Current house only has a single garage so I'd buy a caterham to hide away in there while we look / build a house with more garages I wouldn't want too many people knowing I had won big. Saying that a guy on the next street has an R8 and he's a humble shop keeper so I could get away with one of those without too many questions being asked.

Aston Martin DB7 GT. Always loved the DB7, this is the ultimate version.

I'd go a little older ... a nice C5 RS6 Avant. In grey - same colour as my old A6 Avant. Way more of a sleeper than the later models. No dogs here, just 2 kids who want something that goes FAST. Perfect car for days away at the beach ...

First car would be a C63 as soon as I could possibly get it, and then buy a house with a big garage to fill with very special stuff!

probably a bmw m6 cab so I could enjoy the rest of the summer and drive about working out what other cars I was going to get.

Yep probably want to think longer about what else to get, but one of those would always be on the top 10 so al long as it a colour I like, straigh off the forcourt.

Other stuff will have build times, lead times, restoration times etc

Not car related but the second phonecall would be to Autocruise for one of their Rhythm van conversions

Thinking practically, I'm not sure I fancy leaving an F40 outside my house whilst I'm sorting the new pad, etc

So - it has to be something semi-practical.

My Range Rover will take some time in build so I'm going with something temporary, that I've always wanted and may actually keep in the fleet:

Oh dear Lord, that is a filthy looking beast cloud9


GT40 MK2 for me. If I won less than £10m, then I'll make do with a very high spec replica in bright yellow and black.

Boringly, it'd be a 530d straight off a forecourt. Pile the missus and kids into it with their gear, sack work off and just drive off into Europe to live off room service and Italian gelato until we'd figured out the long term plan (which would include a purpose built garage to house my bucket list of cars).
