I still love those Volvo P1800's and watch The Saint in reruns. Stand Up Guy, he did a lot of charity work for UNICEF.

Roger Moore was a superb actor and was good in the Bond films. However there was only one James Bond, and it was Sean Connery. I think most Women of Connery's era in the Bond films would agree.....

If you get a chance to watch it, his movie ffolkes was quite a side road from Bond and quite good for the time it was filmed.

I agree but I've always thought that Moore was just too old for Bond. If he'd played Bond at the age he did The Saint he could very well have been the best Bond...

He certainly was. In the Top Gear 50 Years of Bond Cars, Roger Moore said his favorite Bond car was the Citroen because it was so quirky. I considered an Esprit when I was deciding what to buy this time around. Love the P1800 as well, but decided to go with the Porsche. Never missed a Bond film, but I think he was at his best in The Saint. Thanks Roger for all the great memories!
