I could almost weep: James Bond's Aston Martin DBS falls in the drink

Bond car plunges into Lake Garda

A stunt driver has crashed the car used by movie secret agent James Bond into Italy's Lake Garda during filming of 007's latest movie, Quantum of Solace.

The driver was delivering the iconic Aston Martin DBS to the film scene in heavy rain when he lost control around one of the lake's narrow curves.

The Beeb has video.

Looks totalled.

And in a lighter mode, Junk Bond!

Via Ace (whose commenter's phrase I "borrow"),

Daniel Craig is urging movie bosses to revolutionise the James Bond franchise by including a gay scene involving the superspy in the follow-up to Casino Royale.

So much for that. As they say in my native land,
Adios, James.

Update, Sunday, December 24: Looks like he didn't say it, after all.
In that case, Nos vemos, James
