If you had $15 million to spend...

[OffRoadFalcon]

... what vehicles would you buy if you could buy any vehicles you wanted?

Me:

Hennessey VelociRaptor 800 Twin Turbo SuperCrew

Hennessey CTS-V Sport Wagon Black Diamond V700, not a real wagon, but it's apparently faster than both the CTS-V sedan and Coupe! 0-100 in 3.2... bwahahahahaha.

Beg Ford Aus to build me a FGII AWD wagon

John D'Agostino's "Elvis II" '59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarittz Convertible

And this Newell Coach...

So what would you choose?

[buggo]

If I had $15million to spend, I'd prob just buy a FPV max (Edit: Maybe splurge and get a C63, love them ). Then buy $10million worth of property, maybe 15-20 houses/units of various cost in varied suburbs and live off the rent income. Then put the last $5million(-$80,000 for the car) in the bank-earn interest off that and have a surplus of disposable cash if I ever need it.
That what I'd boringly do haha

Then I'd buy an F111 from the RAAF and make TF30 noises in my front yard.

[tray_18]

Ferrari 458
GT 40
Audi R8
DB9
Bugatti Veyron

[lucas2]

I'd get an f6e and mod it as a project car..then buy several properties and lap up the life who says money can't buy happiness?
Oh and a new GTR ;)

[tray_18]

It has got me F lol.

Buggo, If you had $15 million to spend...

Kinda just asking about vehicles, not property. Lol, just thought I'd remind ya's.

Awesome choices

Ah, damn nearly forgot the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport!

Lucas2, money cannot buy happiness. You think it will, but it never does. I haven't experienced lots of money, but I can easily understand why happiness doesn't come from it. Life can be more fun without it!

But it'd be fun to have a few of these kind if things.

[SM1DY]

BA GT-P (Blood orange of course)
TE50 (5.6L, manual is the only way to fly)
FPV 335 GT-P
Jaguar Xj Supersport
Ferrari 458 Italia Spider
Nissan GT-R
Audi R8 V10 Spider
Lotus Exige S
2012 Boss Mustang 302
2013 Shelby GT500
The '87 4spd 302w F100 my dad gave me when I first got my license

and

This plane from the expenables


That's the shortlist

[SteveJH]

On vehicles only?

Flying boat hulled amphibious aircraft so it can land on either land or sea. Always wanted to fly and that sort of aircraft opens up more landing grounds.

Nice big boat, plus a smaller one that can fit in the back of the aircraft....

GT3 or GT1 car for the track, or alternatively something like a GT-R built to GT1 spec but still with AWD.

Something nice to drive around during the week....maybe an XFR.....

Oh, and a 4WD for the weekend to put the big boat in the water.....

[2011G6E]

Plane from The Expendables...I'd agree!

E49 Charger
GTHO
Bathurst 350 Monaro
Ferrari 512 BB (the car that back in the very early eighties Brockie took for a road test and came back saying "I could take that thing to Bathurst as it is on street tyres and win...what a car!"
Austin A30 (for sentimental reasons, my first car)
Duesenberg SJ
Model T Tourer
1957 Chev two door coupe
Nissan Leaf...so I could set fire to it and laugh...

Old fishing trawler converted into a cruiser/family fishing boat

Mescherschmidt ME262 replica a built by a mob in America that's started doing them, full size with small reliable modern jets in original design nacelles...around two million bucks right there...

[DJM83]

Sierra Cosworth RS500
Focus RS500
Audi RS6 Avant
Koenigsegg CCX

I would buy as many concource correct GT's as I could and start well and truly spinning out the trainspotters.
One would get a CD player (Id cut the original dash to install it)

Another would have incorrect wire joiners and quite possibly a scotchlock or two.
Basically we would go on from there.
