Hypothetical - If you became suddenly rich - Euro or Local?

[Ford17]

Like really rich - as in just won $big in the lottery, and had $$$ annual interest to spend.

What would you do car-wise?

Would you go for a Euro-supercar, or soup up a Falcon to supercar/race car/ultimate levels?

[AuFairlaneV8]

Why not Japanese, better quality and reliability than the Euro's

[maylandsman]

Rolls Royce or a Bentley and I'd throw the dogs in the back and drive around.

[XR6TCraig]

Both mate! I'm now loaded after all!! Lol

[chookaradley]

A raucous merc v8 for me. Quite like mercs if I had plenty of $$$

[Nikked]

New Ford GT tucked under a XA Hardtop, yep with the V6TT...

[Big_Daz]

As a daily id grab myself a VF HSV GTS and put a Harrop kit on it...

Assuming I had won enough for a weekend/track racer I'd grab myself a 997 Series 2 GT3 RS in the Grey...

[Ross 1]

Aston Martin DB9 Carbon Edition. Then pay for a private tunnel to drive backwards and forwards in just to listen to it.

[MethodX]

Ferrari or Maserati. to go with one of the locals

[Franco Cozzo]

A Nissan GT-R wouldn't go astray to be honest, and if I have to have a Euro vehicle for the sake of this thread, pimped out Mercedes Sprinter with 70" TV, recliners, A/C and a big fridge in the back.

[minheim]

An XA GT hardtop for the weekend and a Porsche Macan twin turbo v6 for a daily driver. However Mrs M would want a Mercedes CLS or similar.

[Ford17]

I'd honestly go for a full-on Falcon, get it tuned & sorted by DJR or similar, with chassis reinforcements done to cope with excess torque and the like, and run with it.

Wouldn't think so much about status or prestige; would focus instead on how to make a Falcon better.

[csv8]

MB CLS Shooting Brake...

[danthefordman]

I'd build two xb coupes. A v8 supercar inspired ultra light street legal weekend racer and a daily luxo inspired turbo six for comfy reliable family cruising

[mcnews]

911 Porsche of any type no question

[jmack]

a stable of gt,s xr-xb atleast 1 of each ,a couple of esps and a t3

[XB GS 351 Coupe]

Finish my XB projects and buy a H2 Hummer for daily duties. Then go from there, Euro or Jap vehicles do not interest me at this stage.

[Ford_The_Win]

F-150 King Ranch all the way

[malazn mafia]

BA Falcon with nissan R35 running gear, making it look as stock as possible, run as a daily

[Sioso]

Agreed.
Excluding the flat nose, targa top automatic............

Singer Porsche - weekend cruiser
991 Turbo S Coupe Manual - daily driver
997 GT3 RS 4.0 - track car
Cayenne Turbo S - family car (and because I'm rich I would punish it in the bush)

Euro, definitely. And no supercar or 'hypercar' - I'm more of a luxury car man myself. My dream car garage consists of the Mercedes-Benz S600, Rolls-Royce Ghost and Bentley Continental GT and/or Bentley Flying Spur.

This month's Motor magazine compared the S600 v Ghost v Flying Spur. That was a drool-fest for me. I wouldn't be able to pick a winner - I'd want all three.

[Elks]

As the girl in the Taco add says "why can't we have both". I'm rich afterall.

A GTF & perfect Landau from home.

A GT Porsche form Europe

But I'd add in some American muscle too

[rancidpunx]

First thing I would do is build an 8 car garage and then start buying things. The obvious being XY and XB GTs. Would look into a nice F6 and tune, and keep the Rspec. Audi RS4 or Jag XFRS daily with Twin Turbos. I would like a supercar and so would probably get into a F355 as an introduction and see where that leads. Problem with Supercars is that you need a massive win on the lottery. They are hugely expensive to buy and then the values drop like a stone but also the upkeep is ridiculous. Even the 355 needs its timing belt changed every 30ks and its a full engine out job to do. Clutches are almost 6 monthly items etc. However having a Lambo sitting in the garage would be sweet.

[Nanoraptor]

An all-electric XA coupe - just for a start.

[Bearman]

If I were filthy rich??

Daily = Maloo Ute. Maybe also a Ranger Wildtrack for towing.
Wife = Whatever car she wants.
Toy #1 = XA GT Coupe.
Toy #2 = Track Coupe, Group C Replica, or a real one if one comes up.
Toy #3 = Audi RS4.

Keep my XC Coupe and re-do the body and interior.

Give away the Honda and wifes Corolla to any family who needs them (have some nephews driving absolute dirt boxes - lack of cash).

[Grippy]

One of the new yank Fords for me, a new GT and a Mustang GT350R would do just fine.

[BradEL]

Regardless of how much money I had, I wouldn't be seen dead in a euro, Ford once, Ford always

[strobe]

I'd buy a helicopter. Roads are for the plebeians.

[Adamz Ghia]

i think I'd go through all the cars Ive ever wanted and start from the top. First stop would be a more recent example, an FG FPV Super Pursuit, 5.4 removed, 5.0S thrown in...

[zilo]

Tesla Model S with the performance pack and 20kw of solar panels for the house roof.
