foreign cars will be a bit harder to judge as johnny foreigner tends to be a bit more adventurous than most of us conservative brits.

There are some interesting opinions on the 'Zone these days, and not all of them from strangers. Old friends have been calling me late at night from places like Nassau and Kowloon and New York, raving angrily about which of this crew of COTM entries should take the number one spot. They've called me from the Blue Lagoon Yacht Club on the south side of St Vincent offering bribes; I've had threatening collect calls from Miami telling me who to vote for.

The attendant in the washroom in the First Class lounge at JFK even stopped me to tell me which car to pick.

But now, as at last I have some peace up in the bubble of a 747 somewhere above the Arctic Circle, I can finally focus my mind on choosing just one out of the raft of quality cars thrown up for judgement this month.

For sheer adventure, quality of work and most of all jaw-dropping-holy-bejeesus attention to detail there could only be one. Or, at least, there was only one car suggested to me by a certain persuasive air hostess by the name of Candy just now......

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Warsteiner V6, created by our friends across the Irish Sea - x-works.
