    Mine would consist of these

    A garage like this

    The 2 roadbikes I have , but the echo with anniversary Campag super record, rather than it’s Centaur it has now.
    Cycles
    Winter trainer/commute/tourer

    My ’Sunday best’ Ti


    Enigma Echo by eastham_david, on Flickr

    A 650b Turner Flux, but in polished, like this Burner, with all the Enve kit

    A 650b Ti or 953 stainless Cotic Soul, if only Cy would make one

    ?

    Motorbikes

    A cafe racer, like this

    I do like the idea of a modern front end strapped to a classic frame.

    And an R6 for the track days

    Cars/Vans
    One of these V8 Vantage Astons, for me and the Mrs to do our ‘spending the kids inheritance’ GT tour of Europe

    And one of these for Track days/short fun rides on a Sunday/sprinting, although this will cost more than the bloody Aston !!!!

    And one of these for ‘spending the kids inheritance’ in the UK ?

    What’s on your list?

    Surely the dream garage is where you don’t have to have a garage to work on your own car/bike?

    Seriously, if you said I’d never have to fettle, or clean my bikes then I would love you long time.

    Anyway, dream bike:

    Dream road bike:

    Garage, probably something like this, complete with my personal mechanic:

    You can tell I should really be doing something else today instead of wasting my time on here.

    Dreaming is not wasting time, it’s planning your future!!

    and that is a nice garage BTW

    I love fettling, as much as riding TBH

    Audi Rs4 in blue/black or a Bmw M3 the V8 one.
    Bmw S1000r Hp4 fun bike
    Honda Cbr 600f commuting bike

    Orange five Pro

    Audi A6 estate for the bikes.

    That’s all I desire. Infact a garage would be a dream come true, Infact a house NOT in Darwen town centre will do.

    My brother had a Mk1 Escort RS2000 in his garage with 45k on the clock that hadn’t moved for 24 years. He sold it 3 years ago for £1800 without giving me first dibs, the utter b4st4rd.

    My ideal garage would be undescribable mostly,

    However in there would be at least one of the following.

    Ducati 916
    Ducati 1098
    Mv Agusta 312RR
    Husqvarna SM510R
    Jaguar XF
    Range Rover
    XLWB Mercedes Sprinter
    Motorhome
    Commencal Meta AM29
    Superlightweight COTIC

    Millions upon millions of tool.. all laid out perfectly, everything in a precise order and position.
    Serveral motorbike ramps/workbenches
    Coffee, cake and a fridge.

    This:

    Got everything else I want.

    But this to keep them all in:

    Car: In uber dream land, a Gumpert or Pagani, maybe a Lambo Reventon. In the(slightly) more real world an M5, Maserati Quattroporte or an R8 would do nicely. Alongside a collection Yank Muscle Cars, old and new..Mustangs, Camaros, Vette Stingray, Dodge Charger.
    Motorbike: Easy, an MV Augusta F4 (my mate has one, its sex on 2 wheels).
    Road bike – Id have my Canyon Ultimate SLX, but dripping in Dura Ace Di2 instead of its still rather nice Ultegra. And Zipp 404s.
    MTB: I reckon an Intense Carbine 29 would do the trick.
    Waiting upstairs: Sienna Miller, Lucy Mecklenburgh, my missus (seriously!!) and Charlize Theron. All of them.

    Cotic Rocket 953/XX1/Enve/DT wheels
    Turner DW DHR
    English Cycles Superlight v3, DA Di2, selection of nice wheels

    BMW E61 M5 Touring (bike carrier)
    Jag F-type V8S coupe(A->B car)
    Porsche 997 GT3RS 4.0 (track days)

    Tools. Yes. Lots. Start off with the Facom catalogue, then add the Festo one in. All the Park & Campag bike specific stuff And some proper old machine tools – a lathe, milling machine, pillar drill etc.

    Garage & workshop (aircraft hangar???) big enough to house it all!

    Hmmmmm
    Mine would be a wood workshop – with lots of light.
    Something like this, or the one rogerthecat posted
    It would have to come with someone to keep everything running smooth and sharp.

    I’m not that into cars, so I’d probably have a race van:

    But since we’re talking dreams, it would have to run on something sustainable.

    And maybe one of these just for fun:

    Bike-wise – god knows! Lots.

    But since we’re trying to create our future – perhaps just a house I could walk around in without bumping into piles of crap would be a good thing.

    I’d need a large garage next to the sea, cos something like ‘Mine Games’ would be in it (occasionally)
