If so, on his car (which I believe was called the Mach 5), there were several gadgets that he controlled from several buttons on the steering wheel. Does anyone here remember how many buttons there were and exactly what gadget each button controlled?

This was part of a trivia quiz I was given from a friend of mines that has been driving me crazy. For those that know, any help would be greatly appreciated :@@:

I can't tell you which button does what, or how many there were, but...

One button made saw blades extend from the front...

One button extended some pistons underneath the car to make it leap through the air...

One button made treads wrap around the wheels and the car could climb a cliff...

I think one button sealed the passenger compartment and allowed the thing to go under water....

Thats from memory, and I cannot vouch for its accuracy. :-)

There was another button that released the mechanical bird, for spying or to get a message out.

Here is a link to the official web site description of the Mach 5.

They say there were seven buttons, and list the functions.
