That was the question put to me by my colleague who I car share with. After a bit of thought I said an Aston Martin DB6. He said he wanted a 6R4. But it had to be nondiscript... "Wait" I said. "You want a 6R4 with wide arches, and loud engine in the back seat, but you don't want it to stand out?" "No I don't." he replied. "I think I'll have to paint it beige"...  So, what car would YOU go for? |

Faster. Faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

 Mclaren F1 LM painted in Gulf racing colours ;D And the fact he's asking you this question does it mean next week he'll turn up with a DB6 after winning the lottery?  |

Beige sleeper 6R4....lol, sounds like your friend would be right at home here then.... I cant think of anything particular I would buy, suffice to say I would probably own more cars than say, Manchester, within a very short space of time |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

  always loved this car! ;D |

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

I wouldnt be able to limit myself to one car if I won the lottery.
For track work:
R32 GTR with VH45DETT stripped right the way out, race spec cage, suspension etc.
For road work
R32 GTS-4 (my current one) restored, and fitted with all nismo suspension plus a RIPS RB30DETT
For giggles:
My mini, restored, fitted with a VVC K series, the usual mini suspension toys, and a "comfy" spec interior
for being boring and sensible?
God knows. I kinda like the look of the new Saab twin turbo diesel estate. yes yes, its modern and crappy. But can you really argue with 180hp, plenty of space and 63mpg on a run?
Plus a coach converted as a transporter for the fun cars to take them ALL to shows rather than just drive one up.
Oh and if a supercar is mandatory? Tuned Ferrari F40

 There'd be others in the barn too but this is the one that I always consider up the top of my lottery list. Must get around to entering it one day. |

I think i'd just buy loads of old tat and a massive workshop to play with them in.
Anything too valuable and i'd get bored.
Might be nice to be able to buy ferraris and lambos and cut them up for donor cars though ;D

 Citroen M35 please! Loosely related to the 2CV, wankel engine, hydro suspension. And it'd take me at least a week to plan out all the V8 engined things I'd want! |

Oooh TCC, got a video of being followed by this across a hilltop in Italy, I'll try and dig it out sometime. If I hadn't been driving at the time, I would of exploded. As it was I just lost a leg to a minor nuclear reaction in my Y fronts. Me? I buy everything pictured above, and then pretty much anything else you can think... Got anything for sale? 'Cos I'd be buying... ;D |

Volvo, Buggy, Discovery and an old tractor.

What wouldn't I buy?! I'd go berzerk.
I'd get really drunk, go on ebay and hit the bid button without the morning after "Oh Noooo! What have I done?!"
Mercedes Fintail / Gullwing / Pullman / 450SEL 6.9 / SLR...
Ford RS200
Austin Maestro
Toyota CROWN wagon
Mitsubishi Debonair
...Then I'd buy a small town, bulldoze the place and store all my cars there.
