NR. 5 - Thursday May 5th, 2006

Welcome to the fifth James Bond Lifestyle Newsletter

This month I added some cars to the website, with the Saab 900 being one of the most interesting (and affordable!) vehicles Bond has ever owned. As an Alfa Romeo owner and fan I'm proud to show the Alfa Romeo GTV6 as well, which is featured in Octopussy. Have a look for yourself.

Featured in Tomorrow Never Dies. The BMW 750Li (the stretched version, noted by the "L" in 750Li) is a four-door, as opposed to the sexier two-doored Z3. But the 750Li has a combination of conservative good looks and performance that's comparable to any of its predecessors.

Living Like Bond - Part 2 - by David Zaritsky
The click clacketing of the computer resounded through the small room. Nervously, he looked up from the screen to peer out of the office window into the bustling hallway, already filled with people. Seemingly their eyes bore into him, casting suspicion his way as he used his laptop to search furiously for the object of his mission. Suddenly it loomed before him on the liquid screen...but was he too late? Surely at any moment one of the surly characters in the hallway would burst into his office foiling his moves. With only 30 seconds to go before the mission would be compromised he made his move. Bid accepted and won! I was the proud owner of the Dunhill belt as seen in Tomorrow Never Dies. Whew, almost lost that auction, but did it just in time before that big marketing meeting in three minutes.
