Dream Garage? Whats in yours?
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.

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...

The Cooper I have now.
Austin-Healey 3000.
Dodge Charger R/T (real one, probably '68 or'69)
Then some kind of pickup truck, probably a Ram 2500 Quad cab. Only new, not like the one I have now.
