5 Cars / Bikes in your garage ?

prospect

Okay, If you could have ANY 5 cars / bikes in your garage what would you choose?

Some rules:
1. Stick to the topic, not criticising other peoples choices
2. Only one post per person
3. You can edit your post if someone reminds you of a car / bike
4. Give a 'BRIEF' reason for each choice
5. Current, standard production cars /bikes only (no performance shop versions AMG etc)
6. You can't choose 5 Maybachs and sell them, you keep the cars / bikes...

You get the idea.

2 Toyota Landcruiser (100 series)
3 Audi Quattro (á la group B rally car)
4 Porsche GT3
5 Mk1 VW golf GTi with Pirelli alloys (originals) mmmm!

KTRIC

1. 1982 Honda GL1500 - without fairing, because it's a big tractor of a bike

5. 1974 Corvette Stingray - in matt black - for scaring granny's in their Micra's.

peasant

1) a Saab 95 Aero Estate ...never have dogs travelled this fast
2) a "classic" 1300cc Mini for around town
3) a nice medium sized Motorhome
4) a Unimog trial truck
5) a classic Indian motorbike

My guess is that all these super-fast cars would just be too frustrating in the long run ...hence the more "practical" choice.

Was considering an Ariel Atom for a while ...but in this weather ??

No particular order:

R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R v-spec - vroooooom
BMW M5 - vrooooooom
Harley Davidson Fatboy - scares old ladies, deafens people
Toyota Supra twin turbo, late 90s version - sexeh
Ferrari 360 spider - oh go on then

Alfasudcrazy

My luxury car would be the Masserati Quattroporte - gotta be the best looking saloon car available now.


I would not mind this Alfa Barchetta. - for wearing my coolest shades and showing off at Mondello track days


No proper garage should be without a Farrari Dino - cool 60's style and a good investment.


And sure you would need a F355 to keep it company - just to prove im minted and to hear that glorious roar as I drive down the coast motorway on the costa del sol.


and an Alfa 2600 Spider - just love this car even though I did not know it existed till yesterday.


My everyday runabout would be an Alfa Sprint like this - a car I always dreamed of owning (the silver bumper type) but never managed to actually buy.


No motorbikes – too dangerous and too expensive to insure.
Sorry - I have broken all the rules by choosing 6 cars – only one of them being a current model. :rolleyes:
Well there are not five modern cars today that I really want.

unkel

1. E60 M5 - daily driver
2. Lamborghini Murcielago - for the track and for the looks
3. Enzo - just to prove that I'm not a footballer
4. Citroen DS23 Pallas - no need to explain
5. M1A1 Abrams - for when things get rough

Mrs unkel has her own garage...

knifey_spoonie

1)Shelby cobra
2)Lexus ls430
3)F40
4)Merc SLR
5)Toyota 2000gt shelby

I'd seen one of those Quattroporte's while in monaco and wasn't that impressed with it 'in the flesh' to be honest.. anyway,

Alpina B5 (daily driver)
Ariel Atom (300bhp un_daily driver)
BMW K1200R
Predator 82 yacht
The BMW equivalent in microlight aircraft (apparently you need a licence for anything bigger)

I'd be happy enough with all that, oohh and an owl ball of shyte golf gti or something for the missus

Aston Marton DB9 - imo the ulitmate modern sports car

Aston Marton DB5 - classic car without a doubt, would be very cool too see it and the db9 parked side by side.

Koenigsegg ccr - fantastic looking car, and fast as ****. Also something a little different from ferraris and lambo's etc.

Mitsu. Evo 9 - with an agressive front body kit and the biggest alloy wheels i could fit on the bastard.

Toyota Supra s900 - most amazing supra ive ever seen, i hear there are only 3 in the world.

Curran

1. Ford Mustang GT500E 1967 "Eleanor"

Would this be her?

Nice thread... I just wish I had a garage really. If I had just a brick sh1t house of a garage I would be so happy.

For day to day commuting/making noise: A Moto Guzzi Breva 1100, it just looks so good and I've recently become something of a closet guzzihead.


My classic, heroic, stylish cruise around car would be one of these...

The Alpine A110 the nicest looking rally car ever.

Speaking of rallying I would definitally pick up one of these and set it up for rallying, A Ford Escort Mk.II.


For nipping to the shops I'd get an Audi S4 and for expeditions across africa I'd get a Landrover Defender 110.

something for the weekends:


something to lure soccer moms into the garage:


an everyday runabout:


for some traction on country lanes:


for when i crash back down to earth:

rymus

1. BMW R1200GS
2. Pajero Sport (complete with trailer & boat)
3. Yamaha Wild Star
4. Shelby Cobra
5. 'Eleanor'

blastman

Lamborghini Gallardo - prefer it to the Murcielago as it's smaller and neater.
Aerial Atom - affordable rocket, it's what I'm spending my SSIA on (I wish!)
Ferrari F40 - the supercar I've always wanted to own.
Honda NSX-R - the supercar that won't break down.
Bowler Wildcat - because it's complete madness.
