Fantasy garage: What's your ideal 5?

[SteveH]

OK, my proper 5:

1) Used Holland & Holland Range Rover (Debadged with a TD added)


2) Used XJR


3) Caterham R300


4) Ducati Diavel


5) KTM EXC300


About £50k to spare to pay for that mega insurance bill

[JCviggen]

Probably would change my mind every time I make a list but

- The C5 Avant would stay
- B7 RS4 + supercharger
- 997 GT3
- E30 M3
- restore my Volvo 850 track car (funny to put an old FWD volvo in there but I love the damn thing)

5. Merc Actros Gigaspace (The workhorse) £109k

Hahaha those who haven't met you probably won't get this!

75k - Ferrari F430, manual, Rosso, circa 2005 2006
59k - Porsche 997 GT3, Clubsport pack, Carrera white, 2007 2008
28k - Audi RS4 B7 Avant, Sprint with buckets, 2007
36k - Lotus Elise S (brand new 2012 chargecooled supercharged model)
2k - Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9, my 1993 Alpine White

[Mr V10]

60k limit guys, hence I have no Alfa 8C or Sport quattro etc...

[AdamM]

Having just looked at the rules, my garage would be as follows.

1. RS2 (15K)
2. NSX (40K
3. Maserati Gransport Spyder (40k)
4. R8 (60K)
5. Ferrari 355 (40K)

5K left for a daily snotter, MK4 Golf TDI.

[Nobby]

- Obviously an RS6 plus (£20k)
- MG Metro 6R4 (£50k)
- Maserati 3200 Assetto Corsa (£20k)
- Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV (£50K)
- Lancia integrale S4 (£60k might be stretching it)

If the budget was higher it'd have to include a Cobra 427, Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB, Jaguar XJR9 'Silk Cut', Alfa Romeo Guila GTA, Lancia Stratos, Aston Martin DB4GT Lightweight, Original Fiat 500 Abarth, Mercedes 300sl, Porsche 917k , Porsche 993 turbo and Lancia 037.

Now, where did I put that £200k......

[AdamM]

You would be lucky to get a Countach for 50k now, remember reading in evo magazine and Harry Metcalfe said the cheapest Countache's are now around 80k.

[Nobby]

Really? Prices must have shot up in the last year then. I remember seeing quite a few for ~£50k (perhaps LP400s)

I'll just have to barter them down then

I remember you could get a Countach Anniversary for 50k about 3 years ago, now more like 90k - 120k.

There are only 2 on PH. One is a snip at £125k with 18k miles on the clock. The other? Well, it's POA I'm afraid. They should change POA to IYHTABYGTFO (If You Have To Ask, Best You Get The <beep> Out). It's reportedly 400miles and the lowest mileage Cunttash in the world, I'll admit, it does look good and the interior just looks like it would cause women to salivate and start handing out blowjobs.

Brilliant post.

400 Miles in nearly 30 years. I just wonder what's going need replacing before it'll go back on the road. It's a shame the car's just been put in a room out of the way not left alone. Clearly someone thought it would be a great investment.

Cars are meant to be driven not parked up in a controlled environment like this one. Shame.

I had the opportuntiy to drive a countach once. Pure car porn in the looks department and would pull the fairer sex, no worries, but a pig to drive.

You need the strength of a sumo wrestlers left foot to depress the clutch (must have come out of a lambo tractor) and you better just look straight ahead because you can't see anything out the back or side past the drivers door! (not that anyone should pass you)

Went like a bat out of hell with an engine noise of banshees chasing you, but i would call it a real 'widow maker'.

Best to park it and stand by it nonchalantly with the keys in your hand and possibly have people think you are a real tosser, not that you would care!
