What's your lotto car?

pm.

So you have just won €5 million what would be the first car you would buy?

For me it would be the new M5 competition pack with a few extras..... It's nice to dream

pablo128

Irish lotto would probably be a top end Lexus.

Euromillions would be a Ferrari GTC4 lusso. The V12 one.

Atlantic Dawn

I'd actually buy something ordinarily affordable like a 12 year old LS, S Class etc but have it main dealer maintained with no expense spared. I'd know I won, nobody else would

It would be hilarious to drop my 05 Avensis into Toyota and tell them to replace anything that even looks worn, and have their body shop look at it. Money no object.:pac:

listermint

E39 M5 and an E60 M5.

Then buy my E46 M3 back just because I miss it he odd time.


Then I'd through the cash into a fully kitted out tinkering around workshop at home.

Nekarsulm

BMW 635 csl "Batmobile" for me.

Tazzimus

Irish lotto: probably an RS6 Avant.
Also a full restoration and rebuild of the DC2 by someone like J's Racing.

Euromillions: Agera RS, and move to a country with better roads to drive it.

And an RS6 avant....

Sharp MZ700

Audi RS6 Avant on 5million.
Porsche 918 Spyder with more.

Imagine the cost probably be 2.5 times the cost of a new one lol

PsychoPete

I'd just get my 93 Corolla xli a top class full top to bottom nut and bolt restoration

um7y1h83ge06nx

Either a BMW M or an Audi RS.

To people not into cars they just look like the average BMW or Audi so you can sort of hide the fact you won.

Imagine the lad handing you the invoice and waiting for your face to turn white, and you not even blinking and asking him does he want cash or card.:D

PukkaStukka

A Carina E diesel with a towbar

peasant

Bollinger B1




and yes, it's electric

pablo128

I have always said the first car I buy if I won the lotto would be a brand new Renault, fresh off the showroom floor. I would then drive it out the gate and crash it into a wall. And probably torch it.

Did I mention I don't like renaults?

4068ac1elhodqr

Not a Lamborghini Veneno, it would instead be an old Toyota Corolla, or maybe a used GT86, if feeling superfly.
Wouldn't want everyone knowing I won that blasted lotto, again.

bigroad

Whatever car had the largest engine fitted in 2007 .just to get some value from the 1800 motor tax .

I'd still crewcab just out of spite!

Heres Johnny

No car in particular but I would set up a garage collection of some description, probably with cars I just liked over the years. Different types of cars. Most exotic would be a porsche 911 but probably not a new one.

Porsche 911
Bmw m5 saloon and audi rs6 avant
Mercedes SL

All used so not to waste it all

Actually talking with my brother the other day about the euromillons and that if I won I'd do the exact same thing with my O6 Corolla hatchback. The cars an absolute beast and has never given me an ounce of trouble especially with all the pulling and dragging she's done.

Splash out on a new radio that has Bluetooth, sick of throwing away CDs that keep getting scratched

markc1184

Either an RS6 or RS7 and also a mint condition 22b.

1970 Chevelle SS

Philb76

Always said Porsche 911 would be the lotto car and if it was a mega win collection of 70s and 80s stuff French German and ford performance models

bazz26

If I won the Irish lotto then this:



If I won the Euromillions then I'd splash out on a full tank of petrol for it too.

Living the dream!

Lewis_Benson

A paddy spec Corolla with wind up windows.
And I'd never wash it or even bother to service it.

Sure I could keep buying another one when when it blows up.

Sexual Chocolate

A toss between an M140i or RS3. Probably throw one of those new Ranger Raptors in for the craic as well.

Gorgeousgeorge

No expense spared Fully built 20b triple rotor rx7

khalessi

5 million lotto, win I'd buy a few different ones
VW splitty mids 1960s,
1976 Land Rover 110” coil-sprung,
Merc E class cabriolet,
VW Kharmann Ghia and
VW electric bus

and all my previous cars if they still exist

But even at that...you could be waiting quite awhile for it to blowup !!!:D:D:D:D

krissovo

I am not greedy but a 23 window deluxe micro bus would be my priority.

Blazer

Well if I win the euromillions next week I'd be picking up the following.
There's no way I'd only settle for one car.

Audi SQ7 or BMW X5 M550i - . Perfect for the Family
BMW M4
Porsche 911
McLaren P1
Ferrari F8 Spider
Ford Ranger Raptor-I've always wanted a crew cab ever since I watched the Fall Guy as a child.

Eggs For Dinner

BMW i8. I just think it looks amazing, no idea about the spec.

stoneill

1945 Willis jeep.
And I agree with the Ford Ranger Raptor.

wing52

Jokes on you... It would never blow up... Ever

Andrewf20

Z4 3.0si coupe plus e28 m5. I'd be happy with those 2.

I'd do the same with a Fiasco, sorry Fiat, but I'd torch it in the entrance to Fiasco Ireland.

Ahhh, another keeping the faith. Yep, I'd also restore mine.

I'd probably get one of these.



Series one example with the lighter bodypanels and the mad futuristic interior.

Ford RS2600 Capri



Aston Martin Ulster.



And one of these;



Because they disgust and enthral people in about equal measure.

And NSX Type R, second series.



If it was gun to my head down to just one? Well I already have my DC2 so that's the "practical" car(well....) so it would have to be the NSX R. The others are fantastic, but with the NSX the words "I wonder will it start this morning" would never be heard. Though of the rest the oul Capri would probably be second place there. Or at least when it was troublesome a belt of a hammer would be all the tool you'd need to get it going again.

I completely forgot about this Alfa. I had a model of it growing up, stunning car.

Vicxas

A proper Escort Cosworth for the weekends.

For during the week, probably a M850i xDrive Gran Coupe for driving to the shops...

Dravokivich

For a car to spoil myself with, it'd be a resto mod type deal of a Capri. I'd love to think what it'll be if they made one today.

A few folks here talking about setting up a barn find for the future :P When it comes to thinking of a car collection, i'd want to put something together that was interesting. Such as a 407 Saloon, SW & Coupe (my first car was a 407). Or 1 of each generation of a model of car that stands out, such as an Escort, and 3 series to show how they've developed over time from design and function. Or a collection of SAAB 93's as mentioned earlier. They were a wild range of cars and some of the design features were really well thought out in them. It took me ages to get used to putting the key in the steering wheel column again!

patmahe

Ariel Nomad and about 100 acres of abandoned forestry tracks.

The Ariel would be the first of many cars, but it would be first.

My daily driver would be a Golf R so I could blend in with the masses but still have a bit of power on tap.

I'd have a few more tasty cars in a lockup somewhere.

I'll sell you mine when the time comes!

My choice would be a Lexus LX 570 and a M5 for herself.

ILikeBoats

Datsun 240z
RS6
Golf R

I'd be happy with that!

BuboBubo

I'd pay off the credit union for the one I have, sure it's new anyway.

I'd also get a prius and sneer at people.
