An r8 and a mclaren to represent the last twenty years? An mx5?

I don't see how that represents the worlds motoring history remotely unless you get your news from piston heads.

I appreciate your comments, how about submitting your selection....

Particularly liked the fact that it was uncovered as a crop.

The crop was done on purpose - ☺☺

I'm glad you found the hooklinesinker.
An idea that I've been churning in my mind for quite a while and decided to go for it & see where it went.
If you wish, let the cat out of the bag on the topic pages.
No offence meant to anybody, it was just a forum game.

Is it me... or have there been a several of this type of thread in the last year???

And why do we need yet another one?

Probably, should I ask the Mods to delete it?
