MG Metro 6R4
Lola T70 Mk3 coupe
TVR Tuscan 'Challenge'
Lancia Stratos
Ferrari 250 GT SWB
BMW CSL 'Batmobile'
Pretty well any F5000 car
Jaguar XJ12C 'Broadspeed'


Aw, hell, that's 10 already. Damn! Gonna need a bigger allowance please?

Can't really argue with any of those, my friend......


But there are no Alfas.......


so I've got to replace the plastic fantastic 6R4 with say an Alfa GTAm, the F5000, which never floated my boat, with the BTCC Alfa 155, and agonise about whether a D-type is more meritorious than an XJ12C.....


Ah, shucks - there is never going to be a big enough number to accommodate the cars we love......
