Dream Garage

Hi Guys,

I'm sure this has been done before here, but I'm new and I did a search and didn't see a recent version

Here's the deal - you get $500K (about 420K Euros) to design your dream garage - anything car wise, with the following mix:

At least one Daily Driver
At least one Sports Car (Supercar if you've got the cash left )
At least one Sport Utility (I'm American and I like big cars )

Here's my list:

Daily Driver:
Bentley Continental GT - $165K


AND

Porsche Cayman S - $70K



Sports Car
Ferrari F430 F1 - $179K


Sport Utility
Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI - $65K


-Rich

Re: Dream Garage

I like this thread better. The other ones, people were picking way too many cars.

Everyday car:
BMW 760i 110k


Mini Cooper 30k


Sports car:
997TT. 160k-170k?


BMW Z8 (ohhhhh yeaaaaa) 95k used!


SUV
Range Rover 75k


These were pretty conservative prices that I found online. So I still have 30k to spend on options on these cars. Probably won't get me too much though. What a fleet!!! Try to beat 5 cars, and I mean good cars.

Awesome choices I'm a fan of MB too - especially the AMG versions. The TTV12 is insane.

By the way, Kleemann's US headquarter's is in Colorado Springs - one of these days I'll make it over there - not sure if they'll let me in to drool all over the cars

Re: Dream Garage

Daily Driver.

Audi A6 3.2 FSI Avant. AUD$120k



Sports Car.

Porsche Cayman S. AUD$150k



I personally don't need, nor want an SUV, so I'm going to substitute the category for a classic car.

Classic Car.

Citroen DS23 Pallas. AUD$30k

Re: Dream Garage

The daily driver I was hoping to make a deal on last Friday and was told that the car had sold two days before - to Fayetteville North Carolina that is not all that far from where I am right now. His name is Waldo. Maybe he'll go on sale again. If I ever get him, I'll RUF it (Turbo R - and get RUF wheels obviously):Attachment 282

My sports car:Attachment 283Attachment 284

And for a sports utility I might just take an X3 since that's the smallest of the Audi/BMW/MB/Porsche available SUV - like cars.

With the leftover money I'd build enhance my garage a bit and possibly get a Mustang dyno to play with too.
