My garage would consist of,
1. MK BEC
2. Replica 1998 BTCC vauxhall Vectra Super tourer.
3. Jap Drifting car
4. Motorcross bike
5. Minimoto
6. Aston Martin DB9RR
And the list could go on and on!

Just to agree with Joel, I wouldn't have any cars in my garage, just a pile of steel tube, welder, stack of engines etc.

The list could go on forever, to limit it to 5;
1. Caterham R500 Evo
2. RS6 Avant
3. Aston Martin V8 Vantage LM600
4. Shelby Mustang GT350
5. Ducati 996 (Yellow!)
There is about 10 cars that could go in my top 5. These are the ones that came to me first.
Im planning on building a new garage under my parents barn soon, just need to save up for the machinery to go in it!
Downside is might have to move closer to them!

I would just like one I could get three cars in side by side, (instead of one behind the other). Oh, and room for a Harley Davison Electroglide,
(SWIMBO wont let me have one, ) Regards, Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Obviously a Seven of some sort, an Ultima, class 8, 9, 10, 3 and 7 autograss cars, supercharged ls1 powered range rover classic (pref 2 door), my new
"unusual" tow car idea, spaceframe manta 400 lookalike supercharged cosworth 24v v6 4x4, a couple of bike engine karts, and either an Audi
RS6 or Subaru Legacy outback turbo depending on how old I was feeling as a daily driver.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

i couldnt spec dream garage. If i had that sort of cash id like to try loads of exotica.
In terms of building - it would be a 4 car garage. Downstairs would have reception area with seating, coffee maker, audio visual etc (ie huffy house
if youre common). The car bit would be plastered and painted (probs white), well lit, nice flooring. Might even have a vatelting bay with plumbed in
power washer, drains, central vac system etc).
Upstairs would be workshop. Road round to the back and a 3 tonne lift to get cars up there. Inside a 4 poster workshop bay, spotless flooring, roll
cabs along 1 wall with the best tools all neatly stored. At the end a full machine shop. Oh and efficient heating system.
The outside of the building would resemble an old oak framed stone barn with fantastic rustic roof.
I might consider single level (ie cars in front with second door inside to the workshop area) and use the upstairs as warehouse, huffy area etc.
