007 Makes a Splash

Aston-Martin used on the new James Bond flick unexpectedly tumbles into Italian lake

James Bond apparently prefers his Aston Martin's sunken, not stirred.

One of the iconic vehicles that was being used in the filming of the latest 007 flick, Quantum of Solace, unexpectedly tumbled into a northern Italian lake Saturday while being driven to the set.

The incident—which was not a stunt—resulted in minor injuries for the driver, major headaches for the film's insurer and good laughs for the viewing public.

Officials blame wet conditions and winding roads for the accident, but this reeks of a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. plot to us.
