He also owned a D-type which is what I think it is... but you're right, it could be the XK-SS as well. I'd need to see it from a little further back to be certain.
We're both basically right since the XK-SS was a D-type variant.
Edit: you're right, it's the XK-SS... I missed the wipers/full windshield, only XK-SS had those.

Go ahead and substitute "Sean Connery" or "Pierce Brosnan" in place of "Roger Moore" if you wish.
I have the same problem here as I do with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan. Ryan isn't supposed to be a jarhead superhero who solves every problem by smashing things; he's a weasel- a shifty little bookworm who, despite a USMC commission, wound up teaching history and bilking the stock market on insider information. Alec Baldwin is Jack Ryan.
It's not that I don't like Craig as an actor, it's just that he's not James Bond. James Bond is a cavalier playboy who is reserved in his killing and treats women as a fungible commodity. Granted, there is a dark side to Bond, which Dalton's portrayal brought to light in a man who drinks to quiet the ghosts he has wrought. But Craig, well, he's just far too one-dimensional. There's no charm, no wit, no light-heartedness, just a gritty, angry man who seems to feel nothing at all.

This is the car that got me into turbochargers. I used to watch this every day while putting my car through it's overhaul.

That may well be the least cool car ever created by man.
It's an awesome piece of engineering, don't get me wrong. I'm sure it's probably wonderful to drive. But while the Dodge Viper and the Porsche GT3 merely announce to the world "I have a small *****", the Gumpert Apollo says "I was a band geek in high school, I wrote my doctoral thesis on Applications of Kinesin Motor Proteins and Microtubule Filaments, AND I have a small *****."

LOL...I used to room with this guy...he's in his second year of grad school, and I swear he was telling me about this the other day.
I should forward him the pic so he knows what to buy.

i'm at work, and the img link is broken for me, thus i didn't see it.
And really, if you own a Gumpert Apollo, you have some cash on hand. Do you really need a big dick?
Recent studies show that women prefer 6 1/2" to 7"
I figure if I have a million dollor car, that should add at least 3"
