I would snatch this up before anyone else gets chance! cloud9



I would also look for a Range Rover but I'd travel to get the one nearest my ideal spec.

I would buy Hexagons entire stock of air cooled 993's, then i'd buy every other low mileage one in the country before putting everyone back up for sale at 30k more than I paid. This would be lottery experiment number 1 - can I influence the market all by myself?

The nicest spec range rover I could find locally that I could drive around in to sort buying everything else.
this...

we're talking in the first hour or so! you could then sit down and plan subsequent purchases and get driven to them by your driver

First thing to do would be to go and locate a secure garage to rent to put it in... then get an R35.2 & a supercharged chargecooled Honda Elise to start with

I'd probably go for a lie down on a beach somewhere and draw up a list of cars based on location - Then start my list with an Eagle Speedster - like Mr Brundle over here:

Then move onto a Singer 911 : http://singervehicledesign.com/gallery/the-machine...

and enjoy the year or so's wait whilst bumbling along in whatever car I'd own at the time.

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).
I hadn't got as far as choosing the model of car, but my plan is eerily similar biggrin

In terms of the first one to tick off the bucket list, it would have to be this:

I quite like the idea of staying low key-ish (at least to start with), so probably a transporter van for me, an A6 biturbo diesel for the mrs/kids, and send off my aging leon to have cupra R/golf R/s3 engine/drivetrain gubbins installed for a laugh. The flash stuff can wait until houses, schools,etc. have been sorted out.

This weather does shout out for a drop top though.

Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni if I could find one for sale just for its manual and RWD set up and a lambo is my dream motor. cloud9

I would be adding plenty of other motors to it but that would be my first buy if I won the lottery.

924 CGTS or 964 RS for me. Nosey neighbours wouldn't have a clue I'd just dropped £100k+ on one either

Edit: Actually, screw the neighbours, I'd be moving soon anyway! Dauer 962 it is

Then I'd buy every other generation of Skyline GT-R, and then about a thousand other cars

One of these, followed by a ferry ticket to Holland. Thats when my grand tour begins and I head ito Europe. Hence the new car requires a full set of matching luggage.

Having spent a few minutes scanning the topic I was going to add this very car! I'll be moving house of course so it'll fit very nicely in my new multi-car garage.

Would have to be a euro million win for mine! But wouldn't say no to any money to be honest!

Aston Martin DB5



And a GTR Nismo.

Not a car but when my new house is built with attached airfield, one of these...



I've equal interest in old warbirds and cars these days
