Default What would be in you're perfect 5 car garage?

Here is the deal.....

You've just won the lottery and you could have any cars you wanted, what would be in your perfect 5 car garage if money was no object?

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)

Some sort of Porsche, 996 Turbo, or GT3

Audi RS6 Avant as the daily

Yes, but as you've hinted it's clear they don't have a pssion for cars. I thought most people on here did!
