What the H E Double Toothpicks does LRJ have to do with James Bond : the movies or the books pray tell ?
Oh gee . One of their playthings is getting a whole moment or two in the upcoming 007 Film ( and got a couple of moments in an old one due to them then being owned by Ford along with Aston Martin ) and now suddenly LRJ thinks they’re part of the franchise and have a right to celebrate 007’s 60th ? Golly ! Guess AMC better crawl back from the dead as well as Lotus , BMW , Toyota etc who’ve all played bigger roles in the films jump on board . Oh …. but wait ! Isn’t Bond still driving an Aston Martin ( which is not owned by TATA ! ) Now thats who should be celebrating 60 years of Bond on film . Aston Martin . Not pretentious TATA owned LRJ !
That’s a great way to promote the new James Bond movie as well as celebrating the 50th anniversary of James Bond.
