    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?

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 152 ✭✭wexican


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

    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 :D

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 328 ✭✭Hornswoggle

    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! :D

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users Posts: 985 ✭✭✭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......

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭robtri

    big difference in what I buy then...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,714 ✭✭✭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.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 17,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.
