Every day car 1: 2003 Clio 1.5 DCI - simply THE best car round town
You don't have to worry about it and it will fit in any parking space.

Every day car 2: Mondeo Mk4 2.2 TDCi Estate - for space/longer trips
I thought about a Range Rover Sport but I'd be far too worried about jealous people keying it or even breaking into my house and taking it from me.

Classic: MINT 2WD Saff Cossie
As I simply adore this car and I don't care if you think it's just an old Ford!

Supercar: Noble M400

include:

something you would use every day
something kept 'for best'
a past 'classic' - something you would love to restore because you'd love a mint version of it to keep forever..
a 'supercar'

Here is mine..might not be to everyones taste....
A Range Rover Sport (used as a daily driver)
An Aston Martin DB9 (kept for best for weekends away etc)
An original Cozzie, preferably a 3 door RS500 (I'd love a minter to keep forever)
A Ford GT (a future classic)
A Ford Racing Puma (To ensure at least one survives as a minter)


Porsche cayman with the 3.6 turbo 997 engine, built and warranted by porsche (hey, I just won the lottery) - Everyday car

32' ford pickup rod with a modern v8 dressed old school - Sunday best

That covers the supercar, the best car and the daily driver.....

Audi RS6 towcar
Locost track car
Defender based comp safari truck with an LS2

1. Audi RS4 avant (useful everyday)
2. Blob eye impreza sti (every day)
3. Escort cossie (minter)
4. Ferrari 458 (just cause)
5. Land Rover 110 double cab (for when the snow is too deep for the audi)

Not sure about the ferrari, it just tips the place of the R8 only because its a ferrari, i think i would actually rather have the R8, ferrari cant sit there and be looked at.

I could pick more than 5 lol !

But ....

Daily = e39 m5
Best = rs6 avant or range sport
Classic = Mk1 perrana capri
Super car = Aston DBS

And it would be a toss up between a 6r4 or an RS 200.....but with a lottery win I'd probs have both lol

I didn't realise I was on a budget

If money allowed that would be part of my garage, if I could afford all that I could also afford a few more but I only listed the main 5.

GT3RS would be another.

Some of these lists look absolutely weird to me... however, each to their own. I'm assuming that my missus would be rocking some sort of Range Rover/X5 type affair to cover school runs/taking dogs out etc. Pretty difficult to decide on 5 cars to have in the garage, although, there's no rule that said you can't change them.. so I probably would if I discovered I didn't like one of the cars below. Which is unlikely I know, specially as none of the cars below would be standard.

My list would be:

Daily Drive (All Year): 997 Turbo-S
Daily Drive (Sunny Days): Audi RS4 Cabriolet
Track/Fast Road Fun: Subaru Impreza STi Type RA-R (re-worked to give a solid 450/450)
Special Use: Ferrari Enzo
Classic Car: White Sierra RS500


Cheers,
Grant

That is all - but maybe a track car to fiddle with/build one my self - maybe a caparo t1? or some kind of atom - this would be enough for me
