GOLDFINGER (1964)

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB ‘Goldfinger,’ 2024. Rolls-Royce is marking 60 years of the James Bond movie Goldfinger with a one-off Phantom Extended. The yellow paint matches the colour of Auric Goldfinger’s 1937 Phantom III Sedanca de Ville. Other Goldfinger-inspired touches include a real gold bar on the console, a map of Fort Knox on the picnic tables, and gold linings for the front and rear console boxes.

"Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.' " (Auric Goldfinger, encountering a persistent nuisance yet again).

I'm not sure if the adage applies to crustaceans, especially unreal ones, but in the past week there's been This, and then This, and now This.

It's not just the only one in all three posts that could be eaten, it's the only one in all three posts I WOULD eat.

I have an understanding with shellfish and crustaceans - I don't eat them, they don't make me sick. Fair enough.

However, the ornament on the strawberry mousse - seen on Bluesky and created by andreana - would have to cut and run pretty fast to avoid my spoon, and there's another advantage.

Unlike real lobsters, this one's immobile, so running, swimming or scuttling won't be a problem...

Aston Martin DB5

The plus ultra of James Bond’s automobiles, the Aston Martin DB5 was introduced in 1964’s Goldfinger, and came equipped with all the extras a spy could ask for—including rotating license plates, machine guns, a radarscope, and of course, an ejector seat. To show how far product placement in the movies has come, Aston Martin owner David Brown (the “DB” in DB5) originally asked the film’s producers to pay to use the car because he didn’t want to damage a £4,500 vehicle. Though destroyed in Goldfinger, the car lived more than once in Bond films—it most recently made a cheeky cameo in Casino Royale, when Daniel Craig’s 007 wins a 1963 Aston Martin DB5 in a poker game. The classic car also was appeared in the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall 2012.

This was at the works Newport Pagnell. A real replica of the Goldfinger DB5.
