Only one car?



All the car you'll ever need.
If thats all the car you'll ever need your idea of motoring nirvana is hugely different to my own, this is pistonheads man not farmers weekly or more appropriatly footy weekly.

Just occured to me really, if it was only one car, i would pick the Nissan GTR Black Edition.
Assuming we keep what we've got, for which I can see no reason why not, I'd pop up to Olney and add this to the collection.

I'd head off to the Mercedes dealer across town, buy myself a nice big powerful convertible.
Cruise down through Edinburgh, buy a nice Porsche GT3 RS, knockhill for a trackday. Head down south to caterham...

I think you see where this is going, would buy as many cars all over the world as I could smile

Anything prestigious I guess... I'd just love to know what it's like to order a new Lambo / Porsche / Aston... never ordered a new car, let alone anything valuable!

Would really depend on how much I'd won I guess but always thought I'd fancy a 911 Turbo as a good, almost practical, not too showy super car to use as a daily after a lottery win!

Ferrari 599GTO

Not the fastest, best handling, prettiest, but ranks near to the top for each of those attributes and sounds incredible.

He may have spunked it on a helicopter/boat/Playboy bunny etc. Or just bought a nicer house. £1.7m would get you something moderately nice around here - but nothing particularly fancy. hehe
neither of the above. Just smokes 40 a day now.

I've been playing Forza 4 these past few days. If its anything like realistic then the 458 Italia would be on my list.

Just a shame they have that new Ferrari issue (not as cool as the old ones plus you look like a bit of a twirp really).

Either that or a new 911 Turbo.

Suffice to say the first thing I'd buy is a large barn which would become a garage. Then I'd basically copy Jay Leno.
