Escort Cosworth (One of the first things I would buy)
Ferrari 355/430

Some crackers there, but a Nova 1.3 SR?  :confused:

3 of my first 4 cars were Nova SR's loved every one of them, in the early 90's they were ideal, bit of poke, tuneable, sporty looks and most importantly you could actually insure them, even on a YTS joiners wage  :jumpmove:
Laser Blue 3dr No 209683, Leather, Monza II's and a few other goodies...........GONE but not forgotten......now in an A4 S-Line Avant 170tdi......god I miss the Gti.

With a Euromillions win...

Zonda F in carbon
Ferrari 458 in white
Merc SLS
Audi RS6 with air-ride for daily duties
Something big, old and American...with suicide doors, velour, a body drop and hydraulics.
Ultima GTR 720 to build in the long days of never having to work again...

A Zonda defo has to be on the list for shear head turning sound and looks.  Would have to wait until the summer though.. couldn't rock such an awesome car with all this salt around.

A guy I knew from the VXR forum a few years back (he did some work for me on my old Astra VXR) bought a £1 lucky dip and won £2.2 million on the lottery back in 2009, so he had this exact pleasure of making his car dreams come true. It really couldn't have happened to a lovelier lad in all honesty. He had a nice house built for him and his missus first of all and then he went to town on buying a car or 2 or 3 or ... :signLOL:.

This was his collection for a while, Lambo LP560, VXR8 Bathurst S, Focus RS MK2 and Nissan GTR, Audi TT-RS, VXR Nurburgring and what was the first and only Audi RS6 Plus in the UK at that time. Not sure what he's driving now.  (BTW all the pics are on Google, but I wouldn't have shown them if the car reg numbers were visible ) :smiley:

Seen him over on vxro and wondered what he does, think the top lot of cars is not far off what he still has. I think he may have change the focus?

Wow that is a question. I think all of us have had conversation with someone saying what we would do of we won lottery. Personally I would build massive under house warehouse with the best mechanical kit money can buy rolling road the lot. Then split into sections for all my different cars and bikes. First car would have to be either zonda R or gallardo supperlegra, then I would buy a E30 BMW M3 and take it to the place who built the white one with V10 M5 engine that looked factory. That is my dream car will try finding link. I think I would be out of control buying loads lol
