if money was no object

If you won the Lotto/Euromillions - if money was no object - what'd be your top 3 cars that would be parked in ure garage outside ure hotel in dubai?:)

fletch

So many choices...so many choices

cormie

All Lambos for me :P

Truck

Bugatti Veyron
Ferrari F50
Aston Martin Db9

Zube

Maserati Granturismo
Porsche Cayman

and

I'd keep the S-Max for ferrying the kids about.

fletch

Audi RS4 MTM Supercharged in Avant form

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

Audi S8


Edit - Just realised I picked all Audis!

Maybe perhaps a
CLK 63 AMG Black Edition

I wouldn't be anywhere near Dubai for a start, but money no object a Veyron is top of my list. Limiting me to just two other cars is unfair! I like to think I'd have 30 or 40 cars but in reality I wouldn't. I'd have 7 or 8 and "upgrade" them regularly as I went off them. A few keepers would be classics, Dino is one. Quattro S1 SWB, 131 Abarth, LP640, NSX-R tuned by Mugen, R34 GTR v-spec 2 with Nismo treatment, new RS6 avant with BBS treatment, new Camareo for a bit of show, One of the 65 AMG's, I'll decide after a test drive, new GTR, R8 TDI as a company car and claim the vat back on the diesel just for the irony(!), F40 with the optional upgraded turbo's - and I may discuss with Ferrari about fitting Enzo brakes to this, and an Aerial Atom 300 until the V8 comes out to name but a few.
This type of thread comes up plenty of times, just waiting for someone to post up an Octavia!

One of these would do me, I'm not greedy:

smash

Diablo 6.0
Caparo T1
tough choice between a Koenigsegg and a Zonda for the 3rd spot!

Lambo and Porsche - For the weekend/Track.
Audi RS6 Advant - For everyday in Ireland and one in the weekend get away Ski resort.
Aston DB9 and the classic bond one too (db6 was it?)
Might chuck in a pair of matching R8's one for me and one for the mrs.

Would have to get the Mrs a Mini Copper S both a classic and a new model.

There would also be a list of classic's from the Bel Air to some nice sporty numbers say a Mustang Shelby GT and a Sunbeam Alpine.

bazz26

Actually if money was no object, first thing I would do is buy an army, invade Leinster house, kick Gormley in the nuts, then deport him and the rest of the Greens out of the country. They I would bring my 3 not so very kind to the environment cars back from Dubai.

I think you're thinking of a DB5. I'd be needing one of them too.

I'd have to test drive the Veyron and McLaren Mercedes to decide between them.



And I hear ariel are making a 500BHP version of the atom...

EDIT: Dave Harnett beat me to it.


Mine would be:

1. Porsche 997 GT3

2. Audi RS4

The money no object concept and the source of all this money are at odds with each other. The lotto would not afford you the expendable cash to buy and run most of the cars mentioned above and realistically, you'd want to be winning the euromillions lottery on the scale of Delores McNamara to be comfortable and be able to sustain the the lifestyle and the cars.

If I won the Irish Lotto, I'd be parking an Audi Q7 4.0 tdi and a 535d in my drive. I like diesels.

If I won some serious Euromillions, 50m+, I'd be parking a CL63, a Cayenne Turbo and an R8 in the drive.

-Chris-

I'm presuming we're limiting ourselves to relatively new cars rather than classics and I'd probably have a different fleet in Dubai, but for here I'd have:

Veyron for the flash & speed.

Audi A6 Avant 3.0TDi Tip quattro Sport with a rake of spec for the mile-munching and day-to-day stuff.

MINI Cooper for commuting/town driving.

Andrewf20

F40
NSX
E30 M3

SV

Ferrari F430 for the flash and the wimmin pulling :pac:

Renault Clio V6 for the fun factor and the ++ respect from those who know what it is!

Audi S8 here for me too, just for any long trips there might be!

Money no object, why would you buy a car, when you could have one of these.

http://www.helicopterbusinessindex.com/?gclid=CMTd4P_cmZUCFQVtMAodAVNPgQ

No more worrying about stupid drivers, speed traps, incompetent parkers, and begrudging scumbags, damaging your pride and joy, and you could get anywhere in Ireland quicker than any car.

Although most of the cars already mentioned would be nice too, particularly the Audi's.

agent_smith

Dont really like the look of the bugatti....

For weekend fun Aston Martin DBS
A top spec alfa romeo brera for day to day commuting
For track days a pagani Zonda f.

I'm a simple man with simple needs.
I would also have a garage full of super bikes: r1's , mvagusta's , ducati 1098's.

4x4
Supercar

I like! but I would like a single seater racer too

I've always hankered after a Caterham, for years! A single seater or Atom style car would have to go on. Don't know what it would replace though...

Well, if money's no object, you have ways to cope with the day to day stresses.
A: stupid drivers - Missile launchers.
B: speed traps - buy a driving licence in cyprus/greece/wherever.
C: incompetent parkers - see A.
begrudging scumbags - trunk monkey.

Can't believe no-one's mention a McLaren F1!!! The Perfect car.
That and lots and lots of Ferraris.

Except if money was no object, I still wouldn't have a 4x4. Unless you're talking about my custom built AWD Daihatsu Domino with the rear seats replaced by a supercharged V8?

My dream lineup...

1. Renault 4
2. 1981 Fiesta in orange
3. Transit

I like the way you are thinking, especially the trunk monkey.

L-M

Mine would have to be
A Brabus S 600 Mercedes in Black
A Range Rover Sport 3.6 V8 HSE + will all the bells and whistles
A Sierra Cosworth (a proper one, with a full service history and 1 (non young fella who drifts the **** out of it) owner from new.

Also if i didn't win Mc Namara's millions i'd be buying alot more, and a shed for them too:D

Everyday eco friendly driving


For fun without being too flash


And for a classic

CtrlSource

Had a quick think and the following (in no particular order of pref) would be on my shopping list:

Merc SL Gullwing


Porsche 356B


Koenigsegg CCR


Lotus Esprit


Some model of classic Cadillac


Bentley Silver Cloud


DeLorean DMC-12


The Ferrari from Ferris Buellar!


Winnebago Adventurer

I'd totally forgot about the Lotus Esprit, had a picture of a red one on my bedroom wall for years

Now theres a car i'd like to see in the flesh again .

If that is that big yoke that was on Top Gear at some stage, with the MF3 that came out the side of it, i'll take that too

ninty9er

In Mist Silver

in Daytona Grey, with Quartz Grey sideblade


MINI John Cooper S Works in Dark Grey with white roof and chrome mirrors for the city parking:D:D

And THIS to park outside. Not the best around, but the only thing in the locality I'm looking in at the moment.

This guy is renovating and extending this very impressive piece of prime real estate close to the city centre. It has chateau style towers and is now twice the size. I'd have that or it's nextdoor neighbour.

I'm not sure it's big enough for somebody in the Times Top 100:D:D

If you were looking for something to spend an Irish lottery win on, you'd barely have change left over for a Micra!!
