Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - ant - 12-07-2011 06:40am I'm abroad, can't sleep, jet lagged, bored etc, so I've been thinking what cars I'll get when (if) I win the 166million tonight! ![]() My list would be as follows: 1. Bentley Mulsanne 2. Range Rover Autobiography Limited 3. Aston Martin Virage 4. I'd keep the Evoque coming!!! 5. New Defender replacement (when it's released) 6. Lambo (got to have one) ![]() I've already got my dream Triumph Stag, but other classics I would get are: 1. Original E Type (but modernised) 2. Triumph TR6 3. Mini Cooper S (original ... not BMW) 4. TVR Cerbera I've limited my list to 6 + 4 classics, although there are dozens of cars I crave. ![]() I've never been keen on owning Ferraris, Porsches, BMWs, Mercedes, etc etc. Although they are special in their own way, I'm just a sort of British car fan! ![]() Not a great fan of American cars either, but if pushed, I'd have a 1968 Mustang Fastback, a new Shelby Mustang GT500 or a new Corvette Z06. I'd also hunt down a 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am 455 HO that I used to own when I was a boy. Loved the car but it did 7mpg!!! (TLY 14M if anyone knows its whereabouts, let me know.) ![]() Thinking about it more, I'd probably order another Evoque. A Dynamic Coupe in Fuji with 18" wheels with MTRs and all done up for off-roading - awesome. ![]() In fact the more I think about it the more cars I'd like to have. However I think for the purposes of this thread and Forum, I'll limit my choices to the listed 6 + 4 above. ![]() Over to you. ![]() ![]() Ant BTW, it's 3am where I am! RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - cjfp - 12-07-2011 11:18am The Pontiac still appears to be 'active' as it shows up on the Congestion Charge website. Even more interesting, if you Google the numberplate, you come across a post about some guy who used to own 2 Trans Ams and named them Willy and Tilly - I wonder who that could be !! ![]() ![]() RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose.

Good God!!!! ![]() ![]() I've googled it but can find no link to all those years ago. That's correct, I had 2 x 1971 Firebirds when I was young(er). One was a 350 cu in Esprit, and the other was a 455 HO Trans Am in beautiful pearlescent white with a blue stripe. Worth a lot of money these days, but I traded it for my first Range Rover in 1983 (I think?). The black car was WLY 652M and the white one TLY 14M ....... hence Tilly and Willy. ![]() ![]() @cjfp - How did googling the number plate lead you to that info? Ant ![]() RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - ant - 13-07-2011 11:04am Well it wasn't me, but someone in the UK now has 161 million to spend. I guess the Bentley will have to wait and I'll have to "make do" with the Evoque ... hard times ahead!!! ANT RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - cjfp - 13-07-2011 01:22pm I just googled "TLY 14M" (in speech marks) and got 3 references. One link to this forum and another to:- http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-generation-mini-cooper/15248-have-you-named-your-mini-5.html I just googled "TLY 14M" (in speech marks) and got 3 references.

(Slightly Evoque related)! - ant - 13-07-2011 09:23pm Good God .... again! ![]() ![]() ![]() I can't even remember what we called the MINI. ![]() RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - evoqueboy - 14-07-2011 08:18pm I'd go for an Evoque in every colour just to p!ss off the neighbours! lol ![]() RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - paulus599 - 15-07-2011 02:49pm Well I didn't win it, but if it happens next time then :- 1. Ferrari 599 (hence my user name) 2. Ariel Atom V8 3. Nissan GT-R 4. Evoque (of course) 5. Mclaren MP4-12C 6. Mercedes SLS My classic list is similar to Ant's :- 1. Eagle Speedster (rebuild of original 1966 E Type) 2. Triumph TR5 3. Aston Martin DB5 4. MGB GT V8 Could probably list hundred's more, but they are the ones that spring to mind. RE: Given the BIG lottery win, what vehicles would you choose. (Slightly Evoque related)! - ant - 15-07-2011 06:27pm Nice list paulus - I'd also be tempted by the McLaren. I'd have to swap that for the Lambo - then it's all Brit cars.

Re-viewing my list, I must prefer to spread my 'cash' around to all the other struggling economy's out there. ![]() |
