Hi, long time since I posted here.

If I were worth 8 figures I would - over time - end up with:
1. Middle class faker: 540i old model
(Debadged, normal exterior, manual, break, <15K euro, to go sailing, skiing and for the first dates as well as for that kind of people - you know)
2. Daily driver: Bentley GT Cabrio
(Blue or black with saddle interior, for new romances and golf)
3. Sports car: Ferrari F430 F1
(First one would be second hand RED coupe, would save up for new F430 silver with full red leather inside and ditto roof OR black with black roof and full beige interior (I don't like how red ferrari spiders look with the top up. Will be reserved for the enthousiast only, ie myself, my brothers and a couple of friends.)
4. Track car: Porsche GT3 RS
(Would start with older model to learn the ropes. Participate in some races, e.g. Franchorchamps.)
5. Old timer: 1958 Ferrari 250 California Spyder
(Would spend time looking for the right people to build a replica, so I would dare to drive it. If the Romances are written with a capital R, it's time to drop the Bentley and take out the Old Timer to the South of France or the North of Italy!))
6. Fun Car: Carver One
(How fun is that?)

I would take my cars, except for the BMW, to their respective clubs. (Driving school too for the Porsche.)

If I were 9 figures... I'll tell you in a decade or 2

 

dream car garage (in non specific order)

F40 Rosso scuderia, tubi exhaust, carbon brakes (so it stops like a modern car again...) and, dont shoot me down for this, a lightweight sound system (consisting of cd player, 2x 6x9's and as little wiring as possible).
pagani zonda F roadster. bare carbon fibre finish with red seats. oh yeah.
murcielago Giallo orion, R-gt body, LP640 engine with race spec exhaust system, individual throttle body setup
enzo ferrari. Rosso scuderia, black interior with red stitching, fxx engine, ecu so i can choose between 2 engine maps. black painted wheels
F50 Rosso corsa, F50 GT exhaust.
550 maranello Rosso corsa, reworked engine (580-620hp), carbon fibre monocoque, prodrive race body...standard 550 interior (beige leather) with barchetta seats.

you'll notice there isnt a practical car in my list....why would I? if i had enough money to afford all of these cars i'd like to retire...shopping? my wife can do that with her 6 wishlist cars

 

6 cars would be impossible if calling it perfect, but this would be my best shot at it!

1) "Enzo", how can this be avoided?
2) Mclaren F1, impossible to avoid.
3) scuderia, drive one, you'll understand!
4) F40, in the right hands nothing compares.
5) 166MM, there's faster and more valuable but this is where it all started.
6) '61 250tr, if it was good enough for Phil Hill to win world championship, it's good enough for me!

 

Hmmm let's see...

I like vintage so it's classics heavy:

330 P4: Rosso Corso of course, if possible the 1967 Daytona winner (JG, I have to steal yours) for vintage track days and just drooling over its beauty
599 GTB: in 1957 Vinaccia (red wine metallic) vintage custom colour with a Daytona Schedoni Couio interior (manual gearbox please) as a daily driver
F2004 Formula one: When I want to s--t my pants at track days
250 California Spider SWB in 1959 Blu Scozia (scottish blue) (the one with perplex headlight cover and fog lamps in the grille) for cruising
Lambo Miura SV in Arancio (orange) (the one with a separate gearbox oil to avoid problems) because it's the most beautiful thing
Maserati Quattroporte S, in Bianco Fuji and Blu Navy interior when I want to carry people...

 

I'm a simple, low profile guy would go with:

1. Enzo or FXX
2. F50GT
3. F40LM
4. 288GTO
5. CS
6. Scuderia

Thats all in my own garage, and keep me busy all day, everyday.

 

1. Koenigsegg CCXR
2. Porsche Carrera GT
3. Ferrari F50
4. Porsche 993 GT2
5. Challenge Stradale
6. Scuderia

 

My votes are based on where i live so obviously im gonna go with the warmer weather - Las Vegas.

1. Daily Driver when alone - Rollys Royce Drophead Coupe - White on White with 26'' white wheels with chrome lip

2. Daily driver with a chick - Black on Black LP640 Roadster with black 19/20 wheel combo

3. Weekend Exotic - Red on Black Ferrari Enzo with tubi exhaust

4. Going to dinner/restaurant with a few friends - White on White Bentley Flying Spur Speed with Mansory kit and 20' white wheels with chrome lip

5. Car Just for me - Pagani Zonda F - Untouched

6. A Must have is another ferrari tough choice between a fully modified 599 GTB Fiorano or a fully modified Scuderia Spyder - both in Monza red


One Day...

 

Me:

1. Mercedes-Benz S600 (Daily)

No AMGs for the S-Class. as the S-Class is a pure luxury car so I don't really like the sporty AMG stuff on the S-Class, just a pure S600 where an AMG pack is not even available.

2. Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG (half daily, GT car)

Would choose the SL65, but I have developed a love affair for the 63 mainly because of its 7 speed MCT tranny with all the different modes and race start.

3. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (winter daily, live in New York)

Best off roader in the world, now with AMG!

4. Bugatti 16.4 Veyron Grand Sport

the ultimate super car, now to drive on sundays topless, take out to dinners and to enjoy.

5. Ferrari 430 Scuderia

6. Porsche 911 GT3

5 and 6 would be the two purest forms of my favorite sports car makers.

Realistically, if I won the lotto (hah: oxymoron), I would have these cars, a few more and some more for the wife. Then maybe some at a condo in Florida, and some at a house upstate. If the mega mega millions: In addition to all above a house in the Hamptons with a big yacht and a condo in NYC. I would also fit in some classics some where, mainly some 68 Mustangs, Porsche 356, Gullwing, 250 GT Spyder SWB, etc.

Everything stock, not really a fan of modifying.

It was fun dreaming of that for a second.

Lancia Hyena, because no one would know what the hell it was when you drove around them.

Lancia Stratos, because there may not be a cooler car ever made.

NART Spyder, because if it was good enough for McQueen and Dunaway it may be cooler than the Stratos.

1. 330 P3 pr P4 - Beautiful cars, pure works of art never to be re-created again.
2. Countach LP500S - grand daddy of the bad a$$ generation lambos.
3. 512BB - First Ferrari that I fell in love with as a kid.
4. 355 Spider - First Ferrari owned and swore never to sell.
5. Jag XK13 - Only 1 in the world owned by the museum. See it and you understand why it lives in my fantasy. A Jag version of the P3/4 lines.

Cars must make a big visual impact on me and it is the classics that win the day, hands down. They never design cars now like the way they used to.
