Question If money was no object what would you drive?

Just had to start this thread..after all the talk of the MPS6 and MPS3 I got to thinking if I had millions what would I drive....

Well would drive Max the 8 most of the time...but when I wanted to go for a serious fang I would like one of these...

Okay, lemme see now.

This usually changes each month (I'm a veteran fantasy car shopper ) but atm it would be:

AM Vanquish for my 'daily driver'

Totally blinged out black Chrysler 300C with the Hemi V8 for those low profile kinda days.

Full house Ariel Atom for track days (okay, so my kids would inherit early).

I think we need to assume you can only have one car, otherwise taka will produce a shopping list which includes the current Ferrari F1 car as his track day special

Others I might consider: BMW M6; Bentley Continental GT; Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

All chosen from the same marketing demographic too I might add...

Okay, if forced to only have one I'd still choose the AM Vanquish. The new Bug is mighty tempting but I think ultimately just too frustrating - I reckon my licence would last a day, if that.

Sorry guys, me being an RX-8 lover that hasn't yet owned one...I'm going to have to say an RX-8...but not just one, maybe like 3 since I'm having trouble deciding between blue, white, and yellow.

But hey you gotta respect that!

For me as my car is mainly used for getting me to & from work with a grin, twisty road runs and track days, I would have to say the Limited supercharged Lotus Exige. In orange!

Fast, light, nimble and looks as horny as hell

there was something like this in a UK car website poll i saw.
I recall Ferrari F430 coming out on top.. and that would also be my choice of machine

everyday supercar, F430. woohoo
gotta own one of a kind, Bugatti Veyron.
Pagani Zonda F looks delicious too.
perhaps Range Rover Sports for going offroad :D

I have to say also that if I had to chose a track car it would be this...

Maybe we can have a choice of 3....

One track
One DD
One all out bling etc...

My choice remains the same for DD.....Mercedes McLaren....

One track.......would have to be the Aerial Atom and a water tight will... :-)

All out bling....well that would be this.... http://www.lambocars.com/hr/mur/murc3.htm

Love it.....

OK. Money no object, eh.

I would drive this car. Actually, I'd have this one garaged and drive a replica. Aussies.....guess what it's worth. The Yanks already know (don't spoil my fun!).

I give you a hint at it's worth.

Lots more than a ultra expensive new 400kph Bugatti Veyron....less than a Ferrari 250 GTO.
