Greatest Ever Sports Car
Question: what’s the odd one out in this list? Sports cars, vodka Martini, beautiful women, stamp collecting, James Bond. You’re right if you say that alcohol and cars just don’t mix.

They outdo each with extravagent design, speed and price, but say you didn’t have to worry about the latter, which car would you choose to take for a spin on a Sunday afternoon?
