Default My dream garage needs extending!

In my dream garage I would have four cars.

Hawkeye equivalent of the RCMS Gobstopper
Range Rover Vogue (totally original - no pimping)
Porsche 911 GT3 (996 Mk II or 997)
Nissan GT-R

I now realise that I am going to have to redesign the garage as I saw one of these cars in the flesh for the first time today. The GT-R and against my expectation it is enormous.

It may be that being white it looked bigger, but it just looked enormous.

I am going to need an extension.

Never been my thing

Just looked up the dimensions of the GTR - it doesn't measure that much more - just looks huge!

My dream garage has a new resident. Merc SL65 Amg Black Series. Looks nicer than an SLR to me, in that butch DTM manner. Sheer brute force, barely caged.

A friend has one, and since I let him drive my Scoob (he loved it) I reckon he owes me one

I've always said that if I win the lottery, bollox to the big house Just keep the house I've got, and buy a vacant industrial unit down the road

No need to put limits on numbers then

Just keep a couple of bikes and one or two cars at home that I fancy using regularly

Having said that, my dream garage actually exists, in 1:24 scale, It's going to have to be a bloody big unit

I can see why people fall over the GTR, I'd have one too, but all this problematic transmission talk is certainly changing my dream, I'd rather it in use that the worry of it braking.

I already have the space for four cars..... two practical everyday cars to park on my driveway, and two weekend/trackday cars (that still feel like road cars, ie. not too keen on Radicals) to be kept in my current double garage so....

1) GTR, or second-hand Porsche 996/997 Turbo tuned by DMS or similar.
2) Audi RS4 Avant (I have 2 dogs) V8 - Supercharged to 530 by MTM
3) Ultima GTR720
4) Caterham R500 mk2


That'll do me, nothing really that exotic, and probably do it all for under £150k if the first two were second hand (and a 996t version).
