You have just won the lottery, first car you buy?

[McSatan]

Alfa 8C. I already know where one is, and how much the train ticket to Dorset costs

[JRH1]

A 5.0 XKR Convertible, which I would then use for the week or so it would take me to drive around buying up my classic car collection, and finding a warehouse in which to store them all.

[dugsud]

I'd order a Singer but it would probably take about a year to build.....worth waiting for though

This!

Also what I would do.

In a similar vein, I'd buy a Transit. Almost certain that would be the first vehicle I bought. I think my life would take a lot of sorting and I'd need something more practical than a RR. Once I'd moved everything to where it needed to be (and I'd do it myself, because I'm not soft!) I'd probably stick the transit round the side of my new barn and wheel it out when I needed to go and pick stuff up for my ever increasing vehicle museum!

This will sound lame but probably the first thing I see that I have on my want to try list.

As I live not far away from a Nissan/Mazda/Ford Dealer I'd be walking away with a Leaf and a Fiesta ST (oh and the lovely looking 370 Z they have on the front).

Never fear, Hamilton Grays prestige cars sales is a few doors down tucked in behind a Chinese restaurant and they have some very nice metal in there. That would be my immediate next stop (after a phone call to arrange a viewing of course!)

When I got home.... Car and Classic beckons. Then I'd be poor again.

I wonder if you could also pay Jay Leno some money to go try out most of his garage. He has some seriously interesting machines in there. One of which is the Chrysler Turbine Car, a car I'd dearly love to have. Alas I think there are only about 3 that actually still work or aren't in museums.

Surely more amusing to buy a shonky Nova and then go round the dealers to buy the supercars. Would be interesting to see how you are dealt with buy the sales bods

I would immediately buy a new BMW 1M to cruise around in looking for my next vehicle purchase, which will be something special.

Sack that, I'd have a 90's caprice or, even older, a Plymouth Fury for those duties. In fact that Audi could probably fit in the back of those cars.

[ewenm]

First car would be a Jag XF-RS Sportbrake for the family wagon. Then I'd order a new Mustang for me. Nothing more exotic as I don't have anywhere to keep them. Maybe after moving house etc then I'd get something more exotic/classic...

[TheJimi]

Caterham R500 or an Atom

Definitely do this. Then a trip to Malvern to buy a Plus 8 Speedster and a V6 Roadster 4 seater. Then down to Goodwood for a Wraith. Next I would pop across the channel to Stuttgart to Porsche for a 911 Turbo S and finally to Berlin for a TH Automobile TH2. I would collect all my new purchases from the factory once they are manufactured.

I would love to have a towbar fitted to the RR Wraith so I could tow an Airstream caravan for weekends away.

Ferrari F40

And when I've realised I can't drive it very well, I'll pay Chris Harris some of my winnings to teach me how to drive it better.

Really? With a lottery win in the bank why not pay for an instructor instead?

[richs2891]

Porsche Cayenne
Just to drive around in while sorted / build a new house to fit the rest of my car purchases in.

I'd probably have to wait to go really mad until I'd moved house, or at least sorted some storage....

[Capri86]

Land Rover Discovery for the wife and an RS4 for me as family transport and to sort all the stuff we want shot of and to get new stuff home. They’re also not too OTT for the street to hopefully invite burglars or beggars! Then off for a holiday to contemplate where we want to buy a new house. Before deciding how much garaging I’ll have or can build at the new place. Then I’ll sit back and contemplate where to start my car collection and have fun travelling wherever to source my ultimate toys. If it was the Euro jackpot then I’d be on the search for a Mac F1 & P1 as a start.
I can dream!

[crazy about cars]

Depends on how big the lottery win is

Top of my list would be the latest GTR.

Being a petrolhead I'll probably buy a few cars at once though!
