Hmmm
4,5,10,15,16,17,19 & 20 are cack, I've driven a couple and wouldn't want to drive any.
2,6,7&11 are irrelevant expensive exotica, no interest in driving a car I wouldn't want to, or couldn't, own.
3,9,14&18 I've driven and enjoyed.
1,8,10&13 are on my pending list but all close to being grouped with above(ie irrelevant).

Unfortunately, the Murcielago or 575 Maranello are not on my list.
Have owned 3 of them.

Have owned two and been a passenger in 12 of them so not bad. I think I would add the RS200 to the list - the most bonkers road car I've ever been in

Bizzare list - Elise Mk 1 is specific, but any Golf GTI will do ?
Merc S55 rather than the SL55 ?
Tend to agree that it's somwhat arbritary.......we all have our own top 20.

Owned 3 (Golf, 205, Impreza), driven 8 (add Caterham, 911, Elise, Range Rover & Beetle).
Why the hell anyone would want to drive a Beetle is beyond me.
