The $1.5m dream Garage Challange

[Revolver]

Just thought that it would be fun to put a thread where you can say out loud what cars you would have if you had $1.5 million to play with.

Here's the scenario: you have just won gold lotto or the like, or have accumulated wealth through business ventures, property, shares etc, & it’s time to reward yourself for all your hard work. However before you going licking your chops & rubbing your hands together & post, there are a few rules to this game:

- You have (obviously) $1.5mil to spend. This is the ceiling cost of the total garage.
- You needn't worrying about servicing/maintenance costs etc; you have separate budgets for this.
- Your dream garage must consist of a minimum of 5 vehicles & a maximum of 8.
- Contain one Ford product.
- Contain one everyday use car.
- Contain one current model (2010/11) vehicle.
- Contain one Classic Vehicle, (pre 1990)
- Contain at least one high end exotic from any country (eg: Lotus Excige, Lambo, Ascari A10) [no look alike kits/replicas for this]
- Kit cars (DRB Cobra/GT40) are allowed separate from the exotics
- Vehicles are in todays prices & must be referenced. (Cars sales, Auction Houses, etc)
- Can contain bikes, trucks, or boat, etc, if you wish. (Whatever floats your boat!)
- Can contain a pure track dedicated vehicle (old V8 Supercar, Specifically built track car)
- You are allowed to combine two unconflicting rules, eg 2010 Ferrari California (Current model/exotic), 2010 FPV Super Pursuit (Current model/Ford Product/Everyday use), etc.
- Car listing must specify year, make, model, (specialty/sub model if applicable), & price.

Other than that, you are free to choose as you want.


So to start, heres mine:

1 - 2010 Aston Martin DBS $419,000
2 - 2010 FPV GTP $ 85,000

Plenty of Coin Left over! Total $1 174 480

Though the Cobra would be swapped for a original one, but i couldnt find one in a quick 5 minute search. so that would probably bring the total up to be close to the target.

But also if i was serious id probably shop around and get better prices to or wait for a better item, so that would bring it down again, but id probably get greedy and want a bigger boat lol.

[pottery beige]

[DeansXR8]

Here's my idea of bliss/dream garage...2 hours of thinkin,chpping and changing.
