What car would you get if you won the Lotto.
morcus - 30/11/09 at 07:43 PM

I know this has probably come up before but someone mentioned it in another thread and I thought it would be intresting. You can only pick one car and it has to be a road car.

I'll start the ball rolling, I'd be cruising around in a Citroen SM (Hopefully one that had been modernised so I didn't die in a fireball of death.)


iscmatt - 30/11/09 at 07:45 PM

I really love this car!

Maserati MC12



jos - 30/11/09 at 07:55 PM

Nissan GTR or a lambo of some sort


Benzine - 30/11/09 at 07:56 PM

saab 96 2-stroke


coozer - 30/11/09 at 07:58 PM

Audi A6 estate I reckon... or a BMW tourer...

Then a original Willy's Jeep...


Gazeddy - 30/11/09 at 07:59 PM

blakep82 - 30/11/09 at 08:23 PM

some sort of another road legal race car. jaguar xjr12 or something, although it would need IVAing, but i'd be loaded so i wouldn't care


bob tatt - 30/11/09 at 08:23 PM

ferrari 360 challenge stradalias in red with graphite wheels. Promised my self one when i made my first million (still waiting if anyones interested)


mookaloid - 30/11/09 at 08:29 PM

Well I've always liked the Lancia Stratos

- and not just cos it was on top gear either


gottabedone - 30/11/09 at 08:34 PM

Audi A6 estate runaround, a 427 COB for the summer and a Mk1 GT40 for in between. Stonking v8's in the Cob and the GT40 for the soundtrack

philw - 30/11/09 at 08:38 PM

Wow a hurst for midgets in John Player Special paint scheme.


MK9R - 30/11/09 at 08:55 PM

Hard to choose 1! Concours 993 GT2 or 964 RS would be near the top of the list, then again would like a lambo 640 or a new 997 GT3 RS but then again would also fancy an overfinch rangerover, a massive motorhome and a brand new built racer of some description! If only i had this problem!


mangogrooveworkshop - 30/11/09 at 09:10 PM

I would buy a 150 pound wreck and just start driving.....when it broke I would fly back and start again......to see how far we could get.
Something along the lines of a mongol rally but with loads of wrecks.
my fav car with out a doubt is a 7 probably with a radical v8 in it like a csr


StevieB - 30/11/09 at 09:21 PM

Mini Cooper S
Overfinch Range Rover
XKR
Aston V12 Vantage
Jag XFR

Caterham R500
E Type

Oh, and as a hobby I would build kits and re-furb classics as a big collection (ie, things like a DVA K-Series Frogeye Sprite etc etc)

All in BRG

owelly - 30/11/09 at 09:22 PM

I'd pay someone to underseal my Bongo and then get the plastic car painted........
Then I'd find time to finish all the other cars in my barn. But then I'd have a huge workshop full of dancing girls. And a cream horn making machine.

Stuff the cars.

Cream horn making machine ?

Tell me more.

Otherwise.

Gallardo LP560-4
Maserati Granturismo S
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
BMW X5M
Audi RS6
Transit Van - 2.0 Pinto, for a bit of sideways fun.


londonsean69 - 30/11/09 at 10:13 PM


RS200 EVO - one of the most bonkers cars ever made.

Obviously, with a lottery win it would have to be one of the original 24 or so. But even a replica would be fine by me


And for nipping down to the shops




Both are more than I could ever get near to extracting top performance out of, so they will do.

I'll spend the change on Coke and blondes


rf900rush - 30/11/09 at 10:24 PM

Lotto win and driving on the roads.

No thanks I'll get one of these Helicycles

Heli Cycle
Heli Cycle


McLannahan - 30/11/09 at 10:33 PM

If I had the space - and I guess I would have bought the space with my lottery win....

I'd buy all my old cars back! Even the Alfa...


mediabloke - 30/11/09 at 11:02 PM

Couldnt possibly choose one:
- A drophead Rolls for the grin on the faces of my girls on the drive to school.
- A VW (new) California / (70s) bay for my better half.
- A VX220 / Elise for blatting / trackdays, but spend some cash on some track instruction...
- Oh, and either of these for some sunny rides to Hawes:



Francis


Miks15 - 30/11/09 at 11:20 PM

sorry if were going on to bikes, then it has to be one of these


Steve Hignett - 30/11/09 at 11:50 PM

Even though it's a supercar and that is justification on it's own - I cannot explain why I want this more than any other supercar - Maybe it's joining of sensible German and passionate Italion in a car???



contaminated - 1/12/09 at 12:04 AM

I'd have a GT3 RS, a BMW 2002 Turbo and a Laverda Jota.


Dale - 1/12/09 at 02:48 AM

Hard to come by. But I would love one


Mr Whippy - 1/12/09 at 07:38 AM

if money was no issue then I'd have one of these handy for shopping


Gergely - 1/12/09 at 08:14 AM

Caterham R500 without a moment of hesitation...
The only trouble is that they don't come in kit form...


swanny - 1/12/09 at 10:27 AM

late seventies roller, in butterscotch (for sunday afternoon trips to the pub for a spot of lunch)
ultima for hooning about when its raining
a twin bike engined tiger (for when its sunny)
an ex le mans race car. something about a car thats led a life in the spotlight. (too many herbie films)
a 30's bentley. if its good enough for brian johnson its good enough for me.
audi a6 estate for shopping
real mini cooper for the wife.


02GF74 - 1/12/09 at 10:53 AM

For dry weekends:


To carry the shopping:



For the daily commute
????? thinking .....

[Edited on 1/12/09 by 02GF74]


speed8 - 1/12/09 at 12:46 PM

Hard choice as there's so many out there but if I kept my practical head on it would be (no pics as I'm on a slow connection)

RS4 for the missus

I'd probably keep the 996 turbo for daily duties but a mild remap for about 520bhp

Miura for the weekends

R500 for the trackdays.


James - 1/12/09 at 12:46 PM

From your avatar, it looks like you soon will have one


Ninehigh - 4/12/09 at 10:59 PM

Well seeing as we're only allowed one:
I like my Mondeo, so I'll keep that but upgrade the radio and probably fit the 2.2 tdci engine (so that doesn't count)
I'd get the 7 built (so that doesn't count either)

But I would get the missus a 70's/80's 911, or failing that an R8
