Money is no object and you have a garage to fill, you can have any 10 cars, but only 10. I'm assuming that most of us would have their current/dream (both?) 480 in there so unless you're going to ditch the volvo you really only get 9 choices. It certainly got me thinking.
Volvo 480 Turbo - We're all aware of the love hate relationship that a 480 can inspire, and throwing enough money at it I genuinely believe there is a fantastic car under there just crying to get out.
Land Rover Defender - classic shape, long wheelbase version for me, with all the trimmings and nowt in the back. Carry loads of stuff anywhere you want. Rugged.
Citroen 2cv - Its going to give me a bit of a festive image but I just don't care. They are like no other car I've driven, they are slow, but they are gloriously simple, its often said about many things but they truly are a car with character
Porsche 944 turbo - Pop-up lights, check, rear wheel drive, check, forced induction, check. What more could I ask for in a sports car? Yes it's the 'poor man's Porsche' but it still really appeals to me for some reason, just hope the driving experience would offer all that I expect.
Koenigsegg CCX - My fix of exotica. From all that I've read/seen it is as mad as a hatter, its everything that a supercar should be, devastatingly fast, hugely impractical, dangerous, and looks the part too. One to take a date to a film premier in (dream on!)
Mitsubishi Evo - Probably something in the 6-8 range, although a brand new one would be ok too. This could just as easily get booted from the list in favour of an imprezza wrx/skyline/other 4wd japanese rocket, depending on which I liked driving the best. Basically something which you could use like a family car, or a rally car whenever it took your fancy.
Ariel atom - The lotus 7 for the 21st century, again its mad and hugely impractical but what could offer a more involving driving experience?
Civic turbo - This would be my project to work on, and something which I will do one day, think beaten up 15 year old civic, engine swap, custom manifolds/exhaust, big turbo and DIY programmable engine management. A project, and a sleeper when completed.
Toyota starlet turbo - Again this one only just makes the cut, i could be tempted to boot it in favour of and appropriate 205/golf gti. Essentially I'm saving a slot for one true pocket rocket.
I'm going to keep the final space free, cos i'm sure there will be something suggested by others that i know i want, or maybe just go mad and buy a delorean or something, I'll edit this one soon...
Phew, I may have gone a bit overboard there now that I look at the length of the thread, but go on, lets have your top 10, and the reasons why, inspire me!
