Another diverse garage from our PH dream garage contributors, Dave's has an existing taste for Porsches and, going by his need for a 4x4, something for the family too. His solution to the former we can all get behind; can we forgive him the RS Q3 though? [Ed]
Porsche Cayman R
"This is my luxury sports and track car. It could be used on track, but more likely for B-road blasts or European trips. This one is a nice lairy model exclusive colour and has (for me) the all important manual box and limited-slip diff."

Audi RS Q3
Cost: £39,850
Balance: £20,155
Why I chose it: "This is for fast family duties. Space for the wife and two kids, pacy, well built and surprisingly fun. Four-wheel drive will be useful for occasional snow flurries."

Renault Clio Cup
Cost: £9,995
Balance: £10,160
Why I chose it: "The 'terrier'. This would be my pick for cheap thrills on track. I could take it to many a track day, spank it, and not worry too much about the cost of consumables. Simple, unadulterated fun."

Toyota MR2 Roadster
"80 per cent of a Lotus Elise for a fraction of the price. Here to provide some roof down fun and occasional track outings."
Third-gen Toyota MR2s for sale.
Triumph Street Triple R
Cost: £5,250
Balance: -£85 [Bit naughty, we'll allow it just this once - Ed.]
Why I chose it: "In my experience, this is a cracking do-anything bike. Can give you a massive adrenaline hit, whilst still proving adept at traffic/commuting duties."
