Not a list of the top cars in the world, but my personal list of cars i like that I have either owned, thought about owning or dreamed about owning both in the past and in the present.
The list does not include any custom cars/hot rods/one offs, as much as I like them. The list is a mix of both cheap and expensive cars that I have liked or do like and have stuck in my head for one reason or another (many from memories of cars I admired and fantasized about as a kid (Ok and even now!). There are many more cars I like, but the cars below are the ones that come to my mind for various reasons.
For me it's not just about outright performance, it's about car charisma, the car characteristics (I like most of them to be plain and simple, man and machine).
The list is in alphabetical order and in most cases I haven't named a specific model. There is only one image with each car listed, which obviously does not necessarily cover all the models to the years I have noted.
