I don’t agree with alot of the pics, but when you are picking 100 cars, there are bound to be a few the slip through the cracks.

I wonder if this bsically means the list in order like it seems. Either that or they put 99 cars out there in random order then this is the one that won it all in votes. Screw the other cars.

It was based on reader votes. But more importantly, it is a British website/magazine, and those brits are a funny bunch.

And to those of you who say “fuck this list/car” just because it’s your #1 car doesn’t make it my #1 car
