Ok so this might not be entirely MINI related but, with an unlimited bank acount what are the top 10 cars you would WANT to own? Would you fill it with exotics, luxo-wagons, trucks, or a mix of all of the above? Would there still be a MINI hidden in a corner, or would the higher end autos take over its space? Would you still feel the need to modify everything you own?

Make a list, try not to think about how many cars are on it just ramble off your top 10 picks, the results might surprise some people.

Since I asked I will start:
1)2009 Lotus Exige S240, Honda K-swaped and built
2)1968 Plymouth Road Runner, Street machine Resto Mod
3)Some sort of all custom tube frame Rock Buggy
4)Ferrari F355 hard top 6Speed NOT the F1, STOCK(maby)
5)2010 Dodge Ram 2500 4 Door with the Cummins and enough lift to fit 37's
6)R53 MINI Cooper S, Built for serious track duty, but still street legalish
7)Early 80's Morris mini, rear mounted turbo honda swap
8)Austin Martin DB9, Stock, unless the machine guns and rockets arent on the options list.
9)Peterbilt 379 with full sleeper lots of chrome and lights + matching trailer to haul my toys
10)Custom cabed Chevy DuraMax with 6 doors and a short bed, huge rubber,
and lots of lift

Let the lists continue

 

Alright. So.

1) "R53 MINI Cooper S, Built for serious track duty, but still street legalish"
2) Aston Martin DBS
3) Nissan GT-R
4) Buggati Veyron (I mean its a dream garage right? Might as well have the worlds fastest car)
5)Vauxhall VXR-8 Bathhurst Edition. (Because the super charger whine is ridiculously loud)
6&7) The Fiat Panda Limo from top gear.
8) Bradley M2 IFV (for some light target practice)
9)Tesla
10) Honda FCX Clarity


I have to leave for work, ill finish it later =)

2. 1963 Mini Cooper S (Red/White)
3. The Heuliez Pregunta
4. AEV Brute Jeep Wrangler Rubicon pickup truck
5. a Tony Kanaan 7-Eleven IRL Dallara-Honda

I would feel bad having more than 5 cars. Maybe 6, if I ever needed a Subaru for family transportation.

 

1. 1986 BMW M3 E30
2. My 2006 Ram SRT10 (wish i never sold it) 547 RWHP 590 RWTQ
3. 1972 BMW 2002 Tii
4. 2010 Ducati Superbike 1198 R Corse Special Edition
5.1966 427 Cobra - - 12.20 sec @ 118 mph - - 427 8V - - 425 - - 4-Speed
6. R53 built for Mulholland Dr. wink wink.
7. Koenigsegg CCX (google it )

 

1. 288 Ferrari GTO
2. Mercedes SL Gullwing
3. Ferrari Enzo converted to 3 pedals
4. E30 M3
5. Porsche 911
6. JCW R56
7. Classic Mini
8. Lotus Exige S 240
9. Toyota AE86
10. My R56 Benny he stays.

 

No googling needed for #7. They are KILLER

1. My R53 modded to my taste
2. Lotus Elise modded to my taste
3. Lamborghini Reventon
4. Francois Duval's 2008 Ford Focus RS WRC
5. Ferrari BB 512 (red, of course)
6. Ferrari FXX (mainly for the sound it makes)
7. 1977 black/gold Pontiac Trans Am
8. Bughatti Veyron

That feels good. Now let's talk motorcycles...

 

I could honestly keep it at about 4. There are some that are nice to look at, and have good exhaust notes, but they just aren't for me. I've posted in other threads like this before, kind of lost the list, but I'm more practical in my choices than I used to be.

1. My MCS, with it's engine rebuilt.

2. Any Caterham, preferably the R500

3. An early 90's Rover Mini Sprite in stock form

4. A Cream White base Porsche 997, no turbo nonsense

 

man I don't even like to think about the stuff I cannot have.

For right now I'd be content with A. a garage (I have to park outside) and B. my MINI. It's been at my boyfriend's house getting the stereo installed and Sub box made for two weeks now. I get it back this weekend :D

#7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2nbp...layer_embedded

 

If I had a garage to begin with, I'd choose just one:

Ferarri 275 GTO


At least the 288 is theoretically affordable.

 

Must add "Top Gear Wing" to the CCX

 

I would make my garage to be 100% like Jay Leno's...with no changes what-so-ever.

But, if I could only hold 1 car...Astin Martin DBS or DB9...I'm not picky, I just think it's the best looking car out there.

 

I'm a huge car nut.. and have played this over in my head a billion times before the thread. It'd be hard to have just ten that I'd KEEP. it would almost have to be a revolving garage.. like every 2 or 3yrs you switch a couple of them around.. but anyways.. heres my eclectic idea of what I'd like. Today.

1) my 2009 S modded to my liking ( 250hp JCW clone)
2) My 1986 GLH-T done to my liking or maybe scrub it for a numbered GLH-S
3) 1968 California Special (390 4spd)
4) 1967 GTX 440 4spd
5) 1962 Belair with a 409/4spd
6) 1988 e30 M3 Evo
7) 1964 corvair corsa (with the 180hp rajay turbo kit)
8) 1970 Bmw 2002ti
9) 2010 M135i (done up by say.. Dinan)
10) 55' 2dr post shoebox

 

1) Spyker C8 Aileron
2) Lotus Exige S
3) Pre-06 MCS with JCW
4) Rossion Q1
5) Ferrari 458 italia (I know it's a "baby Ferrari", but I love the lines)
6) Lamborghini Murcielago 670 SV (suspected last of the SV series)
7) Aerial Atom 500

The unrealistic ones:
8) Tramontana (should google this one! A Mercedes 5.5 V12 producing 750 hp and yes it has a clutch with a 6-speed sequential shifter and only weighs ~2700lbs)
9) Pigani Zonda F

 

1) dark silver JCW with spoiler and the engine as powerful as can be without making the car just sit and spin its tires!
2) BRG 1972 Mini Countryman cuz I've got a Clubbie and would literally kill to have the original.
3) Lotus Esprit Turbo in officer-arrest-me-red
4) Vector W8 in black with the optional 1,000-hp engine upgrade kit
5) Land Rover Defender series III
6) 1969 Ferrari Daytona convertible in Ferrari red
7) 1992 Mercedes 500E with the engine upgraded to 400 hp and all the badges removed so nobody will know that no matter what Mercedes they have, they'll be smoked at the drag strip! In fact, an aftermarket company made converted 190 series Mercedes that could beat a Lamborghini over a 100-mile race! I wish I had never lost the magazine with that article. I think it was Sports Car Illustrated, which may have gone bankrupt.

And a car that nobody thought existed: A Renault team Williams edition Espace. If you haven't heard of it before, I'm not surprised as Renault did it just for the heck of it. They were supplying the Williams F1 team with engines at the time and someone hit upon the idea of putting on in the back of a minivan just to see how fast it could go. We're talking a 3-liter V-10 putting out 800 horsepower. Yes, eight hundred. (Well, you can never have too much can you?) Renault claimed the van should be capable of almost 180 mph! That means it was almost as fast as the F1 car that shared its engine! And yes, the huge rear wing was needed to keep the van from lifting off!

This is a fun question, which I think about often

10 cars is kind of more than I'd want, but if I have to, I think this is what it'd be: (in no particular order)

1) MINI Cooper S (R56)
-My current MINI, modded heavily of course
2) MINI Cooper S JCW GP (R53)
-Would most likely stay stock, and I would NEVER sell it
3) Mercedes E63 AMG
-For civilized daily driving
4) Porsche 997 GT3 RS
-In Signal Green w/black
5) Porsche 997 Turbo
-Would be modded heavily, stupid fast
6) Porsche Cayenne GTS
-My around town SUV
7) Range Rover Supercharged
-A true SUV, that can go off-road and look good doing it
8) Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
-Track car
-Needs to be Nero Black w/ White stripe
9) Ferrari 430 Spider
-My weekend covertible
-Probably would be Nero Black (I have a huge thing for black Ferrari's)
10) Ferrari 458
-Just because it's the newest Ferrari, and they are ridiculously faster/better than the previous 430
-Color would be Bianco Fuji


In addition, I've always said that if I was in the position to do so I would seek the cleanest example of every BMW M car model made. I wouldn't really drive them regularly, but mainly just keep them for show. They have so much history and soul behind them.

Which also explains the reasoning behind having 3 Ferrari's and 3 Porsche's...they just have so much soul. Something the Lamborghini's lack in my opinion. (That could start a huge debate...but really nothing can beat the soul, passion, and history behind a Ferrari)

 

1 My modded Mini
2 Porsche 911
3 Lingenfelter Corvette
4 BMW M5
5 Ford F250 (for my horses lol)

 

Koenigsegg CCXR

6) 1970 Hemicuda
