Ok everybody, I am after your ultimate 10 car garage. No doubt this thread has been done before "favourite cars etc" however this one has rules. Very strict rules.
You MUST have a car for every occasion. You cannot just have 10 supercars. You must have the following: 1. A practical daily, the type of car you could take into the city, park easily and not care if it got scratched or bumped. 2. A car capable of towing and has some off road capability. I don't mean hardcore off roading but capable of doing your gravel road stuff. 3. Must have a wagon for carrying things. 4. A car that could cover long distances very comfortably (i.e a limo, although not necessarily a limousine as such) 5. You favourite supercar. The final stipulation is all the cars must be completely road legal. How you fill the rest of the garage depends on what is important to you in a car. You can have a '59 Caddy for cruising or a fully sick drift car, as long as they are road legal go for it. Here is mine. 1. Porsche Carrera GT ![]() 2. Rolls Royce Phantom ![]() 3. Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG ![]() 4. Ferrari F430 ![]() 5. Volkswagen Golf GTi ![]() 6. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster ![]() 7. Range Rover Vogue TDV8 ![]() 8. Porsche 911 GT3 RS ![]() 9. Audi RS6 Avant ![]() 10. Ford GT ![]() I wanna see your lists!!!! |

Correct. I forgot to add. One car can't have fulfill multiple roles. You must have a car for each of those roles. The other 5....as long as they are road legal can all be turbocharged Zondas if you like.
On my list for example. Practical daily: Golf GTi Wagon: Audi RS6 Avant 4x4: Range Rover Supercar: Carrera GT Long distance cruiser: Rolls Royce Phantom. |

What can i say, i love Benzes
![]() As you can see from my list, i don't like modern cars either. The only car on that list younger than 15 years old is the RS6. And when it comes to old cars, in many ways M-B is unequalled. They had the first true fast saloons (500E, E60, 300SEL 6.3), the first fast "SUV" (before the word was even invented, at least on this side of the pond). In my opinion all these cars are better than their modern counterparts, and a lot tend to be of German origin, i can't help that. (If there were more than 10 cars allowed i would've added the Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider) |

I would possibly suggest the the golf GTI or mazda 6 would be a more suitable daily driver than a 911... you would not leave a 911 in a dark ally would you? and if a porsche get a scratch from a person who never learnt how to park it will cost you a new Mazda 6mps... |
