Sorry, not an allowable option, you must chose which cars need to go, getting rid of the wife may mean even more cars may "have to go".....laugh

I'd get all of the cars in the same colour, that way if the wife ever questions how many there, you can just say ''No no no, that's the black one we ALWAYS use...''.

I'd sell a lot of those cars, and buy ones I liked. Then I'd expand the garage.

Have I started a Friday afternoon reason to slack off work and put some idle thought as to what a perfect 100 car garage would be?

That's more like it....I'm just off to get my collection of Observer's Automobiles and I'll be back in a bit.

You would do what all rich people do, buy loads of cars, generally ignore them and drive a brand new Range Rover.

I wouldn't want 100 cars.

I struggle to foresee any combination of wealth, time, and desire resulting in me ever owning more than 6 or 7 cars tops.

I wouldn't drive any more than that regularly enough to make it worth owning - and why own a nice care only for it to sit in a garage gathering dust, when it could be putting a smile on some other petrolhead's face?
