Having  looked at the complete list, it's clear the person/people who 
compiled it  probably weren't even born when the cars were available - and 
I'm talking  20 years ago and less.

But it's the usual sensationalist ill-informed  and unsubstantiated claptrap 
that comes out of most the so-called  journalism we're served up with these 
days - wherever we  live.



When he attacks the MGA Twin Cam....he mentions that he has an MGA  that he 
restored himself.  I think he wrote the work to fit Time magazine  reader 
demographics, so he makes fun of anyone who is not a tree hugging, middle  class 
(well, rich but ashamed of it) Prius driver.

As he stared at her ample  bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage  Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of  the intake manifold, aching for experienced 
hands, the small knurled caps of the  oil dampeners begging to be inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter  seven of the shop manual.
