Best of the Best - Win a Supercar
Discussion
My girlfriend thought it'd be nice to get me a ticket for the best of the best Supercar competition.. The one you usually see at all the airports.
I didn't win unfortunately (congratulations Oliver Carter) but it got me looking in to see what car i would choose. It's a pretty difficult choice really. Now you could go all out and get an F430 or something, or take a lesser (?!) vehicle plus cash.. or two cars!
As a youngster it would be fairly difficult for me to arrange insurance for most of them anyway, so maybe an R8 and a Range Rover would be a good idea?
Anyway, what would you choose and why? Fyi, you get around £6k for the first year to help with costs. This month they had:
Lamborghini LP560-4
Bentley Continental GT
BMW M3 + £50k + Rolex Submariner
Farbio GTS400
Audi TTS + £60k
Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 Supercharged + £50k
Ferrari F430
Audi R8 + Range Rover 2.7TD V6 S
Nissan GTR + £40k
Porsche 997 Turbo + £10k
AMV8 + £20k to spend at Tiffanys
For me, it'd be the LP560-4, but sensible hat on it'd be the M3.

New performance cars are an overly-complicated, overly-fragile, punitively-taxed, rapidly-depreciating waste of money, so I'd choose the cheapest car with the biggest cash sum and then flog the car and bank all of the cash. Later, after I'd overcome the shock of winning, I'd buy something simple and pretty - probably a Ferrari 328.

Even if you wanted a GTR, I don't know why anyone would pick that prize. Just get the Lambo, sell it, buy a GTR and pocket the remaining 100 grand plus, rather than the £40k you would get otherwise....
Hmm good point, although I suppose you'd have to factor in the wait for a new GT-R from Nissan UK.I don't gamble, never have not even £1 on the national. But these ***** get me every time 
and I'm always bloody miles away.
even not winning just trying to decide which one to pic gives me such a headache its untrue.
money no object I would get the Lambo in a heartbeat!
but I'm not loaded so I should really get the M3 and cash plus I collect watches so it really is a no brainer.
However I'm doing ok do I really need 50k? that 911 turbo looks tempting then again I could get the R8 and the RR for the Mrs AArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg
I really hope I never win I would explode
