Motor Culture Bond Girls Galore On Display In "Bond In Motion" Petersen Museum Exhibit
This month, the long delayed and anticipated 25th edition of the 007 Bond feature length movie series "No Time To Die" was released to be shown in theaters only opened on Friday, October 8th, 2021. The worldwide opening came to a very successful $330,000,000 box office weekend and marked the end of the Daniel Craig era of the 007 Bond saga.
Just one week in advance of this 25th film in the series was released, the Petersen Automotive Museum opened a new exhibit of the 007 Bond movie franchise titled "Bond In Motion" which features more than 30 cars, motorcycles, boats, submarines, helicopters and even scale filming models of aircraft from an array of both classic and contemporary Bond films. This exhibit represents some of the most memorable and indelible 3D vehicle art that, in their own way, delivered "Bond, James Bond" through motor culture creations (some custom, and some just perfect for the time of Bond) as strong as the story lines themselves.

This exhibit is impressive on many levels, from the detail of the exhibit descriptions to the general display throughout the environment itself. One of the initial exhibits upon entering the hall that will command one's attention is the Bond defining 007 gun-enhanced graphic (above) placed in a two-story three-dimensional exhibit in the middle of the signature circular staircase that is a defining structural element of the Mullin Grand Salon.
As one might guess, an Aston Martin, especially a DB5, is never too far from one's gaze. The very first vehicle happens to be just that - a perfect DB5 in every way as shown in many of the 007 Bond films as a reoccurring friend - even in the last No Time To Die installment.
But enough about the easy hits ... what about the "Nellie" factor? A vehicle title that shows up twice - one is an up armored. assemble on demand, aircraft and the other is a luxury sports car that doubles as a submarine.
LITTLE NELLIE

Little Nellie (Wallis WA-116 Series 1) - Featured in You Only Live Twice (1967). A heavily armed gyrocopter that could be transported in several cases and quickly assembled in the field. Little Nellie, was designed and built by Wing Commander Ken Wallis and flown by him in the film, is one of the most celebrated vehicles in the James Bond series. In the film, James Bond uses the autogyro, supplied by Q Branch, to give reconnaissance of the Japanese landscape to find out where SPECTRE’s rockets might be launching from. A cine-camera fixed to Bond's helmet allowed him to photograph every inch. Image Credit Edmund Jenks (2012) |

Democratic Agenda For 2020 & Beyond: Pat Lynch - President NYC Police
Benevolent Association
Democrats are working toward an intended consequence that amounts to a
hijacking of our criminal justice systems that had worked very well at
assuring safety for citizens and working families everywhere.
In
city after city, the Democrats have passed laws and implemented policies that
do not recognize theft, that eliminate cash bail and promises to appear,
restrict the powers of policing, and empty our jails. District Attorneys do
not prosecute cases at the level they once did to keep criminals in check in
an effort to create more put-upon victims so that Democrats have a base of
potential voters to groom for their own path to power.
The chaos we have been seeing grow in our communities isn't a side effect, it
is the goal. Unchecked illegal immigration, Sanctuary City policies,
non-enforcement of vagrancy laws through transference from policing to city
staffed social worker agencies (who stay in their air-conditioned offices),
COVID-19 mass releasing of guilty known criminals from prisons and jails
before their sentences are fully served (when Shelter-At-Home and Masks are
required through governmental edict for everyday law abiding citizens), road
and street "diets" imposed without a vote from citizens by city bureaucrats
which impede and slow the pursuits of happiness and commerce on once major
boulevard arteries, all intended to create a less than best practices impaired
society Democrat political leaders can run on.
To be clear, Patrick
Lynch, President of NYPD’s Police Benevolent Association, stated it best in
his presentation during the final day of the Republican National Convention -
“Democratic politicians have surrendered our streets and our institutions. I
have been a New York City police officer for 36 years…I’ve never seen our
streets go this bad so quickly.”
“Unlike the Democrats, who froze
in the face of rioting and looting, President Trump matches his words with his
actions,” Mr. Lynch said. “He gives law enforcement the support and the tools
we need to go out there and put a stop to it - period, end of story.”
We, at MAXINE, wish to get our America and American Culture back where people are safe, have a criminal justice system that works as intended (keeping convicted criminals housed and in check), and operates peacefully under the full rights as guaranteed by God, not decreed by Government, as laid out in our country's founding documents - where people/individuals have more power than Government ... in the end.
As in the final comments made by Patrick Lynch - Joe Biden's, Kamala Harris', and the Democrat Political Party's America Equals "No Safety, No Justice, No Peace!"
