So You've Just Won the Lotto.

Hornswoggle

So, you've just won the lotto, and the first thing you go and spend your money on is a nice shiny new car. What car would you buy and why?

Personally, i'd get a TVR Sagaris.




Yes, i could easily afford a Bugatti Veyron or McLaren F1 instead, but i don't want to spend all of my winnings just maintaining the car!

So what one (yes, you can only pick one) would you choose?

Henry Ford III

Picking just one car, that'd need to do everything, is really tough.

wexican

I think i'd go for sosmething quite understated, a VW Scirocco.



No need to splash all the cash on one thing!!

Mr Benevolent

VW Phaeton, no question.

I'd get myelf an E92 M3, and a Fiat 500 abarth because it looks like so much fun to drive.

I'd buy my neighbour's Lambo Gallardo for running to the shops, that would give me time to choose something else

Victor_M

Is you neighbour ever going to register it here:D, how is it so many expensive cars are not VRT'd in this country??

I'd buy an E92 M3 and an S8 or an R8, or an M5, oh wait... depending on how much I won, i would have to limit my self to a very strict budget, lets say less than 300K on cars!!(a year if it was the Euro millions)

In fairness, it only appears at my neighbours' every so often for about a week at a time. It lives elsewhere. I like to think of it terrorising Puntos and Micras in the wild somewhere.

On a serious note, some form of an M would do nicely - or maybe the new Z4 coupe - I quite like it.

I'd wait a few months and get the new Golf R. Yummy. 270hp AWD and looks damn good too.

Oh I should have made it clearer. The Golf R would be my Monday car. :pac:

If I did have to go for one car though......it would be either an RS6 Avant or S8.

It only has a straight six engine so it shouldnt be THAT hard on fuel.

The money i save on petrol could be spent on replacement engines!

brandon_flowers

ShaneU

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Danbo!

Straight to the dealers, RS6 Avant please, oh and have you got any trailers you can attach to lug the R8 home too?? Thanks

Cosmo K

Ok, I know I will get slated for this, but what the heck; I'd buy a Volkswagen Multivan Panamericana with all the bells and whistles. In black, with leather interior, 2.5 TDi with DSG box, Premium Satnav+Soundsystem, privacy glass, 18" Wheels+sport suspension, integrated double bed......

Well I'd go all out and get a Golf comfortline then

robtri

which lotto are we talking here... irish or Euromillions????

big difference in what I buy then...

no1beemerfan

A BMW 760Li in black with blacked out windows, black suit (MIB Style) black sunglasses, slicked back hair and be the "fcuk off" driver I've always wanted to be.

Henry Ford III

Big bucks? Can you get an M5 Touring? Either that or an Audi RS6 I think.

If I won €100,000 I'd buy a Focus RS however.

donvito99

A Superb, with all the bells and whistles.

privateBeavis

ElectroJazz

CLK Black 500hp :eek:

Agree it depends on what lotto it was. Anyway first thing I would spend my money on is a great big secure garage to start putting my collection in. First off GT-R, Murcielago SV, RS6 Saloon,ML63 AMG and probably an Ariel Atom

Tabnabs

I'd go for something small and practical like Edonis and spend some more of my winnings on somewhere nice to keep it.

getz

my wife said,darling what would you do if i won the lottery ?i said ,take half of it and leave you,she said, i have won £10, here is £5, now f...k off

You only win the lohho once

smemon

Wouldn't be the smartest thing to do if you're trying to keep your win quiet

I'd go for an X6 with blacked out & bullet proof windows, run flats... the full works. That way i can laugh at an armed gang if they try to jack the car at traffic lights or something

tman

I can't even drive, but I'd still treat myself to one of these!

Don't worry, no one would bother you at any traffic lights in an X6. They wouldn't waste bullets on it either, so no need for the armour!
The Lambo SV is savage, I'd have mine in grey. Also a Supercharged Atom, RUF, GTR would make the list, DBS, 599, F40, so many choices... however instead of the typical saloon choices of either an RS6 or M5, I'd go the XFR route instead. Better looking than either of those and just as quick. (maybe a little off the RS6, but not much!).
Also seeing as they can't be found in the UK, I'd head to Japan for an NSX-R, and drop it off at Mugen for a few days!
Corvette ZR1 for my holiday home in Florida...
choices choices!!
Even the Irish lotto at the very least I'd buy two or three cars. Maybe starting with a GTR.

SV

I'd be getting an R34 GTR first and foremost.

Good idea... maybe a 7 series Protection.

Definitely the Bentley Continental Gt. A Great mixture of speed and luxury.

The VRT on an 04 Gallardo is something like €60K. Would you pay €60K for a set of Irish plates?

Theta

Can I get a weekday car and something for fun on the weekends?

RS6 for the weekdays or maybe an S5.

For the weekends and Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Why would they try Jack one of those?!

Me personally, it'd be a GTR, R34 then when I need more id buy the R35, I wanna own them both someday, but i'd have to go from the R34 to the R35 otherwise the R34 wouldn't be such a big thing!
