Something I thought might be fun for a few weeks. There will be some potato-quality images.

Use whatever criteria you want:

Which is your favourite
Which you think is objectively the best
Which was the most imaginative
Which captured the spirit of the challenge

Original Challenge Winner: Nobody
Despite its initial unreliability James' car made it the furthest to the end

Definitely the Maserati. If I lived in Europe I definitely would have bought one. Would have made my life a living hell of course, but damn. I would buy one tomorrow if I could regardless of my financial status.

Why does Europe get all of the cool used cars?
 
The Ferrari had the least problems and wasn't a bucket of scrap like the other 2 (especially the Maserati) despite a rusting subframe.
 
The Dino was clearly the best car but the Urraco is so good looking. It's tough to call.
 
Supercar buyer logic dictates that I should favour the best-looking car that barely worked over the "Ferrari" that sort of worked most of the time, and to ignore Jeremy's lemon.
 
The best car there despite it not making it the furthest was the Dino but I'd take the Urraco because bias.
 
Never saw the episode, but I love the Uracco, so I gotta go with that.
 
The Dino was the best, But it ain't a real ferrari.

Lambo for me.
