They have the remake Mini from the remake Italian Job, but not the original Minis from the original movie?

Walker only drove the GMC in the first part of the first season. Dodge became a sponsor, and for the rest of the series, Walker drove a Dodge Ram 3500.

How about my favorite spy-mobile: Matt Helm's (Dean Martin) 1965 Mercury Colony Park Station Wagon. With the flick of a switch, a bar and a full size bed unfolded in the back. Far more useful than any of Q's gadgets.  ;)

Doesn't seem like the most well thought out list, but getting to 30 is pretty to agree on.

I suggest the biggest omission is the Ford Crown Victoria which has been the most blown up/shot up/crashed into car of the last decade. 

If you see a Crown Vic, you KNOW it's gonna die.

I was going to suggest the Crown Vic for another reason. I was thinking of the 20 years that Lenny Briscoe, Alex Eames, John Munch & co. have been using them to keep NYC safe in the first 4 American Law & Order series. I think the fifth series, L&O: Hollywood, use Chargers, but I've never made it through an entire episode.

Not to mention, it's an article about famous cars... not movie cars.  You can't find one North American who doesn't slow to the speed limit the second they see a Crown Vic on the road.  No other car has that kind of effect on people!  (Except for Alonso's Ferrari on Massa...)

I know what you mean, Jeri. Back in the 80's, my Mom had a Crown Vic. It was the same color silver that the Ohio State Highway Patrol cars were back then. It was fun to watch the noses of oncoming cars dive as the drivers hit the brakes!

No2 born in Belfast, my home town.  :yahoo:

My personal favorite would have to be the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, makes me feel all funny.  8)

I showed my 11year old Ferris Bueller's day off just last week David.  A classic movie - and kept me entertained as well.  The best thing Broderick has ever done.
