What's your dream garage?

[lukey]

I know this has been done before but this one's a bit different. It's from Motor magazine and I thought it might be fun for people on the forum to give a try.

Say you've won $500k in Lotto and you have a 3-car garage to fill. Choose your weapons.

THE RULES
1. You have a maximum of $500,000 to spend on a dream garage. You can spend less but not more.
2. Your maximum three cars must be current production models and road registrable in Australia.
3. Each car must fulfill one of the following criteria:
- Can be used as a daily driver
- Can carry four adults & luggage
- Can be used as a weekend track car

Pictures a must!

So I choose

Daily Driver
Liberty GT $55,990


Four Seater
Territory Turbo $65,490


Track Weapon
Aston Martin DB9 $345,000


Change $33,520

I would buy this and invest the rest, nothing else even comes close. This is a car. None of this R8, AMG, ClubSport crap for me. This is my ultimate dream car right here.

[Ives]

Daily driver = Audi R8
Carry 4 people and luggage = C63 AMG
Track weapon = I could take the R8 to the track.

Jaguar XKR Convertible = $250,300
Daily driver and shopping trolley for the GF

TRD Hilux 4000S = $59,990

With $44,210 onto a charge card to spend on fuel for my V8 stable...for a whole month

[Bushbasher]

Audi A8 4.2 TDi as a daily with the ability to carry 4 plus luggage in MUCH comfort and pace . Plus there ain't nothing that'll touch it economy wise.



For a weekend toy F6X

Audi A8 TDi - 210k
F6X - 80k

I think I just met all 3 criteria with 100k+ left to invest and run & maintain the cars on the interest.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Only modern....

M3
RS4
AMG SLK55 (is that what the current model is?)

Either the M3 or RS4 for track days, probably M3.
Both the M3 and RS4 carry 4 adults.
All can be used as daily drivers, but more than likely the RS4.

But really if I could have any year I would have
1970 Boss Mustang
XA GT Coupe RPO83 optioned
1987 Mustang GT as my daily (RS4 would be nice too)

[CAT600]

Daily: M63 AMG

Weekender: BMW M6

Drag strip: FG F6 with built engine and a crapload of mods.

Uhhhh...... Maybe I just slightly blew past $500K,...... I'll pay for the F6 mods with cash? :

[mik]

of the current models, a black fg gt with gold striping DA FASTA ONE (lose the stock exhaust system pronto), a black typhoon as well and.......... a turbo focus might be ok just for a bit of differentiation.

[bangm001]

Ah yes we can only dream!!

Well for 500K to spend solely on myself, I would Keep my F6, and get one of these babies for the weekend. Sorry Pics are too large to attach..

Its a Viper, SRT8 with the Hennessey Performance 1000+HP upgrade, the upgrade alone costs more than the purchase price of the car. So i think im looking at around the 250K AUD mark landed, plus conversion to RHD, add 50K AUD, so for around 300+K AUD All is sweet. I would want to keep mine with the 6 speed manual box though and not the 3 speed thing..
Ah, if I have change, I may even get one of the Twin Turb 1000+HP versions, and also the ONLY 800HP stroker version (which may be a little cheaper) as a daily driver..

All **** factor cars so far. Let's get real guy's. I honestly don't see the point in dreaming about a car that you know you will never own. Let's get real for a moment.
