Fun days and going to LM - Airiel Atom + Aston Martin Zagato
High days: Maclaren F1 (of course) + Masser MC12

Cruising Days - Ferrari 599 GTB and 250 GTO (alright one old car)

250 LM in David Piper green, a Mark 1 Lotus Cortina and a Saleen S7.  That'll do for starters.

It would need to be a big garage,

But here is a few to start with

As an everyday car (to fit the family in) Audi RS6 Avant

For any other time

Aston V8 Vantage (early 80s)
Lamborghini Muira
Boxster 3.2s
BMW E28 M5

The last 4 would be as low mileage as possible in close to concours condition

Of course these would be added to over time with more cars from England, Germany and Italy,as the interest built up in the bank account.

I'd probably have a few motor bikes as well and a tour de France type road cycle!

For me probably,

Aston Martin DBRS, with all the 007 trimmings

Audi R8, for the girlfriend

For Le Mans, a big slide out tourbus, with all the features, including a thai girl (legal age, barely) for massages ;D

A bit of a theme to my selection......

Mk1 Lotus Cortina
Mk1 Escort RS1600
Lotus 23b
Lotus Elite
my current Elise 'restored' and shiny again
Porsche 908
my first car....Mk1 Ford Cortina Estate.....'restored' and shiny again
and anything previously owned or raced by Jim Clark.

That should keep me amused for a while.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

Because I'm a rotten sod

I'd have a ropey rotten 5hitbox to continue to go to work in (To piss my colleagues off)

And a selection of new - old cars. (Immaculate restorations)

Ahh I know just the guy who's looking to offload some of his cars:

http://www.petrolhead.nl/2008/01/te_koop_51_ferraris.php

The guy is now selling his 51 Ferrari's including:

An Enzo
F40
F50
288 GTO
550 Barchetta
575 Superamerica
Testarossa, 512M
430 Coupé and Spider
360 Modena and Spider
355 Spider
612 Scaglietti
456M GT
360 Stradale

He thinks he's keeping his:

Bentley Continental T
Veyron
Rolls Phantom Black Edition
Drophead Coupé
430 Scuderia
612 Sessanta
and his first Ferrari 328

but well money talks and if the lottery price is big enough he walks  ;)
