    I can't limit mine to 5. For me the perfect home would be on 200+ acres of undulating land that would have a road course on it. The house would be carved onto the side of hill with living quarters as top level loft overlooking the 20 bay garage.

    Yes, I just bought a Mega-Millions ticket for the drawing tonight. Jackpot is up to 355 mil...so if you don't see me for a few days...well you know.

    Well Nathan you are in luck. I know where there is a villa built into a hillside in Lawrence County Ohio. Land sells pretty cheap down there & it is located in the middle of 100's of miles of the best driving roads around. The local banjo music is also first class. :D

    Dang Crashton. We have more and more in common. We have a 2008 Scooby FXT completely Cobbed out (300 or so hp) and the R56. If I still had my '96 Yada, we'd be practically twins. LOL

    1. Get my R50 back
    2. WRX RB edition from the UK (I always loved the all black and liked Richard Burns as a driver so this would be a perfect AWD car to have around)
    3. 289 Cobra replica for sunny days (sorry Mark the 427 is overkill the 289 was the race winner anyway)
    4. Land Rover Defender (probably a 110 with two rows of bench seats in the back)
    5. Bentley Flying Spur for nights out on the town with friends or long road trips involving lots of interstate miles.

    I love making these lists my choices always change but I guess that is the fun of making a list and living in dreamland for a while.

    This is impossible to answer for me if money is no object... especially now that I've read through all of everyone else's ideas.

    Realistically, I'd love to have a MINI for a DD, an M3 Touring (or similar) for Family car, and a Track car like an Atom.

    Nah, keep the R53 also, gotta have a "runner" for parts to keep all the others working. Just park it on the front apron, sitting there like a mad bull dog. :D

    There is and has been so many great cars that it's very hard to narrow it to a money no object five but here goes:

    1-Ferrari Italia
    2-Ferrari Daytona
    3-Ferrari 599 GTB
    4-Porsche Pan America (obligatory 4 seated)
    5-A completely tracked out ZR-1 to hammer on at the track!!!

    Then keep my R53 in the back corner of the garage and have a Prevost in the driveway for towing to and camping at the track!! :)
