So you're a billionaire.. what does your driver waft you in?

[NotKenBlock]

Hmmm not a real situation for me.. but ive been thinking, what would i have my driver waft me around in when i do make my billions?

Assuming I have a garage full of toys in my 10 car stable in my Surrey mansion for me to drive myself. What should Jeeves drive me in to my high flying exec meeting in London, allowing me to examine the FT while sipping on Crystal ('cos thats how I roll), on my way to the City to cure the Euro debt crisis?

Now the usual fodder comes into play i guess here

Maybach


Or the record label / dodgy electronics company CEO choice of the Roller:


All very well and good, but to honest.. they are a bit.... common.

What would you recommend my PA buys for me... and more importantly... what spec and what are the best options I could have?

(I have obviously had one of my slaves eeeerrr sorry servants type this out while I am golfing / hob nobbing)

[thinfourth2]

A helicopter of course

[Decky_Q]

Ill be driving myself, if too pissed to drive then my helicopter will pick me up

A remapped 330d

Only poor people do traffic

Or work, come to that, so I'd drive/fly myself to wherever I'm next cocking about.

[NavSat]

the new XJ-L 5.0 is enough for me thanks.

Being wafted around is for poor sods who have to work while travelling...

Dont be daft, has to be the 335D for a billionaire.

Maybe an MX-5?

[Caulkhead]

I don't like being driven, so the chauffeur is out.

I'd probably punt myself around in an XJ Supersport or FFRR and keep more exotic stuff for fun.

[twazzock]

Well bigger is better, so I'll have a double decker bus to myself please.

[GingerWizard]

Rolls Royce of course.

Bespokely ordered though, with a hyper nutter button for extreme get aways, (i'm thinking nitrous, over boost, spare race fuel filled tank etc etc)

but mainly i would drive my self in a bespoke car.

In reality it would have to be the most overly specced Panamera Turbo known to man. I'd want the driver to be a petrolhead afterall.... oh and if you had cause to dismiss said driver you'd at least enjoy punting yourself home.

[mcflurry]

With all that money, i'd be asking Michael Schumacher to pilot the streets for me

Good call, particularly if you have full dictator spec flags and comedy facial hair

[Fire99]

A modernised Mk2 Jag.. and I'd drive it myself.

[schmalex]

My son's godfather sold a company, bought it back and sold it again, making a couple of quid in the process.

For everyday popping to the shops, he has a Golf R32

For long distance runs with the family, he has a Range Rover Supercharged

For going to the shoot, he has a Range Rover TDV8 Autobiography

In his garage, he has a 612 Scaglietti, DB9 Volante, Bentley Continental, 997 GT3 and SWB Land Rover Defender

Not a bad mix all in all.

ETA. Apart from the Golf, he bought them all on the same day & forgot to tell his wife about the Bentley.

Go on then, i'll play the game properly.

Either a Maserati Quattroporte (get out of the back and people assume your name starts with Don)

Or one of these, if they ever build it

Lamborghini Estoque

[mantis84]

Merc 600 Pullman? Pah, let the peasants have it.

Go and warm up the Landaulet, Jeeves...

[s3fella]

rover 214.

I'd be an Excentric Billionaire.
