I appreciate that there are lots of threads of this type but my one caveat is this...one car must be normally-aspirated and the other forced induction.

For my forced induction car, I really want one of these at the moment.



Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. Not really sure why, as they are not super expensive, not beautiful to behold and to most people are just an old Nissan. I could feasibly afford one but my wife probably wouldn't talk to me again. Nothing too mental but lightly modified and sensible power and suspension for fast road driving would be perfect for me, if such a car exists! I would quite happily drive it every day!

For my naturally-aspirated car, I feel bad for not choosing something with a bit more heritage like a Ferrari, Lamborghini or an Aston or some classic Yank muscle but this is my dream car at the moment!



Lexuses (Lexi?) can be a bit hit and miss but you know that on a good day (as with the original LS), they can make something at least as good if not better than the established players. I've never been that into Jap cars but having owned mostly European, including some "quality" German brands and suffered lots of niggly faults, I have seen the light and like that Japanese cars (despite high parts prices) just tend to work. I usually find supercars a welcome distraction but find them a bit silly in terms of how much they cost and how often I would be able to use one. I think that this one could be used fairly regularly and my enjoyment of owning it wouldn't be spoilt by coming across another one being driven by a B-list celibrity! I'm not sure if it's beautiful but it is striking (certainly I like it) and the engine is exquisite! A lot of people would say that it has the wrong badge but then that just leaves it for the enthusiasts, which is fine by me.

I've completely overlooked any of my practical family requirements but don't really care and I guess a cheap diesel Discovery would take care of them (age and cost dependent on how much of the time I want it to work)!

What would your 2 car fantasy garage be?

...and here's me thinking FI meant fuel injection. Every day's a learning day!

Integrale (of course)
Small Mercedes with a silly over sized V8 would be very nice to sit with it.

But then people would say they want something supercharged!

Right at this very moment probably a 288 GTO & a Porsche 356 Roadster.

It'll be two different cars in 5 minutes time.
True, its far too few cars in these fantasy garages, try 30 perhaps I might be able to get my real wish list in.

And then the resident pedantic engineers will argue over whether a turbocharger is technically a supercharger (or is it the other way around?)

NA - Have to remain with Honda for this one, although it would be subject to a trip to a bodyshop for a white roof and spoiler.



FI - A sensible estate car to counter balance the NSX

NA-One of these, preferably in this colour scheme...



FI-tricky one, but I've always fancied something weird, so a ZT V8 with a supercharger conversion, preferably an estate for even more weirdness factor.

FI - my 200SX, but with another 10-15k spent on it making it properly sorted smile

NA - Ferrari F50, not a looker (not many ferraris are IMHO!) but screamer of an engine, manual, amazing chassis and rear end, larini, tubi or any such exhaust. That'd just be heaven.
