Haven't used such code yet, but what about: 

i AS Integer
 myFile AS File
 newCars AS Object[]
 tmpcar AS CCar
 newCars = NEW Object[]
 tmpcar = NEW CCar 

 IF Dialog.OpenFile() THEN RETURN
   TRY OPEN dialog.Path FOR READ AS myFile
     WHILE NOT EOF(myFile)
       tmpcar=new CCar
       tmpcar.ReadFrom(myFile)
       newCars.Add(tmpcar)
     NEXT
   CLOSE myFile 

or just store the number of objects as the first line of the file ;)
