For all those on the American side of the pond, with cable TV, TNN has been 
having a 24 hour/5 day Bond film marathon... I have been enjoying the cars 
immensely...

In "You Only Live Twice", he and the Japanese female agent are tooling about in 
that special little white number. The car has quite an interesting engine- 
apparently it achieves high speed with no engine revs! Through out most of the 
driving scenes she keeps her hands on the wheel ,blocking any view of the 
gauges. But in one, she turns sharply, bringing the tach into view, where it is 
clearly pegged at 0. A little later, you catch the speedo in the same 
situation. I'd hate to think they faked these driving scenes! ;)
