You've just won the lottery, what do you buy?

[anonymous-user]

Hello,

Let's say you've just won a ridiculous amount of money. What's on the shopping list?

Modern or classic?

Mint or a fixer-upper?

Well known or obscure?

Sensible investment or... You get the idea!

Miles.

I would be straight down the road to our Local Aston dealer (about 5 minutes away) purchasing an AM V8, then I would program all the specialist car places into the Sat Nav, and off I go on a buying frenzy!

Just enjoy doing it with that V8 howl, and modern reliability and comfort!

[Ozzie Osmond]

With a big enough lottery win I'd buy Lotus (the company) and try to get a decent saleable road car into production! Including a special edition for myself of course!

Don't be like that...

Until I could move somewhere bigger I'd probably not buy an awful lot more than an AMG Merc estate as I could easily leave that on the side of the road. Although I reckon a Merc SLR might hide enough if I parked it in the right spot. Assuming a sufficient win I'd buy both an F40 and an F1. The latter would then go back to MSO for a makeover to my spec.

Well a DB9 Volante and F430 Spider will be the starting point. Depending on how much I won depends on how many more cars I am looking at. I think my 50m plus Euromillions win list is about 27 cars or so.

[Garlick]

I'd invest in a new forum called 'whatwouldyoubuyifyouwon.com' as I think it would be really popular

Just kidding, I can't blame you as the forum search isn't working (unusually...)

I agree with this. As a 'thinking point' car I'd have a black C63 coupe with none of the flashy extras.

I would definitely start the search for a Jaguar XJ220 and a house with a suitable garage to put it in

[Valgar]

Lamborghini Diablo SE30, 2 of 'em, and then Green Flags best breakdown cover. And a Honda S600 convertible to nip to the shops with.

I'd buy Pistonheads and ban these threads

As i'm bored of them

[Leins]

Porsche 993 GT2, as I'd still want to dream about owning an F40 for a while

[DanielSan]

A years racing in the Clio cup and plenty of tuition in between events, and then buy a seat in the BTCC. I may not win, but sod it I want to be a touring car driver.

Road car wise would be a Nissan GTR first and then go shopping for the rarer more exclusive stuff after.

Hate to agree, but they are actually even more frequent than the 'OMG DRLs have caused me retinal damage', 'OMG foglights!!!111eleventy' and the 'OMG I HATE cyclists because they smell' threads.

[Fleckers]

after coke and hookers

a 2006 F150 Harley

You forgot the "OMG someone's parking in my spot / near my spot / on my street / in my neighbourhood / on my lawn / on my roof / in my garage / in my car / in my trousers and I don't like it!" threads...

[DanielSan]

You all forgot 'what car?' threads. N00bs.
