Lottery winner!!! What If?

I like that more-- I want to change mine! 275GTB long nose torque tube and a matching 275GTS, or a 330GTS if I could swing it.

 

Yeah, but an Enzo alone will cost you $1.5 million, + an F1 car will put you over the budget.

 

That's why I said one or the other.

 

Porche CGT
16M
CS
Lambo G-SuperLeggera
Aston DBS

 

Uncompromised Lineup:

Ferrari F40 $400k
Porsche Carrera GT $280k
Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider $260k
Lamborghini Gallardo SuperLeggera TT $200k??
Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT $160k
Ferrari Challenge Stradale $150k
Dodge Viper GTS $40k
Porsche 944 S2 $10k

Now that would be quite the stable.

 

Party pooper

They all serve a purpose but the 288GTO and the Z8 are there strictly for their beauty.

Eh details, details...

 

This topic has been rehashed so many times that if there were a topic about rehashed topics, it would be a rule that this topic couldn't be mentioned in that topic because it would be like cheating.

With that said, I will participate ...in the interest of participating.

I would buy an Enzo and an Exige. Work out the math however you'd like, I can squeeze both out of $1.5MM. Now which one of you wants to lend me money for gas.

 

What if you can't find an Enzo in black?

 

I'll play.

F50
Range Rover
550
355 spider
Porsche 993
rolls phantom
aston db9 volante
new s-class

That should just about do it...

 

I don't believe in so much luck..

After 45 year playing my grandfather won $5000
Came home exstatic!
Told my grandmother, she pointed out it was peanuts.
Quick calculation showed that he spent at least $10.000 on tickets over the years......

 

that's a good list

 

Just thought I'd throw out a relevant story for you guys...I was driving around Stone Mountain a year ago and saw a beautiful Panoz Esperante with the top down, and a nice custom license plate reading "WNG TCKT" (or winning ticket).

Thought that was pretty awesome.


My garage would have:
CS
C6 Z06
M5
CGT
SLR
Zonda

 

This is mind masturbation but I play with "the ideal garage" thoughts on flights and trains... Below is what I consider a realistic dream garage and what I'll probably achieve within 5 years if I find a home with space enough to build a big enough garage.


Daily, must be able to be effective on mileage (aka. 400 miles on one tank WITH spirited driving) and be a 100% sleeper so I can park it ANYwhere without thinking of theft/vandalism:
BMW 330 X Diesel Touring

Track:
Ariel Atom 3 Supercharged

Winter/rally build:
Mitsubishi Evolution IX w/ some 800-awhp

I always wanted a true British roadster and an Aston Martin:
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster

I always lusted after the hightech Ferrari magic:
Ferrari F430 Berlinetta F1

I just NEED the old car smell and problems and something I can work on:
BMW M635 CSi E24


All this is in a lift set up with daily's down (BMW, Aston, Ferrari) and occasional use vehicles up (BMW M6, Ariel, Mitsubishi).



And if I won the lottery? I'd blow up my living room wall and park a Pagani Zonda F in bare CF inside the house

 

Hmmm... let's see... if I had $1.5m to spend, I'd probably want to spend only about half of it at first and keep the rest for any other cars that might take my fancy. I'd want to make sure I had at least one very decent car in each of the following categories:

Fun road car (V8):

Ferrari 348 GTB... $50k​

Insane track car (V8):

Ariel Atom 500... $160k​

GT road car (V12):

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti... $360k​

'Discreet' 4-door daily driver (V10):

BMW M5 with plenty of options... $100k​

Rugged vehicle (V8 Diesel):

Ford F350 SuperDuty Duelly 4x4... $80k​

So that keeps it nice and neat:

Total spent: $750,000

Remaining cash: $750,000​

And that should leave me a fair amount to build a garage, pay for maintenance, insurance, etc...

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I think that I would go with:

Ferraris:
Ferrari 360CS
Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Ferrari 550
512TR
512 Boxer
Any vintage front engine V12 convertible


Non-Ferrari:
'69 Corvette L71 or L88 (prefer the L88)
'69 Pontiac Trans Am
'73 Pontiac Trans Am SD 455
'69 Camaro


I think that list is doable for 1.5M with some change likely left over. I already own my favorite Ferrari - my 308 GTSi QV, so I am assuming I dont have to put that on the list.

I'd buy a 575 and a Daytona Spider and swap all the mechanicals/electrics over leaving me with a modern Daytona Spider. This would make it one of only two like it in the world.

I would then sell the Daytona bits off on ebay and buy a cheap MR2 and put a 355 bodykit on it. Then take it to Ferrari meets just to annoy the 355 owners.

I'd also get a 288GTO.

I would then buy cars I've always liked, but never got. Cars such as....

Lotus Esprit 350
Porsche 928GT
Ariel Atom
308GTS QV
Aston Martin Vanquish (with the manual conversion)
Ason Martin DBS

 

1. Pagani Zonda F CS roadster
2. ...Oh wait i'm broke!

 

lol!!

 

LOL!

*shakes head in bemused disbelief*​

Good call on the 288GTO - that's a superb choice.

All the best,
Andrew.
