Bond is an able amateur sportsman, particularly at skiing, golf and hand-to-hand combat, the last being the subject of his book-in-progress, Stand Firm. He rode the Cresta Run from Top. He has few possessions but they are fine: a wide, flat gun-metal cigarette case; a black oxidized Ronson lighter; and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch. Contrary to the films, Bond prefers Bentleys; in order, he drives a 1930 (or 1933) Mark IV convertible, a 1953 Mark VI and a Mark II Continental, all of them grey with navy or black interior. He occasionally dines at the London club Blades (modelled after Boodle's).
