Dream Garage - Six Cars ONLY

288GTO as the very special car

 

Aye I feel like this is ever changing for me and I can't remember if I replied to this thread already.

Three for certain permanent would be an F40, F50 and the most current Rover or SUV flavor of the year. Then I feel like I'd rotate, restore, upkeep a Speedster, C-Type, SL, Healey, Jeep, Bronco, Defender or FJ, and a grand coupe either an Aston, CL or M6 mixed in with a sport sedan every now and again. S63, E63, M5 or S6.

One can dream.

1) 1984 Ferrari 400i
2) 1965 Ford Thunderbird
3) 1983-89 Rolls Royce Corniche
4) 2014 Jaguar F Type
5) 2014 Bentley Continental R
6) 1976 Chevy Caprice Wagon

 

Not a bad "throw in" for your sixth car!

Not in any order

- Aston Martin V8 Vantage manual
- Bentley GT V8 S
- Mercedes S 500 Hybrid
- 458 Speciale Aperta
- Enzo
- FXX K

Covers it for me. A small potent car to chuck about (Vantage manual to have some fun), everyday sports car (GT V8 S), picking up friends and family (S 500 Hybrid), car for the sunny days (Speciale Aperta), legendary car for the extra sunny days (Enzo), track car (FXX K).

 

Someone should make a list of all the mentions of each car. I bet there are ton for cars like the F40.

 

I'll bite. Why the Caprice Wagon? Sentimental pick?...T

 

1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster
1953 Ferrari 375 America Pininfarina Coupe
1939 Delahaye Type 165 V-12 Figoni Cabriolet
1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic-Electron Coupe
1939 Talbot-Lago T150 SS Teardrop Coupe
1933 Hispano-Suiza J12 Coupe deVille

Those would do nicely!

 

Keeping it somewhat realistic -

Vintage
Xke convt
Lincoln 4 door convt

Track
Modded gtr (fxx if fantasy)

Truck
Range rover sport

Sport car
458 sa

Eco
Tesla

 

OK
1- F40
2- F40
3- F40
4- F40
5- F40
6- AMG E63 Wagon. One of them had to be a little bit practical!

 

Carrera GT
997.2 GT3RS
F40
Ford GT
Zonda Roadster
Aston DBS


18 pedals of enjoyment.

I've probably posted in this thread before, but like everyone else, my car desires change over time.

 

F40 (childhood dream, raw performance)
288 GTO (childhood dream + most beautiful car IMO)
991 GT3 or RS (track/practical exotic)
993 Turbo S (embodiment of Porsche)
997 C4S (most aggressive looking of the normal Porsches / daily driving practicality)
Ferrari 275GTB (favorite classic Ferrari)

The above is what I would want to stare at and drive. Logically, my dream garage would otherwise just be the 6 most valuable cars, which I could then sell and buy the six above with plenty of change left over (250 GTO, Bugatti Type 57, etc...)

 

I responded a long time ago but my tastes have evolved slightly.

1. Ferrari 328 GTS (mine will do nicely)

2. Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

3. Ferrari 348 TB

4. Porsche 964 Carrera RS (Euro)

5. BMW M3 EVO II (Euro)

6. Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale

I like reading this thread. It's great to see the diversity. Am I the only one who on occasion thinks."i wonder what the age of this guy might be"

Not that it is very important, the diversity just makes me think about why some only choose cars from the 20's to the 50's, while some have lists with cars that only dates back no more than 10 years. I don't mind telling that I'm 40 years young, so it would of course stand to reason that I am a bit into cars like the 288, F40, Countach and so on, as it is what I looked at as a kid etc. but I'm very fond of a lot of the old Alfas, Rolls, Mercs and Bugattis too.

Here's the list I posted a few days ago. As I also said, it doesn't even scratch the surface and it changes often. But this is what I had in mind that day

#1 Ferrari 250 Cali SWB
#2 1966 Lamborghini Miura P400
#3 Ferrari F40
#4 Porsche 997.2 GT3RS 4.0
#5 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta
#6 Range Rover SDV8

 

There was a thread about someone using their F40 in Japan to go camping, so I think you might be able to replace #6 with another F40.
Btw, I agree, the E63 AMG wagon is an awesome car!...T

 

I love your list!

 

Thanks!

 

At least you have a firm vision.

 

288 GTO (childhood dream + most beautiful car IMO) - yes

 

288 GTO (first F super car)
F40 (best analog driving experience)
250GT (timeless beauty)
F12 (daily driver)
Bentley SUV (I can wait a little

 

The problem with having a dream car garage is that it changes daily, haha. So here is my list as of 9:17pm AEST 22/01/2015

1. F50 - because, why not.
2. Diablo SV - Blu Scoro - have to stop the haters in their tracks somehow.. by making tracks
3. Subaru WRX 22B
4. Ford RS200
5. 360 Challenge Stradale
6. BMW 323i JPS Edition - this little guy

 

1. Ferrari 250 SWB - for its lovely balanced lines and useable performance
2. Ferrari 330 GTC - beacuse I've loved it for 34 years and could not sell!
3. Ferrari 500 Superfast - largely to look at! Beauty, exclusivity and fabulous performance for 1964
4. Ferrari 288 GTO - looks and performance: first of the real supercars
5. Facel II - an icon of the early 60s
6. AC 289 Cobra - raw, wind in the hair performance

If I wasn't limited to 6, my choices could include a Lambo 400GT, XK-E, DB 4 or 5, Ghibli or ISO Grifo.

The practical, daily driver would probably be a 530i and I'd leave that outside the garage!

 

For me it's a little impossible doing a list with only 6 cars...
But my six first choices would be:

1- Ferrari F12
2- Ferrari 430 Scuderia
3- Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
4- Ferrari 599 GTO
5- Audi RS6 C7
6- Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG V222

 

I really like that list.
