Have you ever had a perfect garage?
Discussion
Quite happy with the two cars I've got, but additions still required 
. The M3 CSL is great for the weekend early morning blasts, the Alpina C2 Tourer is just a bit different. It is lovely to drive, although not that quick really, but as something rare to own and to look at I just love it. Fairly rubbish as an estate mind!
Each car could be replaced with better if funds existed eg CLK Black or 996 GT2 instead of the CSL; 190E EvoI/II or B6 3.5S ideally for the C2T. But instead I'm happy with them both, and next target down the line will hopefully be a 90s super saloon. Would like a Lotus Carlton, but they don't really do the whole Q-car thing very well which sort of appeals to me. So a Merc 500E or an E34 Alpina B10 BT are high up on the list whenever funds become available to buy and run one

My current fleet is:
Elise (for B road fun)
MX5 turbo (for B road fun)
ZX7R (for B road fun)
Which covers most of my motoring needs. I liked my fleet more when it was:
MR2 mk2 (for B road fun)
MX5 turbo (for B road fun)
ZX7R (for B road fun)
535i (for scaring up to 4 other people on B roads, and also for wafting to Germany and back for a few laps of the 'ring).

I'll swap in your elise for my MX5 
That would be even closer to perfect....
Thanks, but I already have as many MX5s as my manliness can compensate for.That would be even closer to perfect....
There is a problem with my Elise - I care about it too much. When it's slot in the fleet was taken up by my MR2 I could just leave it places and not worry. And skip servicing on it. And slide it around a bit.
With great cars comes great responsibility. Sometimes a shed is more fun even when it's rubbish.
Mine could do with a few revisions as the Disco 4 and the (company) Defender overlap a bit too much but time constraints mean the XKR rarely gets used. I'm a bit loathed to let the Disco go as it does everything so well, the Defender has to stay too so that just leaves the Jag. Maybe it could make way for a Morgan 3 wheeler...
I've not, but I'm getting close. I need a GT car and a track car to complete a line-up that I'd be happy with, taking into consideration my current cars.
Actually, I'd need an old-school beater for fun such as a BMW 1602 or original Beetle.
Come to think of it, an old Defender would be lovely to have, too.

Too many cars... too little time.
Mine isn't bad for my needs: 40 something with 4 kids and loads of toys
Modified VW T4 van with 6 quick release seats - ideal for kids / toys or both
Modified Isuzu TF 5 seater with 7.5 foot back - as above plus takes larger loads and is 4WD
Modified Supercharged MX5 - great tail happy fun
Modified RX7 - 350bhp fast, fun car
The T4 and MX5 get the most use.
