Your " I'm happy with that" garage
Discussion
I've seen numerous dream\lottery garages and I do love them
But in my head I have a garage (or 3) that if I owned it I would be happy and could look back and think, yep I've done ok
I'm 30 now and would expect this to be in my 50's having had some nice cars along the way
Garage 1: Aston Martin DBS and a nice Hot Hatch, Estate for the OH
Garage 2: 996 Turbo, RS4 Avant, Caterfield/Elise/R1 engined lunacy
So what would yours be?

One bruiser of a sports car - CLK 63 AMG Black / Nissan GTR / Audi R8 V10
One opulent wafter - Range Rover
One unstoppable workhorse - Dodge Ram 2500
One road trip Van - Chevrolet G20 or Dodge Ram Van
One track car - Mustang
Road Bike - BMW S1000 RR
Trailie - KTM Adventure Dakar
Best hope for either a shed load of business this year or a lotto win

My garage (single) is in the wrong place entirely, it's not too bad but restricts use of the rest of my drive so my only option is to knock down and rebuild. It leaks like a sieve and the electrics have never worked during my ownership.
This has had an effect on my car plans - Ideally I'd like somewhere dry and flat that I can do work to my own vehicles without rolling on my back in a puddle, and preferably somewhere wide enough to open a car door fully. Once I have a garage I'm happy with I really would like a challenger or something else 70's and American. I'd keep a little cheap to run car too and I don't know how I'd feel about selling the defender so that would stay.

I don't aspire to silly expensive stuff so I'm hoping in a couple of years to get it as I want it, House upgrade from the 3 bed semi with single garage and drive space for 4 cars to a slightly bigger house with similar drive parking and a large double garage. Then I'd put my VX220 in the garage next to my track MX5 or possible track Motorsport Elise, that all I can think i'd like to upgrade to. Also get a bike, SV650 is what I have eyes on at the minute. Then on the drive I'd keep the Audi barge but also get a comfy coupe of some sort for winter use, something like a DC5 ITR, P1 Impreza or the new toyotru thats coming out. I'd be perfectly happy
