Would you rather own a Faberge egg OR a Stradivarius cello?

    Audi, of course.

    I'll take the Audi as I like big cars.

    Audi too for me, very classy, and I'm also fond of European cars, the design was also a bit close to some of the expensive sports cars in that era along with Aston Martin.

    I'll go with the flow here and choose Audi. As far as I unerstand they have amazing handling characteristics. I don't really like the look of the hornet at all I'm afraid. If I'd have to do a barrelroll, however...

    I'm not the biggest Audi person, but their 80's models I quite like, so Audi for me too.

    I thought the Hornet looked great until I saw it side on, and realized the back wheel looks too far back. Bring those rears wheels half a wheel's length forward, and it'd look much better to me. Similar thing with the Corvorado, back wheel's too far forward.

    Quattro for the win.

    I love German cars but this time I pick the Hornet since I prefer its rounded shape to the Audi’s angular appearance.

    Lets take to the waters and see which one you would prefer to pilot

    Would you rather bomb around the lake on the Q boat OR sail with the boat from NTTD?

    This is sleek, full of defensive and offensive surprises. This Q boat will allow you to speed up and take control, even going underwater when needed.

    Go for a sail out on the open water! Take the yacht from NTTD and see if you can catch some fish out and about in the ocean.

    So which one are you taking out for a spin or sail?

    Sail. Always. I don't see the allure of motor boats. Sailing is beauty and nature and quiet...and you're arguably even safer on a decent sailing yacht than on any motor boat if a storm comes.

    The Q boat. I'm just gonna go bombing around in it.

    I'm a solid Brosnan fan & I *hate* NTTD, but that boat is nice... so sailing it is.

    Q-Boat - just so I can recreate the bow tie-adjustment.

    I'm a TWINE defender, but sailing is such a beautiful thing so I'll go for that one...

    A boat for one, or a boat for a few.
    I’ll take the sailing boat. At least I’d have some company.

    Great fun moment! I think that is a cool reason.

    I’d definitely go out fishing and relaxing in Jamaica on the Happenstance, so that!

    Q Boat would be good for work trips as I live next to a river that runs through my city 🤣

    Great stuff! Thanks for your wonderful answers on two sea worthy vessels.

    I was thinking that there are a few jobs within Mi6 that might be fun to do. Wondered if you would consider employment with the firm.

    Would you rather work in Q branch OR be a Station Head?

    Work developing the latest tech for the field. A creative boss who appreciates the details and treats each gadget with tender care. You get to wear a lap coat and try out some of the inventions before they are used out in the field. It is likely a Monday to Friday job.

    OR

    Work out in an exotic land. you have a team of agents and sources working for you. you are likely going to be connected to law enforcement, politicians and industry leaders. you get to set up shop with a legitimate business front or maybe this will be your main gig.

    Which job appeals to you more? Where would you rather work?

    Is that really what it's called? I didn't know that, what a great little touch.

    That is what it’s called in the final script. I dont believe the name appears in the film.

    Okay that didn't get much of a response.

    Lets try this one!

    Would you rather pilot the Acrostar from OP OR the folded glider from NTTD?

    Highly agile, able to fit inside the ass of a horse, ah sorry the horse trailer. Added bonus it takes unleaded fuel.

    OR

    Giant wing span, fits two people! Bonus that it fits into the back end of a plane. Also able to convert to a submersible vehicle.

    Which one are you taken for a fly by!?

    Jet Nellie!

    The acrostar jet.
    It’s super cool, even today. Much better than the glider.

    I like the glider as it can go underwater, but the jet is a jet and goes way faster, so it’s got to be that.

    The glider is a disposable one-use gadget. The Acrostar is reusable. So the latter.

    Yeah, I agree.

    Here's a question I can get behind! The glider is lovely-looking, more environmentally friendly and probably a lot safer, but it is inexorably drawn earthwards, and you can't do stunts in them. So it would have to be the Acrostar.

    Is the NTTD glider a single use, one-and-done flight?
