Hey Everyone,

I apologise if this is a repost, I did look but didn't find, I love asking this question to car folk so here goes:

What's your perfect 10 car garage, everyone has one... (for those who want the question in more detail) You have an unlimited budget with which you can buy 10 Cars and only 10 cars, Including all road vehicles except motor bikes for this example. 10 Cars alone. Also I'm more interested in Make and Model rather than saying I'd have Jimi Hendrix's car...

So here's mine to get the ball rolling (in no particular order):

1) Aston Martin DB5

2) Landrover Defender

3) Lamborghini Miura SV

4) Supercharged Ariel Atom (Not the V8 new one)

5) Jaguar MKII

6) 2010 Lancia Stratos

8) Ferrari 250GT SWB

I don't think I could narrow it down to 10. Too damn hard. I'd just think of a car that's a competitor for a car I'm thinking of and it would never end. Great question for a night with a few pints and good friends though.

That's exactly where my answers came from :)

Now you're just being ridiculous. I'm not rich now and I own a motorcycle. If I were filthy stinking rich I'd own at least 5 or 6...or 50. ;)

I'm not saying you wouldn't but that's a question for another time, this question is top 10 cars....

Well yeah, but if you've got an unlimited budget and you want a lotus.... Make it an exige... Why not?

I like the top off version of the Elise, slightly better rear visibility plus top down motoring fun, and the supercharged SC model is right up there with the Exige in performance.

10 is too many. I'd just pick 3.

Grocery hauler, CTS-V wagon:

Pimp mobile, V12 Vantage:

This is the Motor City, and this is what we do. Corvette ZR1:

That's it. Actually, I lied, I'd pick 4.

I need something for when it drizzles and my driveway gets wet, Ford Raptor SVT:

you're practical enough to include a truck and you go with a Tundra?

Why not? It does everything the domestics do just as well...at least as much as I'd ever push it anyway. I don't need to tow a house but I might want to take the motorcycles or one of the Ferraris to a track day every now and then.

You said 10 car garage. If I had a 10 car garage I'd have a bunch of motorcycles in it as well...not just cars.

Right now I have a 2 car garage with 1 car and 1 motorcycle in it and another car parked in the driveway.

Then that's not a 10 car garage is it... it's a 10 car and 2 motorcycle garage. I am only interested in cars, hence the questions is specifically about cars, in your perfect world you can have 10 cars, 50 bikes and a donkey but I don't care about donkeys, and this question doesn't involve bikes.

I like the look of the sedan more, but the wagon is more practical, so it gets the nod. Plus, there is just something entertaining about having a wagon that can smoke 99% of stock cars on the road. It certainly looks better than the Magnum, or the Euro competition, with the possible acception of the Audi RS6 Avant.

I'm glad you said this because that's what I was about to mention

Fair enough, btw every time someone says "Wagon" I lol.
