That go kart is amazing and I cant imagine that headache that building those engines and gearboxes would of caused

Okay, GTP Lego fans, it's time for the first GTP Lego Build-off of magnificent failure!
The contestants: Myself, @Danny, @haitch40
The entries:
The Live and Let Die inspired Propeller Gunboat
The Airplane
JetPony (Now EuroNCAP compliant thanks to some help from a certain engineering student)
The three together
So, GTP, which one is best?

If the plane had some kind of engine, any kind of engine, it'd be the winner, but it doesn't, so it's not.
The gun boat with no guns is just a safe, boring choice so it doesn't win either.
So, against my better judgment, the jetpony wins because it has a headless, and legless,horseponyman.

Go ahead! With your ruined credebility no one will belive you! I'd like to hear @Beeblebrox237 first before I make my decision.

The Gunboat is optimised for use in films or rich teenage fantasies. It's equipped with two powerful propellers that push it along the water at speeds of between "Oh, 🤬" and "Mother of God!". The dual forward firing 20 mm cannon allow it to destroy virtually anything in its path. The cockpit is fully enclosed and features first class seating for two and their beer. The design was inspired by the chase scene from the Bond film Live and Let Die, and is perfect for a role in an action film.
Also, JetPony needed 10 minutes of me adding structural support before it stopped falling apart.

Lasagne, anyone?
And you know that's not a lie, you just won't admit that you do't have my engineering prowess.
It was sturdy and reliable until you picked it up. Then your clumsy man-hands ruined it all.
The problem is (and this is true of our other lego endeavours) that you couldn't give a crap about aesthetics.

It has fans like a hovercraft rather than a propeller like a boat.
Well my entry is losing badly. Need to find a solution quickly. Erm, the other entries should be declared invalid on the count that the Lego store was the first thing we did and for a few minutes I actually thought "I just spent £15 and 2 hours on the train to go to a Lego store, brilliant".

No. Although the hovercraft stuff was just an awful attempt to get more votes.
