Literally? A silver Ford Focus. It belongs to my parents and the loan isn't paid off fully yet.

Hypothetically? A new Beetle! I think they look great and would want a new, reliable car for everyday use. Then I could drive around in it looking at classic/vintage cars for sale.

It might not be car I'd be able to buy first but the first car on my list is a Muira SV

Well, I have my TVR and my Passat, so I would first of all sort out a house with sufficient garage space (only a double right now, that's clearly not enough).. And I do actually have a running list of cars to purchase (sadly I have a variation on the list subject to value of win)..

But the first car I would get would be a 458 or 430 spider, whichever the dealer had in a colour I'd like (I would then take my time to source the perfect one later).

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

I'd probably by an M5 V10 touring as soon as possible (like the next day after getting the money). Given I'd have means but still be living in the same house I wouldn't fancy leaving an F40 or similar on the side of the road. Of course I'd start working on some acquisitions alongside.

Think i'd pop to the local Porsche garage and pick up a 911 turbo. Something sensible for daily driving whilst i browse the classifieds for something special.

One of these (if I could ever find one!) Nissan R33 Nismo 400R. Very limited run version and a bit of a collector's item.


If that didn't work out, try to get a Honda NSX-R.

Having won the lottery (not the jackpot but a substantial amount) I went for
Evo Fq300 (Kept a week and traded for….)
Evo FQ 360
Audi A3 2.0 Tdi quattro black edition (for wife)
Mint E46 M3
Supercharged E46 M3
Traded the A3 for an A4 3.0 Tdi (was a bag of st so got traded for….)
S3 Black edition (again for the wife)

Now just have the mint M3, the S3 and the Supercharged M3.

I love the standard (isn) M3 and the wife loves her S3.

Been a busy 18 months biggrin

Money no object Euromillions jackpot?????

The Eagle e-type and a 458

Wife would probably stick with her S3.


ETA and a black 348 (this one will definitely happen)

One of these for me, essentially a VXR8 with a 7 litre engine. HSV only made 137 of them, and only 3 left Oz frown

Providing i can find one in non-Jota spec.
Yes this is the same for me, although I would have to fit regular windows so I could use it without sweating to death
