My current fleet, which for us is pretty perfect:

Daily drive short haul Fiat Panda Twinair
Daily drive longer haul Porsche Macan GTS
When the weather suits Vantage V8S AMR Coupe

For what it is worth:

1935 Lagonda M45 Tourer
1951 Ferguson Tractor
1969 DB6
1989 Mercedes 300SL
2016 Golf GTE
2017 Range Rover Sport
2017 V12VSR M

My wife loves her 300SL and the Golf GTE, claims she prefers to be driven in the V12VS but still has a big smile when In takes it out.

My current cars:

Aston Martin V8VS Roadster - Weekends and Euro trips
Renaultsport Clio RS - commute and trackday
Volvo XC90 - Family transport

I do have one space left in the garage though.......I think either a classic or an old Lotus Elise (which can take on track day duties) to compliment the current cars.

Any suggestions on what would be a good fit?

Pete,

When ChilliWhizz said he was upset that people had bikes, I don't think he meant the self-propelled variety laugh
Ah sorry, my bad.

Current Fleet is:

BMW E70 X5 - Twin Turbo Sport - in Dark Metallic Blue
Aston Martin DB9 in Titanium Silver
Volkswagen Golf in, with the best will in the world can only be described as brown!

The wife and I share all three of the cars, however, she likes to drive the X5 most of the time. Which means I drive the Golf as a DD........But if there is no rain I like to take the Aston.

Only had the Aston for about 6 months now. Like I've read from others in the preceding replies I just can't help myself and I end up standing in the garage staring at it!
