A pretty decent way to spend a hundred bags if you ask me! Although I'm not too sure about the Cayenne either; I'd probably go for an X6 just to annoy people.

Unfortunately my dog wouldn't be able to stand up in the back of an X6 (she's a Dogue de Bordeaux) and I'm not a fan of BMW X cars, I've driven the new Cayenne and really liked it but it's a bit pricey for this excercise.

Good way to spend the money, same idea as mine.

- CL63 AMG
- Range Rover Sport
- 996 Turbo
- SL55 AMG

Cayenne, S-Class, GT-R... is this the heaviest 100k garage so far?

I'm a sucker for those Abarth's though...

Driven one and been in several on both road and track. Would have an R34 instead.

It's more of a machine (with the computers doing everything) than an enthusiasts car IMO. Great car and the perfect daily, but would not have one as a weekend toy.

I see your point, but I've never had the pleasure of driving an R34. I have driven the R35 for a few weeks and I just loved it. I loved how it was out of character for my normal tastes and I loved how it was just a bit mental compared to other cars I've driven in that price range. It couldn't be a daily though, for that I'd may as well just got for a DB9, Bentley GT or the utterly flawless 996 turbo. It's all hypothetical and in the name of fun anyway. I know that if I really had £100k to whizz up the wall on cars if just go buy an SLS or similar but that's the kind of money waster I am in real life. I'm a real sucker for them!

I was going to go for the CL63 but I wanted back doors and I love a proper Q car.

Yes, the list made me actually rethink, I'd probably go for the S given the rest of the garage.

This 100k garage thing is a poor substitute for real news and good journalism. I thought people left this game behind at primary school

A boring and uninspiring list IMHO, and not a proper sports car in sight.

Maybe it's now, "How much dull grey porridge can you buy with £100k."

Have you driven / been in a GTR? It's capabilities are astounding and not a proper sports car? I'm sorry but that is nonsense, maybe you mean not a purists car but not a sports car?!

Plus how can you call a S63 dull?

edit: terrible spelling.

Great garage

Anyone else thinking his dog is more important than his girlfriend?

I'm sure it's a great car, but IMHO it's a coupe, not a sports car.

I don't like the dull MB styling.

[Calza]

Seems more like a real world 100k garage to me.

Too many here are just a bit daft in terms of how many cars they have.

I know what you're saying and I understand, but, for me, the GT-R ticked all the boxes when I drove it - it was quick enough and crazy enough to be an absolute blast round The 'Ring but you wouldn't go deaf or break your back on the drive there and back...

i get it's not a purists choice, but i'm not a purist, i'm just a fan of big and fast.

You could get yourself a decent modified audi rs4 or 6 and drop at least 2 or 3 cars, and save a ton of cash for other toys.

An RS6 avant would be the obvious choice over a Cayenne or other 4x4, but I like being high-up...
