Your real dream (obtainable) Garage

I'll bite. Here are my favorites, and would buy any of them if the condition and price is right.

Aston Martin DBS V8 with 5 speed (I love the grill)
Bentley Mark VI (one of the last shift it yourself Bentleys)
Ferrari 308 GTB
Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 (have)
Ferrari Mondial 8
Ferrari Testarossa (high single mirror)
Lamborghini P300 Urraco
Lamborghini 400 GT Jarama
Lamborghini P350 Jalpa
Lamborghini LP400 Countach
Porsche 964 Carrera 4 (have)
Porsche 911 Turbo (930)

Complete collection for the price of a F40.

 

right now I'm trying to decide between a really nice Testa Rossa replica built on a 250GTE chassis & engine or a cut Daytona or a cut Testarossa.

I'm really leaning towards the Testa Rossa but Ive got a few months before I'm really ready to think it over

Wouldnt mind adding a nice Jag E type roadster series 1 or a 64 Vette roadster to the stable

A porsche 993 or 996 turbo or a GT2 would be nice too

 

Me being a realist that I am.

1995 Acura Integra LS (for SOLO II)
1964 Chevy C10 stepside (sh*tbox in pieces & for sale!)
1997 Ford F-250 XL (gas hawg & for sale!)
1988 Honda Elite 125cc (track bike)
1977 or 1985 308 GTB (my very simple goal)*
1975 Lamorghini Countach LP400 (mean bastard ain't it?)*

*what I don't have yet

 

Keep my 348.
Dump $5000 into my STi
Buy a 2004 BMW 545i

 

realistically -

FFR Cobra replica
Mondial Cab
65-72 Corvette
90 ZR1
69 Camaro

 

Dream garage:

Daily:
575F1 in Aussro Cali Blue

In garage:
F512M (concours save tubi + cat-bypasses)
328GTS (with upgrades)
BMW 750iL
BMW E24, pref ///M6

 

Have:
355 Spider
BMW X5 4.4
Gmc 1 ton 4X4

Want:
Sunbeam Tiger (for project car)
512TR

Need to buy:
SL500 (for wife to shut her up)

 

That is one very expensive gag.

Dream Garage:

Porsche 930 3.3 liter
Mercedes Benz 560SEC

I'm a student and am only looking at a likely 50 grand a year, or less, the first few years out. Now when I get the MBA I'll be thinking about more expensive toys.

 

Realistic, bordering on extremely reaosnable:
512 TR
Audi A6

Semi-realistic (i.e. no multi-million dollar cars):

F50
275 GTB
Audi A8

Bordering on unrealistic:

Murci
F50
275
A8
250 Lusso
275 GTS

 

SELL MY 01 360 GET STRADALE WITH STRIPE
USED 575 MARANELLO
KEEP THE 02 ESCALADE
SELL BMW Z4 GET LOTUS ELISE FOR THE TRACK
USED ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH 2+2
Z06 JUST GOT STOLEN DONT HAVE IT NO MORE

 

My list, when you add them all up its pretty expensive but not too crazy

AM V8 Vantage Zagato
AM DBS6 (I like the wire wheels on the 6 and no spoilers...got the V8 above)
Alfa SZ (ES30)
LP400 Countach '74
512 BB carb
Ctype Jag (replica as this is supposed to be vaguely realistic)
GT40 MkII(replica as this is supposed to be vaguely realistic)
250PF coupe or Maserati 3500GT

Alfa 33 Stradale...whats the going rate for one of these if you can find one.....$5million?

 

Ok my garage would consist of not necessarily the most beautiful or fastest cars but the best drivers cars. Cars that when driven hard, will IMO reward you with the finest feedback possible.

F40
993RS
911RS 2.7
NSX-R
360 Stradale
Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9
Lotus Elan sprint
Original Audi Quattro

I need to update my list. This is what I am currently thinking about:

Bentley Continental R (when my first grey hair shows up)
Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 (have)

--Mercedes 280 SE "Opera" Coupe (owned a 250c, loved it, but $$$ to fix)
--Jaguar 3.8 Saloon

BUT: would sell firesale all of them for a 330 GT 2+2 (four lamp)

If I had a HUGE pile of money (and a bigger garage):
--330 GT 2+2 four lamp, blue, like the one currently on e-bay (!)
--Any 250 model, prefer the Lusso
--308 QV
--Maserati Sebring (or mexico, 3500 GT, etc)
--Lambo 350 coupe (dual lamp)
--Mercedes 220s Coupe
--pre-war rebodied Bentley Coupe (or similar)
--'72 911 RS

Small garage, but lotsa $$$ to burn?

If the dream garage of five including the wife's car and my daily drivers as well, that can be tough... Because I have more than five at the moment. But for sure I have to say my dream daily drivers which I now have is the Honda CRV. Best for Bangkok's traffic. Just had a 30,000km check-up and paid the incredible of 4,000 Bahts. Can you believe it? 4,000 Bahts....I mean that's 100 US dollars...

The other three are very important which can replace what I already have.
The Jaguar XK140 roadster for my MGA, The Ferrari 512BB to replace my 308GTB and to replace my 94 Esprit is the New Lotus Esprit which was anounced just last week to be launched in 2007 which will have all lightweight alluminum frame and structure with 400+ BHP. With its lightweight and power, the new Esprit's performance will surpass the F430 and Gallardo...

....As I have always kept my eyes open for this dream...
