What would you do ?

I'll start this fantasy ball rolling with...

Build a workshop. Then Build a brand new Mini in it.
Heritage shell, new subs, pukka (vicious) engine.
Minitastic suspension. Jack Knight box...

Wouldn't exactly be a hot rod (but it would go).

It would have a ton of modern electronics like - take the key out and the internal light comes on.
(the internal light would, of course ACTUALLY light up the interior of the car)... rather than just the three inches around it on the roof.

Central locking, immobiliser, auto headlights that come on when it's dark, windscreen wipers that actually work,
and squirters built into those wipers like Jags and Astons have.

A horn that scares other drivers rather than making them think "there goes Noddy" saying "parp parp".

Locks that actually lock and can't be undone with any piece of wood you have to hand.
A heater that heats. (and doesn't argue with the radio).
A demister that actually works.

Oh me oh my what a Mini I'd have - if I won the lottery...

Of course, I may not have time to do this with all the lazing around I'd have to do on the yacht.

Best wishes
Monty

Oh gosh where do i start??

First of all i would want to buy myself a decent sized house in a nice area with enough land around it too build myself a garage, well dunno if you could class something as big im imagining as a garage, more of a workshop and then fill it with the best tools and gear money can buy.

I would most likely buy myself a couple of the dream motors i would like such as a Clio V6 and a Nissan Skyline GT-R 34 to name but a few.

Then i would build myself an absolute screamer of an engine for my mini, probs something along the lines of a 1380, KAD 16v running on a 5 speed sequential box with all the works.

I would like to buy myself a property abroad also, somewhere where its nice all year round, have a nice 4 bedroom villa with its own private pool and beach access

id buy a new girlfriend every night for the rest of my life

[MiniMonty]

EVERY night ?

I'd sort out the list of problems on the Mini, make it all rust free, and then keep it how it is.
Then i'd buy a Clubman, and a Hayabusa engine, and combine the two. Spray it matte black, slam it on 12s, and keep it stealth/mean looking.

I'd then buy a lot of land, build a track, complete with off-road rally section, loads of jumps, and a load of old volvos to crash about in!

The rest, i'd probably just waste it on other junk.

Dream car is a Clio V6??? I set my dream standards a bit higher with a collection of Aston's....DB5, DB6, DB7 and of course a DB9.....

I would have a few different minis....I'd have a totally mint mk1 which I'd use in historic racing, I'd have a pumped up A-Series like Southy's, but then also a mini with R1 conversion...but really street sleeper styled!!!!

I'd stop dreaming and get yer ass back to work

HAHAHA!

id buy a forged crank, forged pistons, forged rods, cams for an r1 engine and put a gt28rs turbo on it then put in the front of a mini.

[gregh55]

[Southy]

Dream car is a Clio V6??? I set my dream standards a bit higher with a collection of Aston's....DB5, DB6, DB7 and of course a DB9.....

Im not all about flash motor's myself, i would rather have something like a skyline with a few subtle mods and totally rebuild the engine so its pushing 800-1000bhp out so it woud *yellow human water* all over the likes of Zonda's Aston's and really upset the owners

Anyway Clio V6 is just one of my 10 dream car's that everyman thinks about for his garage....

[brightpink]

if i won the lottery i would finish off my mini maybe buy a big house or a farm with loads of land so i could have a some where to race quads.

I think i would also like porsche gt3(because they just gorgeous) and a tractor.

Strange i know but each to there own

[ERAturbo]

I would wait until it was a rollover on the lottery then would buy a ticket for every conceivable number sequence....as long as the total amount of the tickets wasn't more than I had originally won.....er....

I'd buy a cinema....

[scrog]

AC Cobra and a fuel card

[Juju]

And if you won the lottery............................I would point out that maybe there had been an error somewhere as I don't play.
