The only proviso is, out of fairness, it can't be the car you currently own.

As I love classic and slightly quirky cars, my ideal garage would be:

MK1 Lotus Cortina
FIAT 131 Mirafiori Sport
Bond Bug

RS6 Avant ABT tune (like Jon Olsson had previous one done to 1000 bhp)
S8
SQ7

Only four ring cars matter to me.
Wifey has no driving licence so she can walk or take a red, double deck limousine. Lol

Bentley GT supersport.
Lamborghini Urus.
RS6 - need something sensible for lugging the caravan, unless the Urus has the towbar option then I'd swap the RS for a 911 Targa 4s:friendly wink:)

Should have stuck in at school:grumpy:

LOL, probably better staying that way, about a year back I drove an old 911 turbo with the big arches (the poster boy) it was crabbing all over the place and pretty awful TBH, more recently an old 550 Maranello (might have been a 558), always loved the look of them but the clutch was crazy heavy, steering not much better and just a real chore to drive. The dash and switch gear had also gone all sticky to the touch (common apparently) - yuk. I got out of those cars just glad to still be in one piece, dread to think what a Countach would be like!

Maybe I'm getting old but IMO the modern stuff is so much better, they do say you should never meet your heros!

100% don’t care. If it’s that bad I’d just put it in the living room and look at it

I have really struggled with this, like many the garage is already not to shabby, but I will go with ( except for those pesky budget constraints )

Aston Martin Valkrie - for special days
Lotus Exige 430 for a track weapon and
Lamborghini Urus as the daily driver / winter beater
 
Hmmm....

Being honest and realistic, I would love to have;
MK II Escort RS 1800
Always wanted an Escort Cosworth
RS3

My number one car would also be a Mk1 LC but a Bond Bug, where did that come from?
Number 2 @ 3 for me would be one of the last SWB Defenders and MB C63.

Do I see a Triumph 2000 in you profile pic?
 
If I win the lottery

Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Fanalone for fun
Audi R8 Spyder for me
Audi RS6 Avant for family

I just like quirky cars... and love cheese.

Always remember a school friend's brother had one, along with an ex-Police 'Noddy' motorbike (remember them?). Hideously impractical but...

Of course I remember Noddy bikes. The local Rocker clubs used to go out Noddy bike hunting and kick the bike panniers and see if they could knock the Constable off.

They were quite funny little bikes. As with Lambrettas and Vespas, they are a part of our motorcycle heritage.
 
I,m not into badge snobbery,my BMW 325ci is next to my Audi A3 3.2 which is next to my neighbours Mercedes and Audi as our driveways run parallel.
A light hearted poke at the brand rivalry between Audi and BMW, sorry if you missed that

No i didn,t miss it at all Calum,just saying the 3 major players all reside within a couple of feet of each other on our two driveways,
My recent Audi purchase has surprised a lot of family & freinds as i,ve always been a firm BMW fan,but to be honest after a couple of weeks of Audi ownership i wish i,d bought one years ago.
