Best of lists are always tough. In this case, is it: most iconic, most effective, most influential? I feel this way about film lists, too. The most interesting conversation is not what is the best picture, but which & how parameters are weighted: novelty, craft, cultural zeitgeist, etc.

Concorde vs. the Union Flag? In the round of 64? Bah. Impossible to continue.

EDIT Agh now Range Rover v Mini? What do you want from me!?

Pretty cool, but it always ends on Spitfire vs Mini and I don't know how you decide.

Spitfire or the Underground chart?

Wisdom says underground but the heart screams Spitfire.

UK road signs won for me. Something about the type-face, colours and design.

In this bracket my choice invariably comes down to the Spitfire versus the Mini, and I always favor the Spitfire, as the Mini reminds me of the terrible parking
