[atwistoflemming]

My friend had an E-Type Bond....

[KeeperofTheMountain]

[yourfullofsheite]

It does a nice job on your lawn there.

[The1200sportster]

yes ,chevyslick , i is a real car and road leagal here in u k ,later ones had electric start too .

[SEGAjdb]

Does the outfit come with the car?

[whizbang47]

Anybody have the "Topper" episode where the ghosts put the dog in the driver's seat of the Metropolitan convertible? Also, is this the "Mr. Bean" car?

[fishiestory]

@whizbang47 No, this is a Bond Minicar. The Mr Bean car was a Reliant Regal.

[douro20]

@fishiestory

A Regal? I thought the car which he always managed to run off the road was a Robin.

[fishiestory]

@douro20 Definately a Regal. The Robin was a later car.

[lemmehaveone]

Haha, I love how the dude just walks away.

[bunsofsteeeel]

il have the doggy!

[marshgre]

Wouldn't want to have to restart after a long drive. Could get warm.

[chevyslick]

is that a production vehicle?

[yiblon]

Are those his special Gallins and Hawthorn Bond starting boots ?

[WurledPeas]

Standing in the engine well to kickstart your minicar. What could possibly go wrong?

[polish0my0knob]

Here in the 21st century electric starters have made a big difference. cool car

[ENINNALP]

I can`t imagine with these didn`t catch one

other than he fact the dog would eventually put it in gear right after it starts, causing the hood to fall slicing off the drivers head, dragging away the bloody corpse still trapped in the engine bay...

anyone know

[ArtyEffem]

@ENINNALP They did catch on, to the extent that Bond were bought by the competition (Reliant) just to get rid of them. Just as well really because they were an unnecessary noise nuisance.

[crustyhead2]

Class! Love it!

[mrspivvy]

LOL! the expression on that dog's face!!

[powaybob]

Well, no way you could get hurt doing that.......

[WurledPeas]

@powaybob No shit!

[wyllieohagan]

Dog is deeply unimpressed by it all:)

[FSTOPDR]

This is a prime example of how much I DON'T KNOW about this planet!

The name Bond car, brought to mind images of 007.

Also,

How did you keep the dog from driving off?

[lawrencelugar7777]

Cool - high revving, sweet sound, and good gas mileage.

How much would it costs, approx, to swap out my engine from my Miata to a motorcycle engine?

[lastmondaypast1]

i think that car would be too heavy, you gotta have a bare bones custom made car for that, sort of like the vw thing. Miata probably gets the same mileage anyways.

[xlaptopx]

How cool is that! Gotta be the best video on You Tube yet... Don't ever stall at traffic lights. lol

Thanks for posting this.

[mountfields]

bet you check it`s out of gear first !!!!!!

[steamwally]

0:06 = "Damn plastic panels, my foots gone through the floor again"

[elcoyote54]

Does the Dog have a drivers license??

[mitchellberry]

wheel's on the other side...

[ucz600]

you dont get any better than that now do you !!!!!

[autouniondkw102]

[waterboost]
