    All you need is an airline running from the air pump and an apple green overall clad bunch leap from the support coach formula one style!

    How about rotating name plates, like James Bond rotating numberplates?

    Hmm so as soon as it crosses the Tamar it could be Duke of Cornwall with just a mere flick of a switch? Gets my vote! Where will you fit the twin machine guns though? ;)

    I believe the A1SLT plan to build a K3 after the V4 & V3.

    Personally would rather see the K3 built first.

    I feel the same way, but a K3 is a long, long way off. A bit too far off for me!

    I think the V4 should be named after a wild animal. How about "Prairie Dog"?

    ;)

    Machine guns hidden behind the train lamps I reckon.

    What about the ejector seat though...???

    If as per the original DB5 then it would be the firemans side, if however as per the latest incantation DB10 from 'Spectre' then it would be the drivers seat, now there's a scary thought...

    How about some sort of smoke producing machine so that you can make an unseen getaway?

    Oh, wait...:Imwithstupid:

    Apart from the smoke, surely unseen getaways would be dependent on the weather (fog, rain, snow) or if it was dark.

    Quick getaways on the other hand would depend on the experience of the crew and cooperation of control.

    It’s like if you want to hide on a building site, you need to don a hi-vis jacket.

    Having seen the suggestions for 3403 names in this thread, I hope that none of the participants find themselves on the naming committee. :)

    3402 was officially unnamed, and though a careful selection of a name can be useful when it comes to the fund raising process, for the projected 3403 the reputation and abilities of the Trust should be so well established and cemented that a name is not required.
    So next on to the "paint froth"..............
