I suspect that like lots on this site my garage changes (too) frequently but even for me went over the top by replacing all three of our cars in the last month! We now have what seems an almost perfect garage:

VW Polo GTi for my wife
BMW 330 xd as daily commute/family car
Porsche 993 Carrera 2 for the weekend

Knowing me I'm not sure how long this combination will last...but not sure how I would improve it. Any suggestions?

I gave my wife the option of the Golf GTi but she is small and preferred the Polo.
I did think about the 335 xi but I have a long commute and 330 xd was sensible choice...but still not sure it was the right one.
If you can give the Swiss police a sense of humour and can turn the GT into a four seater I'd gladly buy one! Plus I'm fed up with losing money on cars. 993 replaced an M3 that replaced a 997 on the basis that it won't cost me £15k a year just for sitting on my driveway... Having had a really good drive yesterday I don't think the newer/faster cars give any more enjoyment either. Of course they are quicker but then my speed is determined nowadays but what would happen to me if I got caught (there are income related fines here in Switzerland and driving a Carrera GT properly would cost me an amount I don't want to think about.....)

X5 - wife's family run around
Abarth 500 - my summer everyday car
Defender 90 - my winter everyday car (and offroading toy)
Caterham R500 - track car
Ferrari 355 - summer cruising car
That is quite a garage....you must have quite a wife too to have been able to buy that lot!
