James Bond movies are classics, but they also fall into another category: car porn. It's simply Bond's birthright to drive--and wreck--the kind of cars most men only get to test-drive during the obligatory midlife crisis. Let's face it; Bond's not going to settle for my grandma's Grand Marquis when he has an Aston-Martin collecting dust in the garage. If you've got an Aston-Martin, or a Bentley, Austin Mini, Rolls Royce or Triumph, show it off at the Spring British Car and Motorcycle Show from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the British Emporium, 140 N. Main St. in Grapevine. Call 817-421-2311 or sign up at british-emporium.com to reserve a spot for your classic British car or motorbike. Both admission and entry are free.
