My Dream 10 Car Garage

I'm a huge fan of Top Gear (cars in general, really) & I've heard them mention on a number occasions about a "dream 10 car garage". They've never actually said what would be in theirs exactly, but it got me thinking...what would be my, dream 10 car garage?

So, in no particular order, here are the top 10 cars I'd like to have in my dream garage. Enjoy, & hopefully it'll get you thinking about what you'd have in your dream 10 car garage. :)

01: Lotus Exige S
It's basically a 218bhp go-kart. What's not to want about that? In black with black rims this thing looks like a mini Bat-mobile or something!

02: Ford Roush Mustang
To be more precise, the blackjack edition. The standard Ford Mustang is a bit, well, pants really. But Roush do their magic on it & turn it into a masterpiece. Brilliant!

03: Jaguar XKR
I've loved this car for years. Ever since it first came out & I saw it at the Birmingham motor show in fact. It would have to be in British racing green though.

04: Bowler Wildcat
Stick your poxy Range Rovers & Porsche Cayennes, this beast right here is a real off-road car. Faster off-road than most cars are on road. Madness...& I love it!

05: Aston Martin DB9
If it's good enough for Bond, then it's good enough for me. Yes, yes...I know he had a DBS, but I prefer the DB9.


06: Ascari A10
Fastest car around the Top Gear track, looks sexy as hell & sounds like Satan playing the guitar. I want one!

07: Bugatti Veyron
I'd sell my left nut for one of these. & lets be honest, who wouldn't?

08: Ford Escort Cosworth
Another car which I've loved since I was a kid. No idea why. It's just great to look, sounds fantastic & goes like shit off a shovel.

09: Ferrari 360
Maybe not the fastest, but it's definitely the best looking Ferrari available right now.

10: Mazda RX8
I don't know what it is about this car...all I know is, I love it! & I'm very tempted to make it my next car. It's just a thing of beauty in my opinion. & for something with such a small engine (1.4) it doesn't half bloody move!


  My pet hates!

Rudeness: This is probably my one major pet hate in other people. Please & thank you's cost nothing, yet some people are so reluctant to use them, you'd swear you'd just asked them for a bloody kidney! Unfortunately, working in a shop, you meet more than your fair share of rude people.
If I hold a door open for you...you say thank you. If you ask me a question & I give you an answer...you say thank you. If I let you out in traffic...YOU SAY F###ING THANK YOU!

People who don't indicate: Yeah...'cause flicking that big, ol' heavy leaver about 2 inches from your hand is just sooo much hard work, isn't it? *rolls eyes*

Manufactured Pop: This one reeeally irritates the crap outta me. How people can still get away with calling this shite music is beyond me! It's not music...it's a product. Made by 'the suits' to do nothing more than sell of loada merchandise to anyone stupid enough to buy it & to make themselves as much money from their new 'brand' as they can before they pass their use by date. Unless you're willing to bend over & let the music industry have it's way with you...you've got no chance these days it seems. Sad, really.

Dance Music: If it can be made purely on a computer...it's not music. A computer is not an instrument.

Sony & Microsoft: This may come across as a very Nintendo fan-boy-ish kinda thing (which in a way, I guess it is) but I just really hate what both Sony & Microsoft are doing to the video games industry right now. They're forcing the industry along, way before it's time, just so they can squeeze even more money out of it's punters. Somewhere along the line, the games themselves took a back seat in this business & money took over. Again, sad.

Joe Quesada: Now, unless you read Marvel comic books, you won't understand this one at all...but if you do, you'll know exactly what I'm on about. The sooner this guy is out of Marvel (or hit by a truck) the better for all Spidey & comic fans. F###ing hack!

The Police: Never there when you need them but always there when you f###ing don't!

Traffic Calming: i.e. Speed cameras & speed bumps. I'm convinced that these cause more problems than they solve! It's just another way of the government making money from us in my opinion. Well, not so much the speed bumps, they just wreck ya bloody car, but the cameras are anyway.

Being Ill : Pretty self explanatory this one & I think most people would say this too. *cough* *cough* *splutter*

Shaving: Why the f##k were we made so bloody hairy?!? It's not fair! Evolution needs to catch up with the modern times & take all this excessive hair away. It's not like we need it!

Chavs: I'm not even gonna waste my time explaining why I hate these twats.

Tuning My Guitar: Don't really hate this exactly, it's just a ball ache having to do it & when you can't get it spot on, it's even more of a bitch! Grrr!!!

Posh people: Or even worse - people who think they're posh but aren't! I don't know what it is exactly about them that pisses me off about them. Could be the 'I'm better than you 'cos I have money' attitude a lot of them seem to adopt or it could just be that they're all a bunch of arrogant, ignorant f##ks. Also, posh people (along with oldies) tend to be the rudest assholes out there. Which, as you already know, I hate!

Old people: Not all old people suck...just the majority. They seem to have a 'the world owes me 'cos I'm old' kinda attitude which really irritates the hell outta me. You're not better than me 'cos you're old...you're just older! get over it, buy some werthers original & f##k off!

Organised Religion: Reason coming soon...if I can be arsed....still can't be arsed.

Political Correctness:
Reason coming soon...if I can be arsed...still can't be arsed.

My Super Sweet 16: For those of you who don't know what this is, it's a show on MTV about a bunch of snot nosed, arrogant, pre-Madonna, f##k-wits, who think that by throwing a big, lavish party, they'll become more popular in school & have more, *cough* 'friends'. Excuse we while I just ROFLMFAO! If you've ever seen the show you'll know exactly what I'm on about here. EVERYONE on this show needs a big kick in the face from reality to wake them the f##k up! I honestly wish harm upon these bratty little bitches on this show. F##k it! I do!

Poor Grammar: I know this may seem a tad hypocritical considering I can't spell to save my life, but piss poor grammar really annoys me! Top of that list is when people say 'your' instead of 'you're'. It's not that hard people!
Your = "Have your say about..."
You're = "You are not gonna believe this..."
Oh yeah, & I included text & n00b speak in this as well. No wonder kids are f###ing retards these days. Wouldn't know a coma if it bitch-slapped 'em!

My Hair: It's doing this weird, half straight, half curly/wavey thing at the moment & it's really getting on my tits! But I'm not gonna cut it! I wont, I wont, I wont!

Reality TV Shows: Apart from a few specs of gold in the pile of shit that is reality TV, Miami Ink & American Chopper being the most notable, I really despise reality TV shows. Oh, & any so called 'Celebrity' shows fall into this steaming pile too. Who the f##k are half these people anyway?
Personally I blame these kinda shows for the decline in society today. People think it's OK to become famous for acting like a tit on TV, just to make some easy money & to get their face in a, ahem..."celebrity" mag. When in truth, all they're doing is whoring themselves out. Pathetic.

Traffic: Of any kind. Be it vehicle or human. You slow me down &/or get in my way...you're gonna piss me off & I will start swearing at you!

Having Wet Ears: This is a bit of a weird one & I'm probably alone on this...but I can't stand having wet ears! First thing I do after getting out of the shower is dry my ears. I hate it! Just feels horrible! lol

Vauxhall Corsas: I don't know why but I really hate these cars. They're bloody everywhere! Especially the red ones. I think it's down to the fact that 9/10 Corsas are driven by f##king boy racers &/or people who shouldn't be on the roads. So just notice them more than any other car. Either way...I hate Corsas!
