Car Show

Kuwaiti people have a lot of time and an even larger amount of money.  So, we were not surprised to hear that a few guys got together, pooled some money, and brought an exhibit of cars from the James Bond films to Kuwait for a week.  That's right ... all it took was some phone calls to a variety of museums, securing a show-room in an upscale mall, and a few sponsors and BOOM -- James Bond in Kuwait.  Of course when we heard about "Bond in Kuwait" we put it on our "free fun to-do list" and quickly headed out to the swankiest of malls we have been in yet to check out the exhibit.

The exhibit was a great way to spend 15 minutes of our day.  Not only did we see a few cars from a few different Bond movies, we were also served fresh squeezed lemon-aid in cocktail glasses, given matching Aston Martin ball-caps, and encouraged to, "post, tweet, or blog about this so your friends come see the display."  Well, here you go Kuwaiti multi-millionaire men with too much time on your hands .... Blog complete!!

Yes, this car show was inside a mall.  However, outside the mall there were plenty of Aston Martins in the parking lot.

Adam was mortified to learn that Heidi has never fully seen one of the new Bond movies.  Nope, she stopped after Sean.

This was the car featured in Casino Royale.  It was crashed during the movie and they played the scene over and over by the car.  Heidi still could not figure out why men would pay a LOT of money to bring a crashed car to Kuwait.  Adam said she "missed the point."

Adam asked to sit in this car.  They said only with a tuxedo on.  Darn it!

Could you add this option if you wanted?  Electric windows.  Electric locks.  Hood guns?

All in all, it was a cool thing to check out and another great way to not spend any money!!
