Mycroft, I remember you rating cars not so long ago... now what was your comment...
not to be taken too seriously as that would make you rather ****...
Hmmm strangely appropriate. Lighten up fella, it's only a TV show, don't take it so serious

Of course, in the absence of a Soarer or a Scoob on the list, the Macca would have to get my vote, but I can't be ar5ed wasting ten seconds of my life voting for that when I can waste so many more hours on this website

My top car of all time is the new Bugatti, which, like the F1, I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever.

They're all different and have their pros and cons. I don't see the need to put them into a list. Can't they think of anything more interesting to do?

The only one I've ever had\driven is the Landy, so my vote has to go to that.

Loved Murray in the F1...was he excited or was it my imagination?

The rest of the list is a real curate's egg. What are the London taxi and Fiat 500 doing there? With Clarkson having something to do with it, I'm surprised that the world's ugliest car isn't on there (Fiat Multipla).

Top Gear used to be decent. It's just tripe now.

Nice list Makalu, scarily close to mine, though i'd *have* to find room for a Boss Mustang, and possibly an RS6 to bring it right up to date.

But what's with the Autoglym bit? How could you spoil cars such as those with a cheap, dry-to-white mediocre polish such as that..??

Missed the show, but of the above I'm torn between the DS (so much tech) and the Quattro (good usuable application of 4wd that still stands up today 20 years on)...

Question

Oh and wouldn't Murray have waxed lyrical on the Fiat 500 (isn't he a big fan?)

Some good choices in there that most of us wouldn't consider, IMHO. Most notably:
Black Cab (what a car -- tiny turning circle and I still maintain there's nothing quicker 0-30)
Fiat 500 (MCC Smart ahead of its time)
Citroen DS (so far ahead of its contemporaries -- **** like the Ford Anglia -- it's unreal. Suspension adjusted to the weight of the fuel put in, headlights turned with the steering, etc.)

PS: Surely the Toyota Soarer must be top of the bunch? Perhaps that's why there are only 9 -- they wanted to include the Soarer but thought we plebs in the UK wouldn't have heard of it

As a motoring presenter, I think Clarkson makes a very good rat catcher
