100 Coolest Cars........

[Brown, Jon Brow]

...according to the fifth gear web site.

First is the Jaguar E-Type, which I don't think you can complain with. But their are a few oddballs on the list such as the new MINI at 4th and Toyota Prius at 13th (ahead of the Jaguar Mk2 and any Aston Martin :s )

My personal favourite though is my car at 43rd :D ahead of XJ220.

Any thoughts?






(seriously, do comment :rolleyes :)

[Zico]

The landrover is a great vehicle.. but is it a car?.. and is it really cool enough to merit 4th place? lol

My No1 from that list would have to be the Stratos... http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=601&featureid=751&pageid=1792 now that really is cool! My other favourites are the original GT40, the BMW CSL "Batmobile" and the Lancia Fulvia

Must have been voted by poll and posted on a Landrover forum methinks.. ;)

I definitely want a Grande now.

Checking for sarcasm ............... :erm: .............................processing........... .................................................. ..processing...................................... ....................... :s

[Brown, Jon Brow]

It's clear :)

Sadly I don't think they do an automatic.

[jim mcglinchey]

I dont do sarcasm Jon, and I've already said I like 'em.

Ahhhh a fellow Stratos fan :D It would be my number one car from the list also. I love seeing them in the historic class of rallies.

Personally though if I had the money to buy any of those cars, I'd but a Nissan Figaro. I've considered it before. Theres a great comnpany that will refit them to any standard you want, even pink.

What a crock of youknowhat?

How does a Volvo 740 get on there? How does a C3 Pluriel get on there and how does the new Mini get on there?

Surely this was voted on by a significant number of blind people who've never seen, heard, driven or even touched a car.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I think the Defender is on there because it is one of the only 4x4 that doesn't try hard to be a normal car.

It's too cool to take your kids to school in it ;)

I vote the Bowler Wildcat as one of the coolest cars :cool:

The Ford Ka sits on Top Gear's Cool Wall in the "Cool" section as well as coming 86th in Car Magazine's list.

A show hosted by anyone called Tiff sounds dubious at best. I think that the only way to decide this would be to send Clarkson and Tiff out with duelling pistols... who'd win? We all would :D

I'm terribly disappointed that the Hillman was omitted :down:

You are not alone schmenke.

[Daniel]

Oh yes he is :arrows: :angryfire

There's an old saying in Finland.

Parempi ilman ku Hillman.

The Stratos should be in 1st pos...end of the story :p :

Yes the new Stratos should be number 1

You always quote that.

Anyway, as ever the good old Defender is higher than high. I still have one :D
Sadly not a Bowler, but one day, one day ....... I will be a driving god :p :

[Hazell B]

Sorry, forgot the say what I came here to say, so extra posting now :rolleyes:

By accident we watched Fifth Gear the other week. It's trying to be what Top Gear used to be before the scripts and set-up Last of the Summer Wine days. I found myself crying laughing at Robins being tippled and raced. Brilliant.

Yes, Fifth Gear and 'brilliant' being used in the same breath. You heard it here first :p :

It's better than it was, but the presenters still aren't as good as Top Gear.

He keeps on quoting it because one day he too will believe it ;) :p

Good point. Will watch it again and make a more informed choice then, but I expect you've already said what's what. Swap VBH for James May and perhaps it would improve a lot :p :
