Two definite inclusions in my garage would be an Audi Sport Quattro from circa 1985 and a Lancia Integrale HF Turbo. Something to play about with on the local back roads. Mate of mine recently had a Metro 6R4 which was great fun!

Bikes would have to be a Suzuki TL1000s and a Triumph T595. Also like a late '90's Fireblade to hoon about on?

Cycles would have to be a selection of carbon and titanium mountain bikes and any exotic (but relatively comfortable) road bikes.

really not bothered about cars, I'll have a van or a big estate and that'll do me

I would have a bike specific shed with racks, tools and spares area, power, a cleaning area outside etc.

I'd like a cargo bike and a disc brake road bike for winter and commuting, a full carbon rigid 29er something so that I can SS my current blue one for winter filthy rides or goin the pub

A few other bikes and a big estate car for something or other.
Loads of bicycles too, obviously.

Thomthumb, love that Unimog!
For me, any early 911, just basic, boggo engine wheels and body. Just a raw car, bit dangerous!
[img] [/img]
The blackest Citroen DS I could find!
I love motorbikes, but I just don't seem to lust after specific models.
Garage-wise, I think I'd just like the means to produce anything I fancied, nice old Bridgeport mill, decent Lathe, decent 200Amp TIG, all you need!

I think I'd need something subtle,

a proper bike,

[img] [/img]

Something to pop to the shops on,

[img] [/img]

And maybe something for when it's raining.

It's a bit worrying how many of the (less expensive, relatively) choices made above I have actually owned over the last 40 years or so 😯

However, one I've always wanted:

I'm assuming we're talking "holy sh!t - Bill Gates left me [i]everything???[/i]" dream garage, rather than anything I'm in with a shout of genuinely fulfilling? Good - I've had a very enjoyable few hours thinking about this over the weekend. 🙂 This is just for starters, I'm sure more will occur...

Porsche 917. This has been the coolest car on earth for me since I was a boy. Probably too scary to drive in anger for a normo like me, this beast wouldn't do much more than the annual Goodwood outing.
[img] [/img]

Ferrari 312PB. My weapon of choice for classic Le Mans and "winning" at race car track days.
[img] [/img]
(Maybe not the most illustrative picture - but nuts was it that they raced events like the Targa with cars like those and the public that close? )

Lotus 49. Gotta have some F1, haven't you? Low tech high tech was never any cooler - elegant simplicity personified.
[img] [/img]

Ferrari 250GTO. Perfect for the run to Tesco. THE classic GT, as happy popping for a pint of milk as it is howling round Spa.
[img] [/img]

Brabham BT45. I don't think F1 has ever been as cool since ground effects came to the fore - until that point, you kind of thought that, with a bit of practice, you could have some fun in one. Since that epoch, I think they've been out of the reach of mortals - a Martini-sponsored Brabham was as beautiful as they ever got.
[img] [/img]

Renault 5 Gordini Turbo. The daily runaround - original and even a little scruffy to the eye, underneath she'd be tweaked and tricked out, a more modern interpretation of the four-pot turbo, taught to handle and stop with a decent radio. Has to be yellow and black. With yellow headlights.
[img] [/img]

Aston Martin DB5. Mrs Pondo's Sunday car. She can have whatever else she wants, too, but this is the one I know about - let's face it, it's not an ugly car, is it?
[img] [/img]

Aston Martin Vanquish. Gotta have a Grand Tourer, haven't you? The weapon of choice for runs to the yacht parked in Monaco harbour. Might even be tempted by the Volante, if that's not too hairdresser - metallic BRG, either way.
[img] [/img]

Caterham 7 620R. The hooliganmobile. For track days and the odd bit of Sunday lettin-her-rip action.
Probably not in purple.
[img] [/img]

Triumph Speed Triple R. The everyday road bike. Not a pretty bike but versatile, fast and fun - white please.
[img] [/img]

Aprilia RS250. Old-school hooligan tool. Uncompromised giggle machine, suitable for track days and sunny summer runs.
[img] [/img]

KTM SX125. If I fancy a bit of motocross, that's the tool for me. Four strokes are for sight-seeing - if you want a race bike, pre-mix is the way forward. Do they still do a 125 SXS...?
[img] [/img]

Ducati Desmosedici. If you're going to have a track bike, have a track bike. Although a CBR600 may be a smidge more accessible.
[img] [/img]

Vincent Black Lightning. My old dad had a Black Shadow back in the day, and I always thought that was the coolest retro bike. The Lightning was a slightly hotter and muc rarer version - only 30-odd ever made.
[img] [/img]

The cafe racer. Gotta have a cafe racer, innit?
[img] [/img]

Suzuki RM125/250. My evo 'crossers - Rob Herring was my hero as a boy, so I'd have a brace of '89s made up in TTS livery for Evo racing. (Thinking about it, that might be '90 as I think he was number 5 in '89)
[img] [/img]

Colnago C59. Touch of class.
[img] [/img]

Orange Five 29er. The full sus XC bike. Always had a soft spot for Orange.
[img] [/img]

Yeti 303 WC. The downhill tool. If it's downhill we're talking,
John Tomac is my reference point. Although this thing doesn't look right without dropped handlebars.
[img] [/img]

Stanton Slackline Ti. Gotta have something in Ti, haven't you - the hardtail seems the perfect choice.
[img] [/img]

Orange C16r. The retro ride. And the one thing in this list I already have.
[img] http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSj_5GZHzsdsG1LpxNweXx87hY--mej3dVVq5uzj_H5C50r3hKLi29uVndo [/img]
(Not my frame, but same colour)

To put it all, a garage a bit like Jay Leno's -
[img] [/img]
It'll need to be that big to fit the Beechcraft and the Augusta.

And to finish it off, one of these.

Moto Guzzi MGS 01 & a van to take it to various tracks over the year would do me 🙂

I was thinking of more the later, i.e. have a chance of filling, with me it would have to be well into retirement though 🙁

But your list pondo is awesome and that Lotus is truly a thing of beauty.

Keep em coming, STW doesn't seem to have too many dreamers 😕

Great list Pondo but an SX150 is what you need, not the 125. 😉
