Daniel Craig Brings Back The Old Aston Martin

Posted on February 24, 2012 by The Mechanic

James Bond purists rejoice! The original Aston Martin is back! Made popular during it’s appearance in Goldfinger when it was driven by Sean Connery as Bond, the Aston Martin has become iconic to the Bond character, but has been absent from the series for some time now. During Quantum of Solace, current Bond Daniel Craig drove a newer Aston Martin, which looked cool, but left some fans wondering why he couldn’t just drive the classic. Well their wish has been granted and according to recent set photos, the Aston Martin DB5 will be making it’s return in Skyfall with Craig behind the wheel and Top Gear‘s Ben “The Stig” Collins doing the stunt work. So if you’re going to see Skyfall opening weekend, expect to hear the Bond theme, then see Craig coming zipping over the horizon in the classic Aston, and then have the moment ruined by a bunch of people clapping.

Daniel Craig: Another Star Who Loves Audi

Posted on January 2, 2012 by The Mechanic

It looks like James Bond loves Audis too. Daniel Craig, star of Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall (the latest, and some of the most critically acclaimed films in the James Bond:007 series) has been spotted around Los Angeles diving both an Audi R8, and an Audi S6, which have a combined price tag of around $300 thousand (the R8 is responsible for about two-thirds of that), but are still more cost effective than the Bentleys and Bugatis some of his contemporaries are tooling around in. Craig is part of an ever-growing number of celebrities who have chosen to get behind the wheel of the extremely well-built and ultra-safe German car. He looks pretty smooth behind the wheels of those bad boys, but to be honest, he’d probably look smooth in the Geek Squad car from Best Buy, he’s just one of those people. If you’re not imagining opening your door to see Daniel Craig giving you the icey Bond stare while wearing a short-sleeved shirt and tie, VW Bug parked behind him, and him saying “I’ve heard you’ve got printer issues”; then you’ve got no sense of humor…or better things to do, either way.
