Sure, I would want every awesome car ever in the world in my "dream" garage.

But my ideal, maybe someday this could actually happen, garage would be:
1. a 2011+ Cooper Hardtop for daily driving reliability.
2. a 2011+ Countryman All 4 S for daily winter driving, or other times I need extra space.
3. a 2010 JCW WC50 for 'special occasions'.
4. a classic Mini to take to car shows, with the steering wheel on the 'wrong' side.

Make fun if you will, but I would be a very happy person if this was my garage.

1) Mitsubishi Evo 9
2) JCW R53
3) Range Rover
4) Porsche Cayenne Turbo SS
5) koenigsegg CCX
6) BMW M series 1 (if they ever make it)
7) Porsche Carrera GT
8) Sportbike
9) Bentley Continental SuperSport
10) Infinity G37

So far thats all I can think of ...
Of course all cars will be modified to my liking. I believe that even if you have the best possible car, you still need to make it your own be tweking a couple of things

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport....... what else is there, honestly?... every time you'd open the garage door, the clouds would part, a beam of sunshine fall upon the masterpiece and glorious light burst in starry magnificance off every reflective surface, heavenly music would suddenly fill the air and trumpets blast a joyous melody, angels descend and weep with joy... I love my Cooper, but...

quarter mile: 10.2 sec @ 142.9 mph

To start my dream garage collection? The first would have to be an old "Blower" Bentley, what else. Gotta get the classic first.
