R50/53 Your Dream Garage (R53 included)...

Ok, if money were no object.
My 2005 MCS
Smart Roadster Brabus V6 Bi Turbo
My 1950 Studebaker Commander
My 1999 Silverado Pickup Truck (taken apart and rebuilt the way I want it with blown 454.)
The last one in the corral would be a MINI unlike any MINI seen before. I happen to be building this car myself.

Some very nice choices here, I am will probably be the one that people ask "WHY!?" however these are all vehicles that I have absolutely fallen in love with. Most would have to be "restored" to be in like new condition, however I love them so much that I would definately do so.
1) I love my MINI, so I would definately keep it. 2003 MCS (old picture, but w/e) DS/B
2) 1997 E36 BMW 328iS. Just like the one that I used to have. (that's mine below) Silver on Black
3) 1994 Jaguar XJS. I like the 4.0 litre inline 6, however an engine swap and a manual transmission would be in order... Almost bought the one below, however it was in pretty bad shape when I saw it. Would prefer Red on Black.
4) 1964 Lincoln Continental. I would prefer Black on Black. Such a sinister looking vehicle.
5) And being that I had the money to do whatever the hell I wanted, I would pay GM/SAAB to build me a version of the SAAB Aero-X.

If I could keep my R53 and add 5 cars, these would do the trick ...
1966 Shelby GT350
Ferrari Dino 206GT
1966 Chevelle SS
Shelby Cobra
And a family hauler ...
Yup ...I wouldn't mind that garage at all. But, I guess I'll have to stick with my R53, Lexus RX330 and Honda Accord ...since they are all paid for and I can't afford another car.

The Atom would be on my list but I think I want one of these for my alternate commuter car--leans up to 45degrees via hydraulics.
If you have no idea what this is, watch this video

Said to cost about the same as a MINI. =)

Hey I like this one, I have had an ever evolving list for a long time. I love old European sports car from the '50s & '60s the best, so I would have to have a few of my favorites.
1. My Cooper S
2. Mercedes 300SL Gullwing
3. Maserati A6GCS Pininfarina Coupe, saw this one at the Radnor Hunt this past summer
4. Porsche 356 Coupe, but do a restomod with it, keep it clean & classic looking on the outside, but upgrade the power, brakes, & suspenion with later 911 stuff if possible.
5. Ferrari 246GT Dino, this is my alltime favorite design.
6. Finally one high powered modern exotic, Ford GT
