Don't usually go for the "50 most interesting cars" but
 
R&T 50 Coolest cars... I clicked on the article expecting to disagree with some of their choices... I was pleasantly surprised with the list:

51 Coolest Cars of the Last 50 years - Special Feature

Note these are their choices for coolest car and nothing more.

R&T have their Mojo back. Sam Smith and Larry Webster are doing a great job with it.
The mag used to be a bore of the first order save for Peter Egan (Patrick Hong could have written about Charlize Theron's bedroom fantasies and still put me to sleep) - now it's truly about road and track, great photography and writing, classic cars galore, race cars... Sam smith gets it... R&T and Panorama came back from the brink, which makes up for the slow decay of Excellence and Roundel ;-(

The latest issue on Singer cars, slightly sideways at the entrance of the corkscrew? I'd buy the posters if they made them...

I own one of them...

One of the first cars was the "Ferrari" Dino....those are damn good looking cars. I always wondered why they were so looked down upon, but I guess some of those Ferrari guys really have to have that name on the car, preferably in multiple spots. I just wish I would have been financially able to buy one years ago as they seem to have come around.

You might be right, I hope anyway. I picked up the Singer issue at the aiport and was surprised in that I nearly read every article. I dropped it shortly before Egan left.

Half of the crap on that list I wouldn't look at twice let alone put them in the "coolest" cars of the last fifty years. No Miura, 250 California, Lotus 38 or 72. The 911 RS, IROC, 935 and many others that could easily top the two Mazda's, Saab, Citrone, C6, Cadillac. Has a car ever been built that represented cool more than this?

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1435834801.jpg and it didn't make the list?

I saw this list a couple of days ago - it is a very good list although I could take exception with a few. The top 10 cars have appeared on other "lists" as well.
