O/T...What`s In Your Dream Garage ?

[CAMiller]

And no....I don`t mean your favourite strimmer,if money was no object,pick 5 cars to go in there.

As a car nut,I`d struggle with just 5,but here`s mine,for today anyway !

1....E Type Jag,probably a late series 2 convertible in red.

2.De Tomaso Pantera,loved since I was a kid,no sure why,but I think one featured in the Gum Ball rally film,perfect super car,Italian looks with American muscle car oily bits.

3.Mini Cooper S,one of the last ones from 1970,stronger mechanically,and faster.

4.Ferrari Testarosso,in Rosso red with creme interior,the best of the 80`s supercars,just make sure someone else has spent all the money on it first !

5.Mercedes 500 SL,an early 80`s example in a good colour,the last great Merc,built to last forever,looks amazing,loads of cutting edge technology,and now buyable for less than 10 grand.....bargain.

What`s in yours ?

Not really a car fanatic or one who drools over them but here's my basic (and probably very boring) choices.

1. Nostalgic British choice. MK1 Ford Escort. Probably crap but loved seeing them on the rallying scene in the 70s.
2. Pulling choice. Like Howdy probably an Austin Healey as I'm a bit old for a Porsche (and for pulling).
3. Utility choice. Had a 20+ year old Ford F150 4x4. Great in snow and for carting crap around. Only paid $2.5K for it so never worried about hitting anything else (although I never did).
4. 1960s Shelby Mustang. Something to make a noise and annoy the neighbours.
5. Any big old classic US saloon of the 1950s to cruise around in.

You've been state side far too long

You've been state side far too long

Actually 60% of my adult (driving) life so the balance of 3/5 is about right
