It's Thursday and an eccentric billionaire has just offered to buy you 10 cars and you can chose from anything in the world (even if they not for sale or avaliable anymore)

Not only that but he has generously offered to pay for all the running costs, tax, insurance and replacement car (if you crash the one that you have) but he has said that you can never sell them and you can never buy any other car plus you have to pay for your own fuel. What 10 cars would you choose? - you also have a wife and two kids to think of, but you are most welcome to divorce/put them up for adoption.

Anyway the list I have drawn up whilst I wait for him to appear is;

1. Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 - White with graphics removed.
2. Porsche 993 GT2 - Blue.
3. Ferrari F40 - Red.
4. Ferrari F430 Scuderia - Black with white stripes.
5. McClaren F1 GTR - 1995 LeMans livery.
6. Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II - Black .
7. Mercedes-Benz CLK - GTR - Silver.
8. BMW F10 M5 - Blue
9. Paganai Zonda F - White/Blue
10.BMW M3 GTR Street Version - BMW Racing colours

I expect I would lose my license/life long before I got a chance to enjoy the collection and god knows where I would keep them or what would happen if fuel supplies dried up (electric bike maybe?)

Anyone else have a list? Bonus points* for pictures.

  • points don't get you anything.

Well, partly it has to be that when I was growing up, my dad had a saab dealership, and pretty much my whole family still drives saabs.
I love the way the classic 900 looks, drives, sounds,... and the T16s is the ultimate 900. They are fast enough to go along with traffic, cheap to run, and reliable.
Plus, absolutely everybody reacts positively to seeing my current non-turbo 900. Even people with no interest in cars whatsoever say to me that it's a cool car, without me mentioning cars previously. That is a very good thing for a daily driver.
I like them as well, just seemed a more modest choice amongst all the super cars you could have chosen from smile Thank you for explaining though! A good choice, and obviously a car that means a lot to you.

Quite a few gone for M3 CSL - makes me regret the range rover now! I might sod the family and seeing as I can have any car I want swap it out for one of the few M3 GTR's that exist somewhere in the world.

LOL

I'd get him to buy me 10 of the most expensive cars in the world, then I'd get them home and sell them. Then buy myself 2 or 3 cheaper cars and I'd retire!!

I'd be happy with;

A GTR
A VW T5 Combi Van
A BMW 535 diesel Touring M Sport

Thank you very much!
Unfortunately the terms and conditions stated that the cars couldn't be sold biggrin
