If I were to trim it to 8, It would be these:

Trimming further, I'd discard the last 3.

Further than that gets rather tough. I suspect that as it sits, there would be 
some disagreement with my choices.

For example, while this shot may not be as strong photographically:

the car with the ratty paint job is so incredibly cool, its a shame to drop it.

Also, the detail of the little France emblem:

might be a nicer photo than some of the ones I've kept.

Come to think of it, I don't even agree completely with myself.  When I look at 
the shots I had selected for my "best of October 2010" set, I had chosen 9 of 
them, but not the same 9.

It is an interesting artistic question, of how many, and which pictures to 
include in a gallery.  And the answer would change for the audience, for 
example photographers, or motorheads.

I'm curious which shots other people would include in my "bestest" collection, 
whether it's only one, or all 16.
