won a lottery ?

Fuse

Not sure how many gearheads there are here, but this was a cool clip from Fifth Gear.. a jackpot winner wants to finally splurge on a sportscar, but the bloke knows little about automobiles .. ahh choices choices ..

if only we could be burdened with such difficult decisions ..

how about you fellas?

I would pick F40 because its raw and scary. And it does not scream new money either

LordScottish

I wouldn't feel very comfortable driving that much money all day. I'll just take the new ford mustang shelby gt 500 then
Honestly, I don't think I would spend more than 80'000$ on a car ever, even if I had the possibility

Fuse

well the man seemed very sensible about spending his money, but i guess the time came when he decided to treat himself on something impulsive like a sports car ..

i actually applaud the man for showing interest in the aston, shows good taste, that car has tons of personality, although it wasnt really a fair comparison to the f430.. if he is indeed getting one in grey, then he surely doesnt intend to me showy with the auto.

LordScottish

Yep, the Aston is a very nice option.
I like some of those cars a lot, It's just that I would be very afraid to scratch it or do any damage to them. Too much afraid to feel comfortable driving them. It's like wearing a 10'000$ watch. I love the sophisticated technique of these, but I wouldn't want to wear one because of the danger of loosing them and then wanting to kick myself into the face for it lol

And although modern sports cars like the Ferrari F430 sound awesome, I still like the rough sound of old american cars a lot

I'd rather save a boatload of money and just get myself a c6 z06... right up there with a bunch of those cars.... and can easily be bumped up to 1000+ bhp if you so desire.... and I know I can actually fit in a c6 (tall as / than Clarkson...)

Daz

The trouble with owning any of those cars in Britain is that you couldn't park it somewhere for 5 minutes without someone running their keys down the side of it.

Fuse

that's unfortunate daz , i had something similar happen to my friends s500, someone decided it would be fun to scratch up the trunk panel thoroughly..

people these days

In my area I see Hummers, Lambo's, Porchas, Beemers and Bentleys nearly every other day. Theres a shite load of rich dumbfucks living in the postcode next to mine.

I know it may seem kind of lame compared to all the super cars in this thread but if I won the lottery, I'd by a Citroen CX25 GTi (after buying a ridgid airship and a fleet of monkey bikes)



By chance, one was parked outside my house the other day. Last thing I thought I'd see in Japan, must have cost an arm and a leg to import. Also the car park it's in, costs $1 every 12 minutes

KeyserSoze

Hawken, I have three words for you: WHAT. THE. FUCK. That thing looks like a retro-futuristic hatchback station-wagon from the 70s... I don't see the appeal.

flaagan

Hawken, would you park that next to your solid gold DeLorean?
That thing's awesome

hawken

I guess it's all I would be able to afford after my zepplin
