Dream garage if you won the Euromillions tonight?
Discussion
Morning fellow PHers.
I was dreaming on the way to work this morning about my dream garage if I was lucky enough to win the £154m jackpot tonight, I recon the following would be first on my purchase list tomorrow;
1. Lamborghini Aventador
2. Lamborghini Miura
3. Aston Martin DBS Volante
4. 911 GT3 RS
5. Ariel Atom V8
6. Lotus Europa (the proper one)
7. Lotus Exige S
8. Arbarth 500 SS - cos it just looks like fun!
9. Honda Civic FD2 Type R
10. Honda Integra Type R JDM DC2
I recon that would keep me happy for a while whilst I count up the rest of my money!
Fingers crossed.

sort of off topic, and back to reality with a bump, but if you really did that, as in all these lists, there would be 3 or 4 cars there at least that you would simply never drive
I don't know with £154m in the bank making £11k a day even in a normal bank account I think I would find the time to drive at least 10 cars. These because I've wanted them for a while:
Nissan GTR
Porsche Turbo
Custom tuned Evo 9
This for trackdays:
Radical
This because I want a Ferarri of some kind:
Ferarri 458
These to be sensible:
Some kind of Bentley or Rolls Royce for my driver to drive me about in
BMW M3 (daily driver)
+Whatever the Wife wants, probably a Horrendous BMW X5/X6 or Range Rover or Audi Q7 or something equally unnecessary!

Ah, the weekly if you won a big lotto thread.
I would need to test drive all these performance cars first, how can I saw I want an Enzo without ever sitting in one?
I would have a Caterham thats a definate. Id also buy every close mate the car of their dreams and put it on some bonkers insurance scheme where everyone is fully comp on each others cars.

Definately would do that. I would rent a track for a day and have everyones cars delivered to it, let them spank them around all day before explaining that they were theirs to take home! Bet they would wish they had driven differently then! DazBock said:

In fact, the whole thing is a pain, whenever they do want to drive one they find it needs tax/insurance/servicing/tyres/is behind all the other cars. One chap is about to sell his collection and put it into one.
My list:
Porsche Tuthill/Harris style 911 hotrod
Alpina B5 Touring
(ur-)Bentley Speed 6
SS7

LoL now that would be funny, We always joke that you should never let one of our mates (Robs Nappe) drive your car as it instantly halves in value! If I told them he would sit in the pits all day crying to himself...
Hmmm was thinking about this while walking the dog this morning. Came to the conculsion that I would be in turmoil choosing what cars to buy. But here is my short list
Parked up at my country mansion
Masseratti MC Stradale - Daily drive
Defender 110 - General purpose vehicle
Zonda F Club sport.
Lamborghini Gallardo SL
Ferrari F40
and some classic of some variety.
Parked up at my Monaco appartment
Fiat 500 abarth - City car
Ferrari 458
Some kind of bentley for when I am going to the Casino or out for dinner etc etc.

I'd have some sort of Atom, but probably not a V8. I don't think I could use the downforce on the road. I'd probably have a Mugen or a 300.
I'd definitely buy a Jaguar XFR as a kind of daily I reckon, and I think I'd have a Maserati Coupe as a slightly more flash car. A 1 Series M Coupe would be in there somewhere too, as would an original BMW M coupe.
I'd probably also go with a classic Esprit, and probably an Alfa 8C just to look at. I might even buy a classic Countach just because they are cool, and I'd probably buy a DeLorean just because I always wanted one.
So:
1.) Atom 300
2.) Jaguar XFR
3.) Maserati Coupe
4.) BMW 1M Coupe
5.) BMW M Coupe
6.) Classic Esprit turbo
7.) Alfa 8C
8.) Lamborghini Countach
9.) DeLorean DMC12
