Morning, car enthusiasts! Mini-Herm has stepped in to help his old man out for Week M, so, following on from his fine selection for Week L, see what you make of the following: Mclaren F1First up is the fast one. Mclaren say the F1, for many, is "the greatest supercar ever built." Mini-Herm just tells me it's "pretty epic" and he always chastises me when a Mclaren goes past on the way home from school and I've asked "Is that a Lambo?" (I truly know nothing about cars!) Messerschmitt KR200
Who needs speed (or even 4 wheels) though? Maybe you're into 3-wheeled bubble car. If so this might be for you. MiniNow, I'm not sure which is the 'right' mini model to be putting forward but I think Mini-Herm is picturing the early inconic ones and not some modern version. 60s invasion type thing... does that stir up great pride in ya? Well, does it?! Well - get voting!

The McLaren F1 oozes excellence, the Messerschmitt oozes eccentricity, but in my opinion the Mini's everlasting appeal wins it for me! For clarity, I'm referring to the original, not that obscene BMW 'orange gob' remake that looks like it's had too much bloody Botox!
My Dad had two when I was a kid, one standard and one Clubman. The latter of which was regularly used for trips to Lyme Park back in the days when we used to have proper snow, with all us kids crammed excitedly in the back in our wellies, or to give my school football team mates lifts to and from games - I absolutely loved that clubman!

I would like to propose the Mitsubishi Lancer, one of the first cars I remember driving on rallying games with my son, it was this or the Subaru Impreza and I used to, as a kind father, allow junior first choice!

first two are a little impractical, so the mini for me. it is an icon, although as an adult i've hung on for dear life in the original ones due to a couple of female drivers treating them like go-karts. i quite like this marque too, both some of the classics and newer ones:

Good choices mini Herm. It has to be the iconic mini.
