Fantasy Garage
Discussion
I'm sure we all have one - OK so here are the rules :
You have won the Euro Millions rollover and have a big budget - the garage must also include a :
Family Car / Practical car
Town car / Economical car
MotorBike / Scooter (if you are into Bikes..)
Fantasy car / Supercar
Classic Car
and the reason for each choice !
As you have a ten car garage - no need to list them in an order
of preference.
So - here are mine.. as someone has got to start :
1) Ferrari 288GTO for sheerlooks and it's a classic
2) TVR450 SEAC oh - the noise and affordable supercar performance
3) Pagani Zonda - Supercar
4) TVR T350 - looks, noise, everday practicality, price
5) Yamaha R1 - superb performance without effort, wheelies
6) Aston Martin DB9 - yes I want to be James Bond (in my dreams)
7) Lotus Elise 130 - sublime handling, easy performance, MPG
8) Audi RS4 (Estate) - Everyday car and practical
9) Detomaso Pantera GTS - Supercar looks, affordable engine
10) Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVTI - useful town runaround, MPG
Have fun.. and only one of the same model

Not into bike's sooooooooo its all cars!

2. TVR Sagaris - because I would have the money and will track it.
3. Porsche GT3 ClubSport - for the track days, its a fine track car.
4. Honda NSX - because of Ayrton Senna and Honda 1988-89-90 F1 dominance and its a F^"Kin great car - future classic.
5. Maserati Quattroporte - A 4 door ferrari thats NOT a ferrari, evenings out with the 'inlaws'
6. Audi RS4 Avant - everyday work, family and 'stuff'
7. Honda FRV - Sitting in the middle front seat is like being in a McLaren F1 and I can get the family in it.
8. Lamborghini Murcielago - The true sucessor to the Countach, that 'NOISE' and its not a ferrari.
9. Mini Cooper S - Fun in the City.
10. Aston Martin DB9 - I would love to be James Bond too!!!!! Beautiful car and my father-in-law has a fat, flabby, pheaton based bentley gt, of which I would love to show him the real car he should have bought.
Must buy that lottery ticket tomorrow.

1) Maserati Quattroporte (family car)- the best looking saloon money can buy
2) Abarth 595 (city car) - the best looking small car ever built - just waiting for Fiat to launch the retro 500
3) Triton (motorbike - I'm not a biker but they just look so great)
4) Porsche 911 Turbo (supercar) - probably the ultimate point to point machine
5) Ferrari 250LM - I've been the passenger in one round Castle Combe - a great noise and more focussed than the GTO
6) 1955 Maserati 250F (ex-Bira) - the ultimate GP car
7) 1935 ERA - fantastic engine, fantastic noise, looks and goes as a racing car should
8) 1972 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera RS Lightweight - great point to point/hillclimb car and a classic shape
9) Frazer Nash Chain-gang - for the way they go round corners
10) TVR Griffith 400 (with kamm tail and ban the bomb rear lights) - I'd like to take a Griffith to the Revival and kick the E's, Astons and Ferraris into the weeds

her is mine...
1) TVR Cerbera - looks, noise, performance.
2) TVR Griffith 4.3 - pretty much the same as above! old school TVR'ing at its best!
3) TVR T350T - IMO the best modern tiv and it has the removable roof panels for sunny days
4) Ferrari F355 - IMO the prettiest V8 Ferrari ever and the best to drive
5) Ferrari 550 - the best looking and driving V12 Fezza since the Daytona IMO
6) Ferrari F40 - IMO the greatest Ferrari ever.
7) Pagani Zonda S - every fantasy garage has to have at least one hyper car!
8) Aston Martin DB9 - Gorgeous, lovely noise and would be great cross country
9) Porsche 911(996)GT2 - my 911 of choice
10) Audi RS4 - my everyday hack.
hope my numbers come up this week!

Where is the city car?? or is that the Zonda!
1. TVR Cerbera (got one)
2. 80s Audi quattro Turbo (got one)
3. Lotus Exige (not sure if I would get a mk 1 or 2)
4. Jaguar 3.8 mk 1 e-type fhc with ally interior and those minimal bucket seats, even loved the Moss box when I drove one.
6. Defo some kind of Lamborghini- depending on how rich I was:
Diablo QV or very early "periscope" Countach, i.e.. the one without all the 80s wheel arch extensions and scoops, for a few bucks more a nice Lamborghini Miura SV, on the other hand could definitely live with a nice little modern Gallardo.
5. Some thing for the Santa Pod RWYB meets - 32 model B laskester style hotrod (Ali moon disk wheels, chopped and channelled body, with small bock chevy engine)
If I had really mega bucks to spend:
Pagani Zonda
Mazerati mc12 (looks a bit like an Enzo)
Konigseg
Porsche 917 race car
Original 60s GT40
Ex Le Mans D-type Jag
Ex Le Mans Bentley Speed 8.
Porsche 935 racer.
OK, here's my list, and this took me some time to think about!....
1. Hummer (Family Car) - Big and brash, loads of road presence and a good load lugger
2. Grinnall Scorpion (Town car / Bike) - Small, fun and economical with a BMW 1100 bike engine
3. TVR Chimaera (Fantasy car) - the one in my garage and my first TVR
4. TVR Tamora (Fantasy car) - I'm getting the SP6 itch and if I had pots of cash, this is the way I'd scratch it
5. Lamborghini Gallardo (Fantasy / Supercar) - I think it looks the epitome of whiplash-fast road cars
6. TVR Sagaris (Fantasy / supercar) - For those sunny track days, and the noise of course!
7. Maserati Quattroporte (Long range cruiser) - Best looking 4-door IMO. The car for me to waft along the m-way
8. Marcos Mantara LM500 Spider (Classic car) - Old style britcar with great rarity value
9. Peugeot 207 RCup (Rally special) - For back road blasting, the white 4 wheel drive 280bhp 207 with the red nosebleed stripe from bonnet to tailpipe looks like the perfect pocket-rocket
10. Alfa Romeo SZ (Classic / show car) - in red, of course.
Cheers
Rich

Not easy this, but I suppose if I had to limit it to 10, these would be the ones
1) TVR Griffith - mine already but wouldn't want to sell it
2) Toyota Supra - mine also, but I've got to have one guaranteed to start, among the exotica
3) Ultima GTR - V8 soundtrack, stupid performance, who wouldn't want one
4) 1969 Hemi Dodge Charger Daytona - classic car and the first of the race cars on the street
5) 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda - probably the best looking muscle car ever made
6) Ferrari 355 - just for the sound
7) Audi RS6 plus - practical/family car
8) Smart Crossblade - city car
9) Aston Martin DB9 - awesome sound/presence
10) MacLaren F1 - supercar/fantasy
