Irish Euro Millions Winner - What cars to buy

I8A4RE

As title states, somebody in Ireland got lucky and are in the enviable position of buying any car they like. Going to limit my choice, for now to 5: 1)McClaren 650S Spider,2) Brabus G Wagon,3) Classic Fiat 500, 4) Mercedes SEC, 5) Ferrari F430 Spyder

Special Circumstances

Passat diesel
A6, diesel.
Bmw 520... D
Passat cc, diesel (he was always a bit... extravagant that fella, I hear he does sunbeds)

Pure class, chape tax

Gumbo

F10 M5 or a new S8 for my daily. And a Nissan GTR Nismo Edition as my fun weapon!

Kenny Logins

520D for sure.

scruff monkey

fiat abarth 500, 7 of them, in different colours, one for every day of the week

I'd just buy a new car every day

JohnBoy26

A Corolla Terra with nice hubcaps

I don't see the point in buying these types of cars as in this country we don't have the roads to enjoy their true quality

I imagine they will go for Range Rover

Breaking my own rules. Going to to add Alfa Romeo Disco Volante and an Eagle Speedster.

The irony with these kind of threads is that Ireland isn't a car-friendly country and having tens or hundreds of millions doesn't change that. We have poor facilities, poor roads, a small parts network, small car community/amount custom builders, very few tracks etc.

If you won the euromillions, you'd be looking for a weekend car to keep here, before flying the hell away somewhere else.

I looked at one of those last week, twas lovely

If they had any sense, they'd buy the car in just about any other country and move the money there too. Honestly, first thing I'd do is off shore the whole lot of it and I love Ireland but I'd never be rich here.

Mr.Boots

A caterham and something more practical but not flash....defender.

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

A Roller. Chauffeur driven obviously.

I'd imagine if most won €86m in the lotto then the last thing they would be thinking about is Irish roads. I know if it were me the first thing I would be thinking about is how fast can I get to the airport.

jimbis

86 feckin million.............

I'd buy this just for going to the shops:D:D

Joe Doe

That low-rider sporster yoke would be rendered useless by the 1st speed hump.
Then the local hipster hoodies would pick-off the wings or mirrors for their choppers/skateboards n' whotnot.

What you'd actually need is trusty 1984 4wd Isuzu red pickup to load all the big tv's into, that's what lotto peps do 1st, buy a bigger tv...

Dartz

Rolls Royce Phantom.

Use it as a Taxi, on Hailo. While wearing the full chauffeur outfit.

Will make many people's days it will.

Esel

All of the above. And then some...

djimi

Genuinely the first thing I would do would be to ship my car back to Japan and have Honda (/Mugen?) fix her back up to exactly how she rolled out of the factory 15 years ago.

While I was over there id do some shopping for a R34 GTR Skyline

Supercars never interested me too much. Most likely I'd end up with a garage full of American muscle and Japanese power.

pred racer

Alfa 8C
Alfa 4C
Get someone to drop a Busso into my 159
And a Lambo Aventador:D

Dord

Anything from the luxonomics thread... nobody would suspect a thing.

Cee-Jay-Cee

2010 Legacy diesel for everyday tiping about.

Skyline R34 GTR Z-Tune for weekends.

01 Integra TypeR (JDM) for the track.

Range Rover Sport for family trips.

A fully restored mint 'Hakosuka' Skyline for my new 10 car garage which would also have a little viewing platform so I could go out there, have a beer and just sit and stare at it and the rest of the collection.

Pretty cool idea but it was rumbled as a publicity stunt for Uber given the car didn't even conform to their requirements to be used as an Uber cab. In the same light, he was paid handsomely to attend Gumball 3000.

Isn't there a guy who drives a V8 as a taxi in Dublin? An old Jag or something?

The first thing I would do is buy up every last fecking one of these things sold here and drop them in the Atlantic:



Probably spend the rest on a hookers and coke.

dgt

What would I buy? Hmmm....

C43/55 AMG daily driver
A Brabus EV12
Delta S4
Something silly I can shove a 2JZ into

I have everything else I want at the mo....

digital ninja

sesto elemento
ferrari 458
audi r8 quattro
these would all be heaven

quadrifoglio verde

First thing I'd do is buy a country pile with lots of old out buildings and convert them into garages.
My car list:
An Alfa 75 3.0 v6
An Alfa gtv 6
A series 1 sud
A duetto spider
A lancia fulvia
A lancia 037
A delta s4
An e34 m5
67 mustang

rizzodun

I'd buy this



convert it to RHD, and drive around with the majority of people in Ireland thinking I'm driving some 1980's French POS, with plenty of change left over.

Bribe the government to ban diesel cars, and hammer anything under 2l on tax. Obviously some certain exemptions.
Also buy every single A4 , passat and golf daysul and crush them.

bop1977

Well this game just got real for somebody today. €86.7 million richer.

Buy it. Modify it with a V8 some how (you're rich, anything will work with enough money...) rear wheel drive conversion. 500bhp at least. Keep as stock as possible in terms of looks. Now that'd be some craic!

Yup Ignited from the anti lag out the back of my bayside blue R34 GTR

A 3 series convertible was pointed out to me a few years back as belonging to a Limerick lottery winning family, it was of course a diesel :rolleyes:

I need to win the lottery for one of the run out 5.0l V8 Defenders that are rumoured t be on the way. Obviously a 5.0l supercharged Range Rover Sport as a runaround and an Aussie 6x6 Perentie Land Rover to take to shows as well.

Mycroft H

In before me Sean. A V8 defender. Preferability supercharged.

Lace it with muck and straw and surprise the TDI laaaaads at the lights.

Can't stand Uber....

Nah. A Rolls Royce in a taxi-rank would be too funny not to do. Not sure how the local taximen would feel, but it'd brighten people's days. Especially after shopping and the like.
