Hi Lou,
Not tired yet, keep them coming. I have that issue too, and thought they did a good job of explaining their criteria. As a racing journal, they focused mainly on the competitive success the marques as their main criteria. You can argue all you want about what criteria should make up a list like this, but I think they came up with an interesting list. Seems the Brits like this sort of thing, as Autosport does the same thing most winters....

And what name, my dear CR listmembers, is missing?????????? (No, the missing framebuilder is not a CR listmember, but nice try).
