    How "bout some dream teams for each country? Like pick your 5 dream American cars or Japanese or German etc, each member could choose the team for their nation. If a members nation doesn't have any manufacturers or their selections are very limited then they could go to their closest neighbor. My American Dream Team:

    1. Shelby Cobra 289/427
    2. Ford GT40 (Mk I, II or IV)
    3. Ford Mustang Boss 302
    4. Saleen S7
    5. Dodge Viper GTS

    Just for fun I'd have the C3 Corvette L88 off the bench

    Surely an Hispano-Suiza would feature in there somewhere...

    Life's too short to drive bad cars.
