| 10 Car Dream Garage With the NAIAS motorshow on the helm, and having not see a thread as such for a long while, I thought this would a great time to revive the age-old question of the ten-car dream garage. So, how about it folks? Evidently, there have been a lot of vehicle releases as of late. But the question remains, do any of them make it onto your list? The only restriction being that the cars must be actual road cars - in otherwords, no concepts, etc. Other than that, feel free dream away. ![]() I'll answer a little later today when I have some free time. ![]() |

| Re: 10 Dream Car Garage Right you are Warot. The GT-R also seems to be one of those vehicles that everybody wants. I must admit to feeling a degree of guilt for leaving it out of mine. ![]() |

| Re: 10 Dream Car Garage Very nice choice. I might have to drop one car off my list for the Saab 9-5 Aero. Love the version before the current facelift.

| Re: 10 Dream Car Garage Well, let me think a bit... Here are my absolute favourites. Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster (1936-1939) ![]() ![]() ![]() Bentley Continental S1, Fastback by Mulliner (1955-1959) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rolls-Royce Phantom V (1959-1968) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Porsche 911 2.7RS (1972-1973) ![]() Maserati Ghibli (1966-1973) ![]() Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman (W100, 1964-1981) ![]() Mercedes-Benz 500SEC (C126, 1981-1992) ![]() ![]() ![]() Mercedes-Benz SL 600 (R230, 2001-) ![]() Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (W463, 1979-) ![]() Ferrari 250 GTO (1962) ![]() ![]() Like you see I have an obvious old-car bias...Modern cars appeal much less to me... I am the first surprised to see that the SL is the only modern car that manages into my top ten... Also, supercars are not really my thing. And my dream garage is very, very expensive! The 540K Spezial Roadster is my absolute Number One. This is THE car, an masterpiece with no equal. For me the most beautiful car ever, and by far.

| Re: 10 Dream Car Garage I'll just close my eyes, pick a key, walk out and press the botton and what ever opens is the car i'll drive for the day. If I had all of those cars I honestly wouldn't complain

| Re: 10 Dream Car Garage That's smart. I can be long, choosing between your 10 ever-favourite cars... For me it would be so long that once I've chosen it's the end of the day anfd instead of going to work I do a trip for fun... So I would not go to work any more, need to sell one car because the money does not come alone in the pocket, and the tíme I've chosen the one to sell I have no house and no wife and no job any more...
