Aston Martins and submarines
“I’m intrigued Bond-san.”
So were visitors to the farm this week. Parked in the yard is a large crate labelled ‘Submersible Vehicle Mk1 D 007.
With a Royal Navy supply label.
Hmm, a spoof spy car in the workshp, and now a James Bond submarine! Is there something Nigel isn’t telling us?
Actually, it’s all pretty straight forward. A friend acroos the pond bent his Aston in a race and needs a new front end. So I am sending him one. I phoned a chum in the movie logistics business for some advice, she pointed me towards a company who had a crate for sale as they had ‘lost’ their submarine!! Perfect for packing panels for a pranged Aston Martin…
Poor Malcolm nearly had a fit when they delivered it, he had to use his trusty Renault 4 (The one we use as a starter motor for ROJ) to pull the crate off the low loader. Lucky it didn’t slip otherwise it would have flattened the poor R4.
