stuff What’s your dream garage? A quiet Friday morning in the office found as talking about what cars we would own if we had the cash, concluding that 5 is the perfect number. Then the obvious question ‘which 5 cars would you have… money no object?’ was asked and snowballed into lists being scrolled down. As well as the number of cars and money not being an issue, there were additional (loose) criteria to adhere to when filling your 5 garage.
The garage had to contain
an everyday car,
a track car
A classic car.
So, after much deliberation and last minute changes, we have the final lists.

Let me know your 5 car dream garage.

Read the rules and post your reply. I'm interested in what the mk6 owners would have.

Post by: Exonian on 05 January 2013, 16:31: If the Euro-millions go to the most deserving cause i.e. me then I think it'd be:

Lambo Aventador for when I'm feeling like a mid life crisis hooligan
Golf GTI or R on about a stage 2 tune for a daily
MK1 Golf GTI with a 2.0 16v conversion sat on a plinth in my garden as an object of beauty (which would have a double benefit of annoying the wife or 22 year old blonde floozie I picked up on a mid life crisis millionaire's night out!!) which would be used as an occasional driver on a sunny day

That'd probably do me actually.

And maybe an Evoque for when I was feeling a bit in touch with my feminine side... in fact I quite fancy one of those anyway as I'm fed up trying not to kerb 19'' alloys...

And as a late edit: If it really has to be five cars then maybe a Porsche of some sort as long as it's a fast one and in the nice powder blue colour, that could sit on the plinth next to the mk1 GTI. In fact I might have the mk1 GTI in the hallway of my mansion instead!!

Right, back to planet Earth - mk6 GTI does me just fine... !!!

(I stuck to the rules of 5 cars otherwise I would not have a track car, 4cars is enough for anyone in my experience)
