Title: What would you do with a million dollars?
Post by: Yuri on July 23, 2009, 03:35:00 PM: A question for everyone.... say you came into some money... around 2 million or so.. what car or cars would you buy?

Personally... I would get an Ariel Atom and an Alpina B12 5.7 based off of the BMW 850CSi

Other cars that perked my interest was a Buick GNX, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Diablo, McLaren F1 LM, Dodge Viper, and Corvette ZR1

Just in case you happen to win it big soon, hows this:

This guy is my neighbor. Lives right across the street from me (He said he'd be one of my drivers for next years meet!).

As for me, ANYTHING Ferrari!! Maybe a new ZR1 thrown in just for fun.

PS: The reserve on the Alpina is 140K, by the way!

Post by: Yuri on July 23, 2009, 04:07:00 PM: i actually don't like the z8 too much... they tried to do a 'retro' look and i don't think they did it right... by the way... the enzo may be nice and all... but it's too expensive for what it is, and too slow for it's cost. the smartest ferrari to buy is the f430.. popular enough that every stealership will have parts available in boxes to do repairs, and won't have to wait a month for parts from italy.

besides... the bmw 8 series has a McIntosh sound system... the only other car that i know of that comes with a McIntosh is a mclaren f1

McIntosh > everything else

Post by: Gostlrs on July 23, 2009, 05:17:00 PM: i have always wanted a 95 ZR-1 Convertible.

fastest year of the vette i believe and that thing was a beast. smoke the tires going 60MPH

other then that. i want to get a 72 240Z and built it up with either an RB or SR motor. maybe an LS1 or LS6... so many options for that thing. i want a 72 because its my birth year

Post by: drbob on July 24, 2009, 02:13:00 AM: I would have a car built from scratch. With styling aspects from the 30's 50's, 60's with power and brakes from this decade. Also a Z8, and Shelby series 1 for daily driving.

Post by: Andrew H on July 24, 2009, 02:21:00 PM: Hi all
If I had the spare million dollars one of the things I would do is attend the Mid America Capri Gathering. I would love to take my Capri on holidays.
It would be very cool to drive my right hand drive XR2 with its Australian number plates In the parade

Cheers Andrew

Post by: Mort on July 27, 2009, 03:36:00 AM: I would convert my '91 Capri to rear wheel drive, small Ford V-8 and C-4 tranny and modify the removable hardtop into a convertible hardtop. Use the rear seat area for storing the hardtop.

Post by: drbob on July 27, 2009, 03:47:00 PM: I'd ship some cars for our Australian members up for the gathering, and ship some of our cars down for people for the Aussies convocation.
