So I've just won the £85 milllion prize lottery this weekend
Discussion
(this weekends Eurolottery has a guaranteed 85 million quid main prize!!)
....and being the generous sort, I promise to buy one PHer the car of his or her dreams.
So, what car would you want me to buy you, and more importantly, tell me a really good reason that would make me pick you and your choice over someone elses.....?
For example. the car I would want some generous type to buy me is my long lost BMW Mini Cooper S Works. I loved that car dearly, spent loads on additional tuning, went to many a track day with it. Sadly I had to give it up due to finacial reasons, but I miss the car loads. I sold it to someone who i thought would really cherish it, but he turned out to be some 'rich kid' that just trashed the car. Recently someone got back in touch with me to tell me he'd bought the wreck of my old car and was rebuilding it. He's almost finished and I'm sure the new owner will appreciate the car properly.....
So thats my car choice/story. What car/story have you got that would persude me to buy you the car of your dreams when I scoop the lottery this Friday.....?
Who knows, the best story might just get you a free car - any car.

Good topic!
If you're buying then I would have to say a De Tomaso Pantera. A beautiful car with a beautiful sound.
I'd be happy to have a restoration project and then I could work on it over the next couple of years. By the time you've seen the world I may have it ready and I'll take you for a spin.
The grin on my face would be repayment in itself.

It would have to be my first ever (and only) brand new car - a 1999 A3 1.8T Sport. I loved that car and kept it 3 years i.e. far longer than any other car I have ever owned.
Still regret selling it to this day. And it had less that 15K on the clock
Probably worth slightly less than naff-all now but for some soppy reason, it has a weird kind of sentimental value attached to it.

Dear Mr Tony
I would like a Rover P6, 3500 V8 (of course) in chocolate brown, with what I believe is called doeskin leather (hard to describe, sort of light grey colour but very soft)
Reason being it was the first car I think I really, really loved. I would have been about three and a half years old and I can still remember loving the sound of the engine at idle and the smell of the leather, it was intoxicating. It was my Grandads car and eventually he sold it for something more manageable as his health deteriorated.
It has always been on my lottery winning shopping list whilst various Ferraris and Lambos have been added and removed as models are released and retired. Ok, so a 430 spider might be a greater car, but would just so love to own the Rover one day!

i would like my dad's first car please. it was a 1971 hillman imp which he bought new, in lilac [the hippy!] with optional heater, wing mirrors, and radial tyres. we saw it a few yeas ago, still in the leeds area, so i know it exists.
either of his old s1/s2 landrovers would be nice too, particularly the lwb.
as i appreciate these would be hard for you to track down, i will make my third choice a little easier - a black lwb defender with full overfinch conversion. i saw one at the weekend and i need one of my own for scaring pensioners and young children.
pretty please

I'm going to be downright sensible with my answer...(just in case you do actually win)....
You can buy me a brand new fully loaded BMW 320d Estate please in Gun Metal grey. I can't afford the running of a super car just yet, but I want something nice to lug about my bike, ski's and so forth for the weekends.
Ta muchly and fingers crossed.
BB!

There were some really nice WW2 Warbirds advertised for sale on the back of this month's Flypast magazine. Threre were two P-51 Mustangs and a P-40F Warhawk. They were all down for under $2 million each.
Put me down for one of the P-51s and the P-40.

if a Pher wins £85m and doesn't buy that then something is seriously amiss.

Eric - I know you're the resident aircraft expert, but I said CAR. Do you not know the difference between a car and a plane....? And I had such respect for you.....Put me down for one of the P-51s and the P-40.
