I feel bad for leaving out the Lamborghini Murci LP640 and all the Ferraris. Whoopsie.

Very nice choice. I might have to drop one car off my list for the Saab 9-5 Aero. Love the version before the current facelift.

Like you see I have an obvious old-car bias...Modern cars appeal much less to me... I am the first surprised to see that the SL is the only modern car that manages into my top ten...
Also, supercars are not really my thing.
And my dream garage is very, very expensive!

The 540K Spezial Roadster is my absolute Number One. This is THE car, an masterpiece with no equal. For me the most beautiful car ever, and by far.

You'll have a problem in the morning, CC: all the keys will look the same, only two types of key for the 8 cars, plus the Rolls...

I'll just close my eyes, pick a key, walk out and press the botton and what ever opens is the car i'll drive for the day. If I had all of those cars I honestly wouldn't complain

Re: 10 Dream Car Garage - 01-17-2008, 09:25 AM

That's smart. I can be long, choosing between your 10 ever-favourite cars...

For me it would be so long that once I've chosen it's the end of the day anfd instead of going to work I do a trip for fun...
So I would not go to work any more, need to sell one car because the money does not come alone in the pocket, and the tíme I've chosen the one to sell I have no house and no wife and no job any more...
