I'd spend a large chunk on cars & motorbikes - not keen on boats & aircraft myself.

Wiesmann looks good, Enzo too amongst many others.

I wouldn't spend any on boats, I'd get seasick on a duck pond, but I'd happily spend a few million on cars, maybe one of each supercar that's for sale brand new today then build a big garage like Jay Lenos to keep them in.

I would first learn to fly, then buy a replica WW1 fighter like a Sopwith Camel or Spad etc.

No idea how much they would cost, but it would keep me happy.

I don't like boats at all, so would not have one of those.

On the land based side, I would go for a Beetle for MrsW (she loves them), probably in pink.

I would have to have a selection, and as I am interested in less expensive stuff my garage would be enormous, but would include:

BMW M635CSi
Jag XJS V12 convertible
Series 3 based Daimler Double Six
Triumph TR6
Reliant Scimitar SE5

To use everyday I would probably lump for a nice shiny new XJR and for playing with at a track a 911 GT2 or GT3

ETA I would also need a plane to carry the family about in too, and as I doubt I could afford a Hercules smile Something twin engined and propeller driven with decent space inside would do.

This would seem a good starting point!

Then a Spitfire in the hanger.
Perhaps a Riva instead as the boat, as above.

I would rent a yacht when I needed one, would buy a P51 Mustang or a Sea Fury and then have a BMW M1, an E9 Batmobile and a Daytona as my road cars.

A Catalina flying boat would be an amusing toy too, as would a Riva speedboat. Class more than pace always wins.

I don't know much about boats (though the Riva is achingly pretty) and planes, but the following cars would all be in my garage (on top of the ones I already have):


Ferrari F40LM Michelotto


Jaguar D-Type


TVR Tuscan 2 Convertible


RUF CTR


Fiat 500 Abarth


Lightweight Land Rover


Fiat Dino Spider


Mercedes 300SL

That'd do to get me started...
