Post by: rich83 on March 18, 2013, 08:51:14 am: Golf......you've won the lottery and you'd buy a golf??? WTF!!

I'd buy an RS4.0 straight away
RS6 touring barge with some mods to make it very rapid
Something for track days, maybe a ginetta or a radical... And a trailer

I'd also probably keep the ed30 and write Alex at aks a blank cheque....and let him loose

If it was a euro millions win I think I'd buy about 10 cars and an R would be one of them.

Not a Golf.

Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
McLaren MP4-12C
Audi RS6 for wafting about in and ferrying the dogs
VW California with every conceiveable option

Always wanted an M3 so one of those.
And maybe a Lambo Aventador.

A Golf R would be awesome as a daily.

TBH I'd secure a house first and then worry about the cars. No point buying all them cars if they're gonna get nicked/vandalised the moment you park up.

Going to take a while to order and source them all though. If you find a house you could be moved in within 4-5 weeks if you were a cash buyer with no chain! :happy2:

Post by: Tamiyoman on March 18, 2013, 05:07:37 pm: Order the cars, pay for them and have manufacturers store them, house takes only 4 weeks as stated (I bought my last house in 4 weeks from offer to completion), if you havew that much money you can afford secure storage lol

Post by: Gtiain on March 18, 2013, 05:46:36 pm: Forgot about the aventador :driver:

The one they had on topgear was immense, the acceleration was brutal! And as much as I like topgear I don't agree with their theory that Lamborghini's have to be bad to be good.

Rage buggie - off road

Golf R would'nt even cross my mind :stupid:
Title: Re: You've won the lottery, what cars do you buy?
Post by: Bane on March 18, 2013, 07:09:29 pm: None of the above.
I wouldn't have a supercar.I'd buy a bigger house and spend some on building a big shed/workshop and fill it with the entire contents of Teng's catalogue.I would have a mezzanine level thats just a blokes den...jukebox, big screen projection system with full dolby surround sound,beer fridge and so on.
Then I would have all the MK's of Golf in totally standard,but concourse detail,including a Rallye and a Corrado or two.
Then,I would have a V8 Landie,specced out with a high lift and big tyres to get me places in the winter.
If I wanted a speed fix,then I'm sure I could afford a private helicopter to take me to a track and hire the car of my choosing to thrap around for a while.
Lastly,there would be a General Lee replica tucked away in a corner,just cos I could. :P

Its much more fun driving a highly modified car that has supercar speed. That blue old shape S3 video that was knocking about is the perfect example of what I'd do as I would buy lots of cars and modify them to within a inch of their life. And then have a fleet of suped up Evo's for me and all of my mates to go thrashing round a track! :driver:

Post by: driver rider on March 22, 2013, 01:40:32 am: If i won the lottery I can honestly say the hypercars would do nothing for me neither the "exotic" they're finicially ruinous to run and not all that practical. I dont want to drain my winnings. I'd probably hire the hypercars and exotics for a week and hand the keys back.

I'd buy the latest of these models

911 GT2 RS or possibly 991 turbo S (and I'd have it in pdk thank you) as my weapon for fast road driving

Audi RS4 modded to the nth degree

BMW M estate again M3 if BMW actaully get round to doing a touring version of one.

Never thought I'd be saying this but also an AMG mercedes wagon (thats what the estates are called) would appeal assuming there no m3 touring.

A track toy like a caterham or radical.

A trailer for my track toy.

Id get some trick bicycles to race in and then chuck them in the back of my estates!

I'd be very happy with these. The estates would be the dailys. Sorry but no golf!

Golf R (R32 & Mk7)
Mk2 GTI (First GTI love)

M3 (E30 & E46 CSL)

C63 AMG Estate or an RS6/RS4 Avant
Range Rover Sport

Toys -
Escort Cosworth (One of the first things I would buy)
Ferrari 355/430
MK1 Escort RS2000
Mint Nova 1.3 SR
Possibly some sort of mental 911

I'd also like to gather together a collection rally icons and make them into replicas -

MK2 Escort (Rothmans)
Escort Cossie (Ford Zebra stripes)
Lacia Delta Evo (Martini colours)
Celica GT4 (Castrol colours)
Impreza Turbo (McRae 555 colours)
Pug 205 (T16 rep in team colours)
Evo 6 (Makinen Malbro colours)
Audi Quattro (Audi sport colours)

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:

Post by: camfollower on March 27, 2013, 11:05:43 pm: 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.

Post by: Paullie773 on March 27, 2013, 11:23:30 pm: 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?

Post by: Bow on March 29, 2013, 07:17:12 am: 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
