Spying Without Wing – 3 May 2007 WESTLIFE star Shane Filan is in 007 heaven - after getting his hands on a EUR130,000 James Bond car. The singer spent a fortune last week on an Aston Martin DB9, the same model used by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Sligo man Shane, 27, bought the motor, which boasts an aluminium 6.0-litre V12 engine, 450bhp and goes from nought to 100kph in just 4.9 seconds, to celebrate the end of Westlife's 50-date tour. Speaking backstage at the band's Point gig, Shane revealed: "It's one of the best cars I've ever driven - it's a real treat. "I have always dreamed of driving a Bond car and I finally got one last week. "We've had a fantastic sell-out tour and this was a treat as we come to the end of it." Westlife have always been famed for their love of flashy cars and with a combined fortune of around EUR48million they have the cash to indulge their tastes. Shane also once chartered a helicopter to help him travel around Ireland with ease. Credit/Source: Thanx Gitta at www.nishakimabry.de.vu
