Okay as I forgot my first car you can have a max of 10.

max 6 that is so unfair......

In no particular order

Mini Cooper, something old, 64 maybe
Dolomite sprint - marts old one, but don't tell him!
Bowler wildcat (with a towbar for picking up dolly's!)
Lotus Elise or maybe an Exige
And for everyday, another honda, one that services itself - like christine did, so it doesn't cost me what my old one did!
and a spare space for whatever takes my fancy on the day - which today is a fiat 500 arbarth but could be anything!

oh and and also in the garage - lots of spares for the car that need it!

...as before - no order.. and all fantasy .. nearly

Fiat Mirafiori Sport - my first car, until the floor fell out
Lancia Delta Integrale - well i had an HF Turbo, until engine popped
Alfa 156 GTA - good for a daily drive, wishful thinking
Dolly Sprint - to keep the finger nails dirty
X5 - bit safer for the kids than an Astra - he wishes
Ferrari 328 - couldn't afford to change the oil !

looks like i'm stuck with the truck then !

apologies for the ramblings, saturday night bottle of cab sav........

Yes, I know it's seven but what the hell. Oh and a big garage (double with power) if we're talking fantasy

Oh and space for a pool table, everyone with space in their garage should have a pool table.

surely you want the pool table indoors in the warm? It's no good if you have to go out to the garage to play! (besides, if we're talking fantasy, you'd have a full blown snooker table anyway...)
