    Yes, but Craig definitely starts saying something that begins with M as Judi cuts him off.

    I had to think for myself a minute to be honest. Don't tell anyone.

    Yeah I believe it was writing in a way so you wouldn't know. Teasing the audience. I believe Dame Judi has played two versions of M as under the Brosnan era here name comes up as Margaret but don't quote me on that.

    Although ironically the a-ha TLD music video did!

    What can I say? I've loved both Bond and cars since I was a wee lad. The two definitely cross over somewhat.

    Please say the Ford Fiesta. :D

    Both. For Bond cars for me DBS V12 from Casino stunning in the gun metal colour. Still baffled how many times they managed to roll that. Still a Guinness book of records record.

    For Bond cars, the V8 Vantage is pretty awesome to me. For regular cars probably the Jaguar F-Type. Although I will say that you shouldn't really ask me about this. It's so hard for me to pick a true favourite.

    Those F-Types are truly stunning. I like the DBS or a Continental GT in real life, but if someone were to give me a Bond car it couldn't not be a DB5. Worse case, I could always sell it and pick up something else and pocket the net ;)

    I love the look of the DB5 but from those have owned one they are a bumpy uncomfortable drive which puts me off it I had a choice of owning any car from the films.

    Understandable, although it wouldn't be enough to put me off one to be honest. It'd be nice to have one alongside something with a few more modern amenities to fill the collection out.
