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

[Actus Reus]

M135i

Junior supercar.

I have to admire the restraint shown on this thread.

My reasoning is I would want to have a suitable place to store my collection (assuming it's a substantial sum that I win) and that some of the cars on my list are a little rarer like a RHD F40 for example so I would take my timing hunting down the motors rather than running to the nearest dealer. Wouldn't want to just go buy the first supercar I saw and park it up at my current address.

[Actus Reus]

Half the fun would be in the choosing I reckon, so I'd rush out and buy a dead cert or two (991 GT3 for example), and then take my time. With a really big Euro Millions win I'd be wanting to spend some money on NetJets to get myself access to a couple of private jets, and then also a yacht. I'd also be too drunk/smashed on coke/busy with hookers for the first few months to be able to drive anyway.

I've had a list since as long as I can remember that I keep adding to of cars I would buy and hopefully own all at once

And this as a daily/shopping trolley.

The very first one would probably be the highest spec Range Rover my nearest dealer has in stock, failing that an R8 pr something. Then drive it to london and live in the ritz or somewhere for a few weeks while I spend the moneys and plan the rest of my life.

Agreed, there is a Ferrari garage in Swindon about 70mins north of me and a ferrari garage about 70mins south of me in Exeter so I'd check the weather forecast, see which is in the sunnier area at the time and go spend a st load of money.

I'm increasingly of the mind that my first Lottery car would be a boat.

Perhaps this one:

Please don't win the lottery before me, one of those comes above any car in my bucket list If you do, then I will of course buy two houses, then look for an XF Sportsbrake to commute between them.

If you knew about that R34 and it's history you would know that the one in the picture isn't a real Z-Tune but has all the body kit. It does however have more power than a standard Z tune anyway so doesn't really matter...

Yes but just clicked on the first image of "Z-Tune". Crucially, it looks the same as a lot of cars do now, considering how easy it is to get replica body parts. Could also settle for a V-Spec II Nur in Millenium Jade.

The first thing I would by would be a motorhome. Bugger off for a couple of weeks and have a good think about it all.
1st car? Dunno, ummm something practical so I suspect a Range Rover. (how dull is that!).

[toon10]

I'm not sure of the first car I'd buy but after I'd bought it, I'd be straight on the phone to Singer to place an order.

All interesting cars... too much list but one of them is Citroen SM

[Daston]

RS6 Estate would be my first car purchase. I can then use that to go around all the other dealers

[AuthurDaley]

FFRR less than 3 years old from LR (I would still want a deal, to avoid depreciation and to let someone else iron out any faults with a brand new motor) with lowest mileage, best spec and most uneconomical lump. Would travel or be driven anywhere in the UK to pick it up.

Following this I would buy a lottery type house with suitable parking for my fleet - then I would hit the classifieds!

(Clearly have thought about this far too much...)

[Ali_T]

And the house looks like a good purchase as well...

Ditto! Keep getting very tempted on the lease deals as it is but they're a bit too rich for me right now.

Some coachbuilt Alfa thing. I don't get it either.

It's called a disco volante by touring (if memory serves)
The criminal thing is that they chop up a donor 8c to make it - the horror!!!!!
