a bit late to the party, but it was not the only car nor a stunt driver.

Autocar really is quite good for a lot of things, even silly news like this.

Maybe Aston can write it off as R&D.

"I say Chauncey, do you think our new DBS will float?"
"Well Meriwether, let us find out shall we?"
"Brilliant idea Chauncey!"
2 hours later
"Well Meriwether, it would appear the answer to your query is a resounding No."
"I say Chauncey, I have never see a car sink so fast."

No Mr. Bond, we expect you to dry!
Having once driven in that area, I have to confess that it was extremely hard for me to keep my eyes on the road due to the magnificent scenery. Not to worry though, my rental VW would have floated.

Who thought of the name Quantum of Solace? Is that like a really small amount of comfort? I imagine the driver will receive a quantum of solace for this accident.

I think I saw a "weekend editor" (read: commenter) post this in one of our two weekend threads.

Looks pretty interesting, really. If that was the only car, was enough damage done that they have to make a whole new one, or are they going to hang that one out to dry?

Maybe if they just let it hang dry like that for a while, it'll be okay.
Or they could take it to Her Majesty's Secret Dry-Cleaning Service.

less marketable as a stunt driver

And 100x MORE marketable as a stunt performer. A 50' launch into water isn't exactly a soft landing.
