    What was the coolest Q-built feature in James Bond's Aston DB5? Some would say the smokescreen, others the oilslick, still others the switchblade hubs. We've always been partial to the ejector seat. And if we'd had an extra 80 grand in weak-ass America bux against the B-pound, we'd have bid on this. It would look great on the Briggs and Stratton go-kart we've been eyeing.
