Quantom of Solace

Watched it today and was mighty impressed with the Italian Police Defender that was keeping up with an Alfa 159 3.2 V6 and Aston Martin (haven't a clue which one as I can never tell them apart). Also watching the Defender crash out down the hill after raking a building out gave me real confidence in the wafer thin A-pillars ability to withstand a serious pounding

Whereas the Aston and Alfa had to handbrake it round the quarries hair-pin bends the Defender just 'appeared'.

Having said that I do fancy a 159 2.4JTD

Harvey, Italian cars are like Italian women...they look and go great till they have a few miles on the clock then it all goes horribly wrong

The curtain sided whose bumper pulled the Aston's door off or the skip truck who took an Alfa out head on?
