Off work today and been doing some day dreaming. (as you do)

Imagining you won the lottery what would be the first car you buy and why?

My choice would be a Pagani Zonda, to me its the ultimate hypercar and the looks of it just excite me!

I'd buy back my 156 GTA that I sold a few years back and then sends it off for a full nut and bolt restoration.

It really depends on what my closest dealers have available. And whether what they had available would fit on my drive whilst I found somewhere to keep cars.

Probably a friends RX7 Spirit R.

A 997 GT3, or something readily available.

As much as a Zonda would be nice, its not going to be an impulse purchase on one just sitting around and I would want to have something whilst waiting to find the right one with a car like that.

Porsche cayman S / jag F-type with all the bells and whistles, primarily because i haven't driven anything more powerful than 180bhp, and i wouldn't want to kill myself in a hypercar so soon after winning.

Whilst i was pootling about in that (my daily driver) i would have a good think about my various weekend toys to acquire

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

I live round the corner from a Maserati /Ferrari dealer.

So, a Quattroporte, whilst having a F430 Scuderia delivered to my home. Then head over to the local OPC to spec a 911.

After that I'd have to stop with cars and look at a larger home with a serious underground garage to store and maintain all the old Ford's and Japanese sheds I'm about to buy.

As it takes time for a new car order to work through the system, I would probably two cars straight off of a dealer forecourt, dependent on what they had an how much I had won.

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.


I'd also go out and buy a Ducati Panigale full-big-bks version as well as a fully loaded big-titty Multistrada 1200.
