What's wrong with London? I love it there and I live in Cheshire. I can see luxury living in Marylebone or Belgravia being very fun.
The penthouse I was looking at earlier for £8m in Marylebone occupies the top floor or Marathon/Castrol House and comes with 5 parking spaces.
But 8mil could buy you half of the North with parking for millions of vehicles. The penthouse I was looking at earlier for £8m in Marylebone occupies the top floor or Marathon/Castrol House and comes with 5 parking spaces.

I guessed you would post this property. It needs something daft like £100m spent refurbing it, and all the land has been used for fracking so the house is sinking slowly.- goes off to rightmove to see what 8 Mil buys in Yorkshire**

On top of all that, the nearest place of any excitement is Rotherham, the place that is only known for immigrants fiddling white 12 year olds. No thanks.

and I tried desperately to find a come back to stick up for Rotherham, and apart from it being the birth place of the chuckle brothers, your right, its the armpit of the uk.Edited by dazwalsh on Sunday 19th February 21:57
1: Bentley bentayga, this would be the chauffeurs and mine for group holidays/ trips/ dog etc.
2: 599 gto, I would use this over long distances for touring, and for that noise!
3: Z cars minibusa, I would use this to zip around town, and maybe for track days.
4:koenigsegg one:1, because who doesn't want one?
5:jaguar xj13, I've loved this car for as long as I can remember.

1. G63 I'm rich I might as well be obnoxious, chauffeur option
2. F50 ticks the Ferrari, super car and convertible boxes
3. 2014 R8 V10 plus, my daily driver and last of the manuals
4. Pagani Huarya roadster, automotive art, might just sit it in the middle of the house
5. Ariel Nomad, for the voices in my head

I found this surprisingly difficult and started off with 5 two-seaters before I remembered that I have a wife and two kids... London wouldn't be my first choice to live but if I had to stick around and work a few business deals to maintain my fortune then sure! I kind of own one of my choices already (MINI).
1. 2012/2013 MINI Cooper S hatch, laser blue, black roof, quilted leather as my city car (BMW i8 came close but too big and too flash, as did an Abarth 595)
2. Aston Martin Rapide S as my chauffeur car AND my GT (the big German saloons are a bit stuffy for me and the Aston is just effortlessly cool, although a BMW M6 Gran Coupe eould be my second choice)
3. Porsche Cayman GT4 as my pure driving for fun and track car (991 GT3/GT3 RS runs it close but manual box wins)
4. I need something for the wife and kids to run around in. I would like a Range Rover Hybrid or an Audi RS6 Performance but I think that my wife would prefer a Volvo XC90 Hybrid or if I could have a 7-seat Range Rover Sport TDV6 sitting at my seaside cottage in the West country, an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
5. I really wanted this to be a Ferrari 458 Spider but other than showing off (which I'm not really into), I can't really see whenever I would be able to use it in London. Even if I use it to go to business meetings out of town, if I turned up in a bright red Ferrari, everyone would just think I was a dick! I would still like one waiting for me at the villa in Monaco to attack some proper roads in but I think for my London garage, some kind of classic.
An S1 E-Type FHC would be very high up my list but I think probably one of those remastered Jensen Interceptor Rs with the 550bhp supercharged V8 in dark blue with cream leather. A really cool car and being a 4-seater, I could still take the family down to the seaside cottage in it for the weekend!
I realise that I'm still missing a roadster in the fleet though. Parked up next to the RRS at the cottage, I wouldn't mind one of these Frontline developments MGB Abingdon Edition Motors with a tuned MX5 engine. Pricey but very cool and just the thing for heading out to the pub top down on a sunny evening!

On Friday you won the Euromillions.
You decide to blow £10,000,000 moving into a luxury contemporary penthouse in the middle of London.
They give you 5 parking spaces in their secure underground carpark.
You do a few long distance drives a year which require a comfortable GT car.
You hire a chauffeur and so require a suitable car which could possible be the long distance car also.
You potter around running errands so require a small city car.
You don't use cars as investments, you use them to enjoy them.
What do you buy, and why?

1. Jag XFR-S - Day to day runner
2. Porsche 911 964 turbo - Just a beast.
3. Jag Mark 2 3.8 Ltr - Classic investment, sunday fun day.
4. McLaren - 675LT - Secret Weapon!
5. Land Rover Defender 90, it'd have to be a 1995 so it'd be as old as me - for country excursions and off-road fun.

I hate London personally, it's just the rat race. Nobody is friendly, it's grim and you can't see any countryside...The penthouse I was looking at earlier for £8m in Marylebone occupies the top floor or Marathon/Castrol House and comes with 5 parking spaces.

This is why the north is superior... add friendly people and good ole' hearty food and countryside and you've got it all.
Yorkshire is the wrong side of the pennine's though
Alpina B3 Biturbo Touring - Everyday car / long distance basher
Defender 110 TD5 County - If I win the euromillions I'll find a use for one
Triumph Dolomite Sprint - Sensible classic
Singer 911 - Something special
Audi S1 (Manual) - Town & B road car
The chauffeur can use the S1 - He will only be picking me up from the pub anyway.
