Dear [contact-First_name], welcome to the Bond Lifestyle Newsletter

I'm excited to announce a new contest on Bond Lifestyle! Scroll down and read how you can win a fantastic new digital camera from MINOX. In the near future, Bond Lifestyle will start monthly contests, so stay tuned!

Barely two weeks after the US premiere of Quantum of Solace, David Zaritsky has already produced another installment of his popular 'Bond on a Budget' articles. Read part 1 of the Quantum of Solace on a Budget article, which starts with a letter to mr. Tom Ford.

While fighting for the environment, James Bond uses half of Bolivia's oil reserves just to get around in his luxury suv's and sports cars. This month we take a closer look at Bond's Range Rover Sport HSE... both of them.

I hope you enjoy Bond Lifestyle, please don't hesitate to contact me with any requests or suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.
