Why oh Why, would those guys put a Scottish Hi-Fi system into an English built car? Who is James bond? Does he drink Scotch? Who has 007 output transistors in their amps..and who had 007 on their Naim Clock card back in 86 wink

Cor blimey guv what ever next!

Speaking as a resident of the town where the AM's are built (or at least some of them), I have been alarmed at the lack of PRaT coming from the workshops when I walk past. It seems the workers may have replaced their transistor radios in the workshop for Linn Classic systems ;-)

So we can expect poor fit and finish from now on then...and how neat and even those stitches were in the leather wink

Well, erm, James Bond was half Scottish, so there might be a connection there.

OTOH, Bond also had impeccable taste...........

.....maybe they didn't like the idea of integrating a Supercap and XPS into the dashboard.

All I can say is Aston Martin must be pretty smooth handling motors.

There's not many cars that would have the stability to take an LP12 on UK roads.

There can't be that much room for the Mana either? wink

James Bond preferred to be shaken than stirred or it would have to have been a Naim
