I see Aston Martin is supplying ten special DB10 cars for the new James Bond movie, Spectra. Here in Cairo a car dealer has just been appointed sole distributor for the famous English marque of sports car. 'We wanted to provide increased choice for the Egyptian car enthusiast.' I'm sure they'll be delighted and line up to buy one with their wads of petrodollars. Not so sure what the man and his entire family perched on the back of the Cairo motorbike will say. 'Crap . . . pure crap,' to coin a phrase, perhaps. There's a spectra/um here all right and you wouldn't want to be at the wrong end of it.
