Bob Blackwood, the amazing Everything I Know About Life I Learned from James Bond, and John Flynn

On Saturday, November 26, author John Flynn will be speaking with James Bond fans and autographing his new book, co-authored with Bob Blackwood, Everything I Know About Life I Learned from James Bond at the Dezer OO7 Car Collection in Miami, Florida [website: http://www.dezercollection.com/museums/james-bond-museum/ ].

He will be doing a 30-minute lecture about the Bond Book, primarily focusing on the cars and gadgets. Part One will be about the Aston Martin legacy of James Bond cars, starting with the Aston Martin DB-5 from Goldfinger. The museum has the DB-5, and four other Aston Martins from the films. Then he will touch on the Lotus Esprit and finally the BMW cars. Part Two will shift over to some of the gadgets. Flynn owns one of the Golden Guns from The Man with the Golden Gun—the museum has one of them, too—and he will demonstrate how it worked in the film. Then the discussion will move to some of the other famous gadgets, including the attaché case, Bond’s exploding pen, the Walther PPK, and other items. The museum is open to the public for a modest fee (see website), and all are welcome to see the cars and participate in the event.
