James Bond and....Volvo?

James Bond celebrates 50 years of movie action this year with the latest movie "Skyfall". Of course, most people associate Bond with a silver Aston Martin, but there are a couple of Volvo connections with the history of 007.
The most recent connection was in the 2008 Bond film, "Quantum of Solace", in which Daniel Craig can be seen driving a Volvo S40 R-Design during a scene in Austria. It's a brief appearance, but a Volvo in a Bond film nonetheless.


Another connection is with Roger Moore, who has appeared as James Bond more than any other actor in the role. Prior to taking the role in 1972, Moore had appeared in the television series "The Saint". In that show, Moore's character drove a stunning Volvo P1800 coupe. So there you have it, 007 and Volvo share a connection...or a bond, if you will.

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate.

Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
