hmmm I see your point...

In that case I'd take a trip to the nearest building site - employee someone to build me a garage that resembles a hangar, pay them in kind so that I don't eat into my car fund and then go and buy all the cars...

Does that count?

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

I would get the following:

1995 Nissan 300zx (Fairlady Z) TT - Heavily modded daily driver
Nissan Skyline R34 - Heavily modded weekend driver
1969 Shelby GT 500 - Modded like elanore in "Gone In 60 Seconds", Wife's car
Nissan 240sx - Modded for drift
1972 Chevy Nova - Alchohol fueled drag car with NOS

The remainder would go into a complete shop to work on them in. Tools, Lifts, Pits, the works.

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

I'd convert a portion of my fantasy garage and fit controlled chillers. Now I have a walk in fridge to hang and age my Christmas beast feast to perfection.

As for the rest of the space, I'll remove the Vauxhall Chevette and install a Mercedes Benz/AMG A55.

And squeeze in a Touraeg V10 TDi for high days and holidays.

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

Fantasy garage,, DBS will be my GT car for intercontinental and trips to the Med, M5 for everyday driving, Porsche Carrera GT to keep in my st Tropez residence, Ferrari 275 GTS for a classic and lotus Elise for weekend shenanigans.

Affordable'ish garage, 560 SEC as a GT car, Elise for the weekends and a st220 or Monaro for the weekday's

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

Ooh, dream car would be a Lotus Esprit S2.

However, it wouldn't be an original.

Have a replica, made from CFRP instead of GFRP, and a nice modern 1.9 or 2.0 Turbo Diesel instead of a highly tuned NA Petrol 2.0 or 2.2 engine - more torque and roughly the same power

I would actually like a supercar every weekend. A different one each weekend mind for at least a year. That would give me 52 cars to choose from and I'd get a chance to decide which was the best.
