5 car garage for £50k or less.

Ok we have had the dream 5 car garage threads before but this time to remove the list of Veryon,Zonda,T1... you have a total of £50,000 to spend. So that could be 5 cars at £10k each or I guess 4 cars at £500 each and one £48k but that wouldn't seem right.

  1. Lotus Carlton £20k (total £20k) It's a nice practical 4 door saloon.

  1. Karmann Ghia convertible £12k (total £32k) Something for those rare nice days.

  2. Mini Clubman Estate £4k (total £36k) Not exactly a load lugger but rather cool for an estate.

  1. Mk2 Austin Healey 3000 £7k (total £43k)

  2. Toyota BB £7k (total £50k) I wanted to add something as a daily run-around and this is just a strange yaris.

You'll certainly need your 5 car garage with a 7k Healey 3000 - to have plenty room to re-build it.

  1. Rover SD1 Vitesse Twin Plenum - may as well get the proper version - £3k
  2. Toyota MR2 Supercharger - I've wanted a mk1 with more power since I had Vamps old one and one of these (with a few tweaks and 200bhp) would be ideal - £3k
  3. E28 M535i - just because I love the way they look, and as a bonus so does the missus - £3k? So thats a good choice of 4, 6 and 8 cylinder cars for me to drive about in, next for something a bit more hardcore...
  4. Caterham 7 CSR - for track days and summer fun - £35k And something sensible for the missus (and for me to drive when the petrol costs of the other have bankrupted me)...
  5. Skoda Fabia VRS - £6k

I make that £50k

That's what I was thinking.

A £7k Healey will be a rot-box and won't be a £7k Healey by the time you've got it roadworthy.

Don't let the bar room betters fool you. A standard TP is no better than a standard SP. The TP was homologated to allow development for racing.

It's Dennis Leech's old black and red BTCC car he's buying though ;-)

Chrysler run a competition called "what can you hemi" from time to time, while in Asda the other week I had to think to myself - "Hemi powered escalator..."

There are some videos on YouTube of hemi powered chainsaws. They're umm, quick.

How about a hemi powered blender?

On a similar line they did a Hemi powered paper shredder, didn't they? It could shred whole phone books IIRC :)

Hemi powered vibrator. I'm sure the test sessions will get a lot of interest.

Then again, it's the bible bashing USA so they'll ban it.
