrelated but knowing how bad the older Allroads are (B5=bad), what’s the deal with the current gen? Everything I read seems fairly positive. Motor Trend had one as a long-termer said it didn’t go wrong once.

If I were Captain I’d spend those lonely days at sea mastering tunes on my ship’s horn. Next: Fever by The Black Keys.

“The suspect was apprehended after police performed a PIT maneuver on the Rover, causing it to flip into a ditch.”

One of my favourites, principally because it’s the closest to Ian Fleming’s Bond. Can still recite plenty of lines.

You forgot to mention Joe Don Baker plays a baddie (Whittaker) in this then three movies later, he’s a good guy (Jack Wade).

There was also a deleted scene in Tangier where Bond rode a magic carpet.…

I drove the Furka Pass and the Stelvio Pass out of Bormio last year in a rental Fiat 500L Diesel that was woefully ill-equipped for the job. When I go back....that is a definite WHEN....I’ll make sure I’m in a proper car. For my part, I agree with your comments. Furka is dicey and Stelvio was full of bicyclists when I…

Renault 11 taxi in “A View To A Kill”

Blower Bentley driven by David Niven in Casino Royale;

I do miss the smell of oil mixed with anti-freeze though.

Captain Hank Moody would like to thank you for flying with us today...
