I collect 1/18 diecast Bond cars, and you can tell this car isn't very popular among Bond fans by how much the models cost. The cool thing is that it's a nice Bond car with lots of weapons to display, and that's what makes the Bond cars so much fun to collect. So I finally bought one for the collection last week, and it was new in the box and I bid $10 and won, it'll be here Friday. The more popular Bond cars go for hundreds of dollars, so that's a real bargain for a nice model. Love the color too.
It was fast but not fast enough. Should have kept the v12 maybe with 4 camshafts, that would have made it exotic and the people that put deposits down might not wanted their money back
It was fast. When was the last time you did over 200mph on a public road? The V12 had quad cams. Engineering decisions based on complexity, weight and cost were deciding factors to go to the quad cam V6 and the car is better for it. Only now are the likes of Ford and Ferrari doing V6 engines because of the engineering advantages.
Jaguar the XKR The bond villain car that actually appeared in the 2002 James Bond film die another day and the front of the car the badge it says jaguar supercharged while most of the models have a 4.0 L V8 this one is one of the only cars in the film swapped with the 5.0 L supercharged V8 engine, equipped with the secret James Bond gadgets, including the missiles on the front grill the missiles on the side doors the mini gun and the nine tube mortar bomb system on the cars boot some people say this is better than other car let me know in the comments
Ah, is that an engineering build? The production cars went with normal doors, dual turbo V6 engines, and no rear-wheel steering. They couldn’t reach 220MPH either.
This was Possibly the first XJ 220 to be built because its the Concept Car Built with The V12 engine from Jaguar , Before mainstream production but Due to the company's bad finances at the time they decided to go with the V6 engine instead of the V12 and the doors are also how it should of been but so much cheaper to go with ordinary doors. Please check my Facts @KentBuchla
That's my son right at the beginning of your video saying ''We'd seen it ages ago'' which indeed we all had seeing that this first car went round the arrival circuit effectively twice. We waited 4 hours and did not see Shmee or Matt - but we did see them walking back to Pimlico Underground Stn plus saw Shmee's pink support transit and gave a wave - Brad shouted out a thank you!
Yeah it was a little bit disappointing. Didn’t get to Shmee, Mark, McCann, DDE, Matt Armstrong, I travelled down from Milton Keynes I set off at 1 o’clock in the afternoon and because I parked in the Battersea power station car park and the crowds of people took me over 45 minutes to get out of Battersea. I didn’t get home till 1:20.Am. But you’re right, very disappointed with the way the event was organised it was organised chaos. I’m glad your boy got to see some of the people he wanted to see.👍🏻
Yeah I agree, disappointed they shut the place down before seeing Shmee, Mark McCann, Matt Armstrong. & All the big runners and all the cool cars, didn’t get to see after waiting for eight hours. Hopefully @Shmee150 will have his collection out at Goodwood FOS
Hi great video 💪 . Can I ask where is the main gate to paddock , how did u get there . Should I pass Copse Tunel and go between The Loop and Becketts corners ? thx
There was a Paddock shuttle service by the hospitality Marquez. The main gate to the paddock is club corner on the inside of the track where the mini roundabout is behind the main stand.. I hope this helps.
Was Vlogging this on the opposite side of the roundabout , wish I hadn’t drank the free Red Bull prior as stood for an hour plus desperately needing a pee 😂
Just imagine if the crash hadn’t happened, the cars would be flying round the track at extreme speeds, not only would there be traumatised people in the stands, but also on TV when they got run over. I don’t understand why there is such ignorance on this Earth
Protesters trying to ruin Silverstone F1 I know it doesn’t sound good but lucky that red flag come up or one of those Protesters could’ve been seriously injured if not killed
