Top 5 Classic James Bond Cars

The latest Bond car for the film "Quantum of Solace" is the Aston Martin DBS. Low-profile 20inch car tyres, smooth lines and curves, flared wheel arches and an overstated front grill; it is the epitomy of British cool with which to save the world.

The Aston Martin's 6.0-litre V12 engine has a distinctive throaty roar that is capable of 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 191mph.

This has to rate as one of Bond's best looking cars but to compare I have compiled a list of 5 other classic Bond cars:

1) Recently voted the most iconic car of all time, the Aston Martin DB5 appeared in 'Thunderball', 'Goldfinger' and more recently 'Casino Royal'.

It was originally introduced in 1963. Its film debut was in the 1964 Goldfinger, starring alongside Sean Connery. Its distinctive silver livery, streamlined bodywork and large front grill was new for its time.

However the aesthetically pleasing body hid a vast array of lethal surprises to confound even the most troublesome of Bond's enemies. You may remember a scene in Goldfinger where one rear brake light spurted oil onto the road. And the other released triple-spiked nails to burst the car tyres of the pursuing villains.

Other clever features devised by Q included a revolving licence plate, an exhaust that expelled smoke-screen canisters and wheel hubs that revealed knives to slash car tyres.

2) The white Lotus Elite used by Roger Moore in 1977 'The Spy Who Loved Me' surprised everyone with its ability to be driven underwater.

In an attempt to escape a pursuing helicopter the Lotus was driven off a pier into the sea. At the time you would have thought this was the end for the car. But with typical Bond creativity the car tyres retract and it was transformed into an operational submarine, complete with fins and a periscope. The persistent helicopter soon meets its demise with a missile fired from the car beneath the water.

3) The 1987 film 'The Living Daylights' saw a return to the Aston Martin. This Aston Martin V8 had a powerful engine to compliment its macho looks. It used a fuel injection system that replaced carburetion. Due to the compact nature of this new technology the car could be designed with a flat bonnet, unlike the curved bonnets of its predecessors.

As with any Bond car there were a number of clever additions including self retractable spikes in the car tyres for extra grip on icy surfaces, lasers behind the front hubcaps and missile launchers behind the headlights.

4) It was bold move not to use a British manufactured car in the 1999 'The World Is Not Enough' but BMW Z8 soon won over the Bond fan. Its retro styling and red leather interior was backed up by a 400-horsepower V8 engine that had a top speed of 158mph.

Hidden accessories included missile launchers in the side vents and a windscreen that displayed important data. The car could be operated remotely using the key chain.

5) The Aston Martin was back in the 2002 'Die Another Day' starring Pierce Brosnan. This time it was the V12 Vanquish, sometimes referred to as 'a DB9 on steroids'.

The classic styled V12 nearly met its match when confronted with the villain's Jaguar XKR. But the front mounted Gatling gun, rocket launchers in the doors and bombs in the boot soon put paid to that.

Two other clever features, which eventually won the battle for Bond, were the car's ability to become invisible and the spikes hidden in the car tyres. The latter helped the car drive up an ice wall to avoid the fast approaching enemy, causing the Jaguar to have a unceremonious demise at the bottom of a lake.

As wonderful as the Bond cars are, thankfully features like spikes in car tyres have not become common place on our modern vehicles. If they ever do be sure to consult a specialist before changing a punctured car tyre.

Trulia.com and Placecast Partner to Increase Relevance of Ads With Audience Targeting and Dynamic Messaging : Real Estate Site Offers Advertisers Specifically Targeted Placements and Valuable Returns Using Placecast's Location-Based Ad Targetin

Trulia.com and Placecast Partner to Increase Relevance of Ads With Audience Targeting and Dynamic Messaging

Real Estate Site Offers Advertisers Specifically Targeted Placements and Valuable Returns Using Placecast’s Location-Based Ad Targeting

SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 19, 2008 -- As advertisers and publishers seek ways to improve performance to compensate for shrinking budgets, new technologies like location-based advertising provide a means of improving relevance and response rates. Today, leading real estate site, Trulia.com, and interactive media company, 1020 Placecast, have announced their partnership, using location information to target specific audiences for advertisers and deliver more relevant messages to them on Trulia.com.

Once we know the place a user is interested in, we can derive a lot of useful insights about what kind of consumer they are, and then serve them a very targeted ad

Turning locations into audiences is one of the biggest challenges facing advertisers today

Trulia presents advertisers with multiple opportunities to serve very targeted ads based on location and consumers' search behavior. Placecast is a cutting edge media company and we are excited to be working with them and their clients to build and deliver successful campaigns.

Agencies and advertisers are really searching for ways to stretch their marketing dollars these days

As an emerging technology capable of driving better performance, Placecast provides an ideal way to effectively target audiences and improve response rates by adding local relevance to national campaigns.

Placecast adds a new dimension to audience targeting by using location information as the key to relevance. In Trulia’s case, the starting points are the real estate locations in which users express interest. Placecast’s proprietary targeting algorithms correlate these with dozens of other demographic, psychographic and geographic data points.

“Once we know the place a user is interested in, we can derive a lot of useful insights about what kind of consumer they are, and then serve them a very targeted ad,” said Alistair Goodman, CEO of Placecast.

For publishers in categories such as travel, events, tickets, real estate, weather, classifieds and career search, Placecast uses the location information already present on these sites to target audiences and customize messaging. Improved performance results in a dramatic increase in the value of ad inventory for advertisers, transforming remnant ad space into premium CPM real estate for publishers.

“Turning locations into audiences is one of the biggest challenges facing advertisers today,” said Sean Black, Vice President of Sales at Trulia. “Trulia presents advertisers with multiple opportunities to serve very targeted ads based on location and consumers’ search behavior. Placecast is a cutting edge media company and we are excited to be working with them and their clients to build and deliver successful campaigns.”

One of the first advertisers to take advantage of this approach with Placecast and Trulia is leading car rental brand, Avis-Budget. Approximately halfway through a three-month campaign, Avis has seen its ads on Trulia perform strongly relative to other publishers. The Avis-Budget campaign is just the first of many in the expanded partnership between Trulia and Placecast.

“Agencies and advertisers are really searching for ways to stretch their marketing dollars these days,” observed Goodman. “As an emerging technology capable of driving better performance, Placecast provides an ideal way to effectively target audiences and improve response rates by adding local relevance to national campaigns.”

RVCoversNMore.com Finds the 'N More' in New Tire Monitoring Systems

RVs are a strong part of Mike Conrad's life; so much so, that when he started his business, he went with what he knew - RV accessories. Now his site, RVCoversNMore.com is one of the best online resources for RV covers and soon, Conrad will add tire monitoring systems to his catalog.

Royal Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 -- Longtime recreational vehicle (RV) user, Mike Conrad, built his business on helping other RV enthusiasts find the proper accessories for their RVs by offering some of the most affordable and high quality RV covers on the market.

"I have been driving RVs myself for 20 years," recalled Conrad. "When I started this business, I did research on the different covers that were available. I really wanted to look for the best products at the best prices. It's an expensive investment and it needs to be preserved well"

I have been driving RVs myself for 20 years

When I started this business, I did research on the different covers that were available. I really wanted to look for the best products at the best prices. It's an expensive investment and it needs to be preserved well

I'll be adding tire monitoring systems

Some of the newer cars have sensors in the wheels, so if your pressure gets too low, you'll hear a sound or see a visual warning on the dashboard. It can detect up to 12 tires. It also lets you know if you have a flat. It's remarkably helpful, especially if you're towing.

Sometimes, people don't even know they have flats on the cars that they're towing until they get to rest areas. This will increase the safety precautions we need to take as RV drivers

I'll have RV tips on the blog, as well as on the site

This will be a great way for seasoned RV'ers and novice RV'ers to exchange ideas. I'll also have reviews of some of the items on my site, as well as linked sites for better service and added value.

If a product is wrong or defective, we'll make it right!

When Conrad was ready, he launched www.RVCoversNMore.com in the spring of 2008. Having spent time developing his product line, the site immediately had a respectable cache of items - covers for the RV, trailers, tires, even windshields. As the new site continues to gain traction, Conrad will check out potential new products himself, such as the case with the latest coup for his site:

"I'll be adding tire monitoring systems," said Conrad. "Some of the newer cars have sensors in the wheels, so if your pressure gets too low, you'll hear a sound or see a visual warning on the dashboard. It can detect up to 12 tires. It also lets you know if you have a flat. It's remarkably helpful, especially if you're towing."

With the new tire monitoring systems, Conrad hopes that this will allow RV drivers to be alert. "Sometimes, people don't even know they have flats on the cars that they're towing until they get to rest areas. This will increase the safety precautions we need to take as RV drivers," explained Conrad.

Conrad has also added a new blog, www.MotorHomeNRVCovers.com, to his site. "I'll have RV tips on the blog, as well as on the site," he said. "This will be a great way for seasoned RV'ers and novice RV'ers to exchange ideas. I'll also have reviews of some of the items on my site, as well as linked sites for better service and added value."

Conrad has also extended his friendly demeanor to the customer service policy of his site: "If a product is wrong or defective, we'll make it right!"

In the wide open road, it's good to have someone like Mike Conrad on your side; not only does he care about the proper care of RVs, but he also cares about the safety of other drivers.

RV Covers N More was founded by Mike Conrad. The company sells a variety of RV covers and accessories.

www.OurRaceCar.com Invites Fans to Buy a Share In a Race Car

www.OurRaceCar.com Launched on October 18, 2008 invites fans to become more than just spectators.

Winnipeg, MB, Canada (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 19, 2008 -- North America's first mass co-operative initiative to acquire and run a Motor Sport operation, OurRaceCar.com, celebrated its first month of operations today. The website invites auto racing enthusiasts to become more than just spectators. Modeled after a British website that used mass co-operative ownership to acquire a soccer team, OurRaceCar.com aims to leverage its Internet presence to attract 20,000 members to start North America's first co-operatively owned race car.

Company Logo

After registering, every member will have the opportunity to vote on how the race car is managed. Members will be solicited for their opinions on important issues such as what series to buy into, for example NASCAR or Rolex Grand-AM, who to hire as the driver, what racing strategy to use, etc. A 51% majority will be required to make any decision final.

It's an exciting time to get into this model of ownership on the ground level

Websites like this are becoming very popular but their reach so far has been limited to soccer and basketball, and mainly in Europe.

Think of 20,000 A.J Foyts or Roger Penskes

Jesse Jarjour, the website's owner, says OurRaceCar.com will operate as a co-operative. "After registering, every member will have the opportunity to vote on how the race car is managed. Members will be solicited for their opinions on important issues such as what series to buy into, for example NASCAR or Rolex Grand-AM, who to hire as the driver, what racing strategy to use, etc. A 51% majority will be required to make any decision final."

Additionally, the Board of Directors will be comprised of three members chosen by their peers. These three directors will work with the team manager and Mr. Jarjour to ensure that member interests are fairly represented.

"It's an exciting time to get into this model of ownership on the ground level," says Mr. Jarjour. "Websites like this are becoming very popular but their reach so far has been limited to soccer and basketball, and mainly in Europe."

Mr. Jarjour believes that North American racing fans are passionate enough to make the website a success.

"Think of 20,000 A.J Foyts or Roger Penskes," said Mr. Jarjour.

An OurRaceCar.com membership costs $50 U.S., and is divided 80/20, with $40 going towards the creation and operation of The OurRaceCar.com Racing Team. The balance goes toward website maintenance and development.

The automotive floor mat manufacturer supplies many top automotive brands including Toyota, Honda, BMW, and Mercedes.

GG Bailey Custom Car Mats

Every other aftermarket mat is printed, which is of lower quality. GG Bailey.com Car Couture mats are woven, which is the same quality of in high end designer carpet and with polyproprelene fiber for stain and wear resistance

The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch.

The award was presented at Toyota Motor Sales' yearly supplier award ceremony on September 17, 2008 in San Diego, California. In a male-dominated business, GGBailey.com is run by two women, Ginger Bailey and her daughter Emily.

Racemark was selling to wholesalers but had trouble connecting directly to the consumer. When the Internet made that easier, GGBailey.com was launched. With the new site, what started out as a sports car accessory was available to a mass market. This greatly expanded the creativity and choices they could offer to consumers.

Through their web site's Design Your Car Mats™ anyone can design a solid color floor mat. Customers can choose from many types of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) quality carpet, edging, and heel pad designs. Each mat can also be embroidered with a logo or monogram. There are over 200,000 possible design combinations. With their custom fit car floor mats, a floor mat can be made to fit any car make or model.

Pink is one of the most popular colors for car mats. The company recognized breast cancer awareness month in October but all year GG Bailey donates 10% of each order that has pink carpet, pink surging, pink heel pad, pink embroidery or a Pink Ribbon logo to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Ordering a custom car mat is an easy and quick process - a process that used to take weeks. Floor mats designed on the web site are manufactured in two business days. Materials used include luxury weight carpet and OEM quality backing that is specially engineered to keep mats from slipping.

In addition, the company offers Car Couture floor mats which come in leopard, oriental, plaid, and camouflage designs. The designs are woven carpet rather than printed onto it. "Every other aftermarket mat is printed, which is of lower quality. GG Bailey.com Car Couture mats are woven, which is the same quality of in high end designer carpet and with polyproprelene fiber for stain and wear resistance," said Ginger.

GG Bailey was recently featured in a story for the local paper "The Business Review." The mother-daughter team was also interviewed on the television show "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch." A taping of the show can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=719Z44w917M
