I could probably have 10 top 5's

But apart from the e-type I agree with what they say.

I am biased of course

I probably agree about the E-type - gorgeous, yes. More important than a Muira? Probably not.

I would also consider a 4WD car - probably the grandaddy - Audi Quattro - their last great car

No offense Trout but you do like to wave you **** about don't you.
Go out and enjoy the Porsche rather than flopping your member about on here!

1) F40
2) Nissan Skyline R34 GTR
3) Lambo Gallardo
4) F355
5) Honda Integra Type R DC2

Do they have to be fast?
What about great cars like the Defender and Range Rover (which admittedly can be fast)?
Or useful everlasting workhorses like the estate W123 Mercs?
Another list of "supercars" makes my eyes glaze over.

Anyway:

1) Land Rover Defender
2) BMW M5
3) C63 AMG C class estate
4) Lotus Elan (original)
5) Porker 993 turbo

Yeah right, like you didn't expect to have some abuse after showing off your new car and then showing everyone that your new is also in the top 5 cars ever list in some magazine.
Yes, there were no punctuation marks in there for a reason!

Come on, learn to take it.
Everyone knows the RS is a great car already.

Yeah, Know what you mean, I kind of like to limit it to stuff I may actually have some chance of owning someday or have actually driven !

Its funny, technically I could get something of that ilk but telling the missus and then sheepishly returning it to the dealers would be so embarassing

They do have what is probably THE most important car of the last century in that list.

It is simple, inexpensive, brilliant to drive, and British!

BTW Chris - evidence would suggest that no matter what I post about you will have a go. If I agitate your chip so much why bother reading my posts?

Well as I listed the Defender and have just washed mine (and the BM) here's a tiresome pic to deflect some flack away from Trout...!

I am glad the mini made it -- revolutionary engineering

and brought performance motoring to the masses

Monte Carlo rally winners (1st 2nd 3rd) in 1964 1965 1966 - awsome
