Default What would you put in your Fantasy garage.

Ok so you found £1,000,000 laying in your pocket and you get to buy a car or cars. What car(s) would you insist on - I suppose a sensible daily run car, a cabriolet, a sports car and a track day car!

Right then, first and foremost I would finish my own Civic. Then get the new Civic Coupe that the Yanks have and modify that up. I'm probably supposed to have a supercar, but to be honest when you mod up a sporty coupe I think they're better anyway, so instead I'd get myself that Citroen C-Metisse that they were showing off and drive around everywhere singing "dinner dinner dinner dinner BATMAN". Ostentatious style would come in the form of my VW Camper on monster truck wheels.

That's a lot of cars to polish and clean, let alone fuel! You sure you've not missed any off there?

I would have my yank fitted with a 426 cu-in (7 liter) Hemi engine (probably the best engine ever produced) and another one exactly the same built especially for the drag strip. 8) And thats all

Default Re: What would you put in your Fantasy garage.

i've thought about this for a while,
for track days
lotus exige
honda nsx (the newest one)
audi rs4

these two for the strip
plymouth road runner
supra mk4 twin turbo

and for drifting
a mazda rx - 7

and an rolls royce phantom for general road use
also, you just have to have a ferrari 612 scaglietti for touring round europe in
plus a bmw 330D for going to the shops in

all apart from the diesel BMW and the rolls would be modifyed somehow engine wise. ranging from a remap to full on everymod you can fit into the car(for the supra and the plymouth)

Default Re: What would you put in your Fantasy garage.

46-56" modified Land Rover, Patrol or Dodge Ram

Ferrari F450

Shelby Cobra with a nice Hemi in it

Dodge Challenger or a Charger, again, with a Hemi

Austin Martin DB9

A modded Van

An modded RX-7 or 8 for the dayly drive

and a Zodiac CZ-7 which is a 7 meter RIB (ridgit inflatable boat) with some kind of a carbon fiber based bottom and comes with 2 250 hp motors, all you need to drive it, drysuits, intercom and is used by the Navy Seals and The American coastguard in bad situations such as hurricanes

Another car you could use both for dayly use and as a great track car is the Ariel Atom, I would like to have either the Ariel atom 3 or Ariel Atom 500

The Atom 500 is a new atom that is being relesed soon. It is 500 kg like the other one but has a 500 hp V8 in the back which makes it 1000 hp per tonne and 0-60 in under 2,5 seconds

[image appears to be hotlink protected so SNIP and link to image left instead.]
http://images.leftlanenews.com/conte...k-series-9.jpg

Mercedes SL Black, nomnom.

A Aston Vantage, just for the bloody noise.

I think the SL would do as a day to day rather than a Bentley Continental but I do like those too.

Considering there I'd have around 650-700K left, I best get spending.

R34 GTR Skyline, modified up.
Stock Skyline GTR (The new one)

Thats about half a mill left.

Hmm...

... I dont actually know beyond that... I guess I'd like a Audi RS4, and maybe a Q7.

Let me know if that image is too big Waynne, or nerf it yourself, but people need to see it

Default Re: What would you put in your Fantasy garage.

Ooo, i like these fantasy threads

Firstly, i would have to build a garage to house all these cars, bet you didn't think of that !

I would have 4 cars :

An M3 CSL for the track
A 911 turbo with full tech art conversion for the weekends
An Overfinch Range Rover (I hate them when i see one, but would have to have one) for the winter.
And i would have a Mercedes 63 AMG for the week jaunts

Then, i'd be happy....ish

This is difficult for me as I have to think more along the lines of what I wouldn't buy...

Merc McLaren SLR
BMW 850
AM Vanquish
1967 Shelby GT 500
TR6 1968
Honda NSX
Skyline GTR
Mini 1275 GT

I could go on but I don't think I have much money left
