what's your coolest Bond experience?
mine was when I visited sevaral locations in London (MI6, charing cross tube entrance) and when we went to Piz Gloria for my birthday last year.
I currently am trying to top it with attending the SPECTRE premiere in Berlin or Zürich.

1. Having made it down to Akime/Japan and visit the fishermen village locations there. The trip down to Kyushu is an experience itself!
2. Piz Gloria - particularly skiing down to Mürren
3. Being an extra for 2 days during the making of TND
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Nice. I've been close but never made it to Piz Gloria. I guess you took your avatar photo yourself while at Vauxhall bridge?
Me? I've seen Little Nellie fly & I've sat in the TSWLM Lotus. I also got up close & personal with many of the weapons featured in the movies at a special exhibition which was once held at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK.
Can we extend to personal Bond like experiences?
I bet especially No.3 was a lifetime experience -{
thanks, I guess it was very cool to see SU items
oh and sure thing-extended
the restraining order, and When Daniel left the court hearing ? )
( only joking Walther p99)
I've had a few heart stopping moments. I've been involved in many high speed car chases (me doing the chasing!) I've been involved in many fights & taken down some really nasty characters on my own when required, I've had people try to kill me.
Do you have any info on if, when and where this might take place? I thought there was only the premiere in London so I was hoping to catch one of the first (english language) screenings on German soil. But so far no luck with individual cinemas' websites...
"- That is something to be afraid of."
If there is a premiere in Berlin it definitely for 100% will take place at the Sony Center like all premieres. as for if there is a premiere I can only assume it since the last 4 Bonds had one...in Berlin
If contacted Sony pictures for further info but no response within a week X-(
I'll try again later...
Oh and it was at dawn
I signed the official secrets act.
Some of my work, especially when I was posted to the intelligence section, was secret (though I had signed the OSA beforehand anyway)
I was bestowed with special powers by the Government (though not of the superhuman variety!) but not a license to kill.
I got to 'play' with specially adapted ultra high performance cars.
Over in the corner a parked up vehicle flashed his head lights , "flash back he asks ,again we get the return signal ,oohh eer
I saw this the other night on the IPCRESS file ,So the parked vehicle pulls over next to me and we all gets out ,
Fellow Mi6 agents no doubt ,I didn't ask ,Out of the blue ,also parked up in the shadows ,comes a Police Volvo estate.
They give us a quick strobe of the blue light bar ,and then they get out ,So now there is 5 of us in this crappy retail park car park ,in the fine drizzle ."Ere wots going on ,says one of the officers ,I identified myself ,"why are you driving this ,this isn't a Police vehicle ,and who are you , the 2 men identified themselves .You could see the 2 officers were puzzled ,are these guys real ,after all ive never up and till that day seen a MI6 badge ,and probably nor had they. "Why you with these men ,before I could explain ,one of the MI6 guys says , you don't say anything ,they don't need to know ,"I want some answers says one of the cops .We have told you who we are and he is working for us (oh goody ive been field promoted)
Why arnt we told whats going on ,said one of the now frustrated cops , "You don't need to know says MI6 and it went on
Until eventually a radio call ,came into the cop car basically telling the 2 cops to leave us alone .All good fun ,but scary non the less
Thank you! I'll try and keep my eyes and ears open as well.

You picked up The Mantis?? )
Crikey...that must have seemed surreal and sh*t scary at the same time....
Mmm, my Bondish moments... well, Bond Girl moments... spear fishing in the Caribbean a la Honey Ryder...
Skiing in Whistler, a la Elektra King....
...oh and attending rather swanky drinks parties when my father was the defence attache in Amman. Not to mention having diplomatic immunity status - (which got me out of a pickle once, when returning back to the Ambassadors residence rather intoxicated ) )
[*]Some pretty legendary, scary and thrilling drives[/*]
[*]Low-level ops where we flew so low under the radar that we followed every little contour of the terrain in an Iroquois helicopter (me always in the gunner's seat, making it a really hairy ride!)[/*]
[*]Being waterboarded/dunked, almost drowned during interrogation training[/*]
[*]Undercover/sleeper work *watching* a, rather ambitious but foolish, group of thugs attempting a "job" way above their pay grade[/*]

A little bit 'skyfallish' but I once had occasion to rescue someone who had fallen through the ice on a frozen lake. Fortunately he was on the edge so the water only came up to his chest but he was in quite a bad way because he couldn't get out. I managed to get him out but went in the water myself in the process. It was a 'little acorn' that day I can assure you!
the most exciting thing in 19 years of HTH was seeing a DB5 in London B-)
