First car to buy if you hit the lottery??

[Guest]

Would have to be the real car of a model my brother gave me when I was about 10 years old--Porsche 904 like one of these at http://www.gunnarracing.com/.

The twin peaks of 1963: split-rear-windowed Corvette and Jaguar XKE. And I'd go into the garage and look at them every single night before I went to bed.

An E30 325is, & then a Euro E21 323, & a Bavaria, a SAHARA tii, an 1800TISA, an E28 535is, and a M-B 190SL, just because I always liked them a lot. Maybe a Karmann Ghia hotted-up w/loads of Porsche parts for dessert. (do I get to have a luxury pole-barn/clubhouse as well?)

Or.

Really depends on the size of the lottery win innit.

HUGE (Over $100 mil) = McLaren F1, restore my 02, keep driving my 94 Mercedes E320 daily driver, get a Land Rover 130 pickup or a Gelaendewagen with a diesel. R1200GS Adventure.

Middling (Over $50 mil but under $100) See above.

Nice (over $10 mil but under $50) Porsche Carrera GT and all the others listed. No F1.

Small (under $10 mil) No supercar. Perhaps a nice 3.0 CS coupe instead. Or and Eagle E type Jaguar. Or a Mercedes 6.3. And all the rest of the above of course.

First perfect my 2002, then probably an E39 M5 to get me around on a day to day basis and I'd be happy to invest the rest to make more millions... YAY

1st - e92 M 3 sedan - practical yet sporty

2nd - Ferrari 250 California Spider - It was good enough for Ferris.

Then the M2 would get some body work, carbon airbox and Motec. The BJ42 would get a little body and suspension work, my vintage Chrysler would be re-commisioned.

And while its not a car purchase, I'd like to give a chunk to a charity that encourages/trains people to learn "traditional" panel beating skills so that more old cars are restored and preserved.

I've always liked Trabants. Particularly the tank model.

Hey Devian. I will sell you a multi-colored car. Mine is in the back and they came from the factory this way!

I suppose it's impossible to be accused of driving backwards in that on isn't it?

I spent a lotta time deciding on my soap box car, I already have my car of choice! Wouldn't trade it for anything. =P

O = 00 = O
