I'd get:

Elanor as the weekend cruiser..
The Corvette Z06 as the daily driver..
The 2007 GTR just for the heck of having a turbo in the garage..

1. M1A2 Abrams tank (US $4.3M) for a cruising vehicle, fits 4 people in it, one to drive, a gunner, a loader and the commander, comes with A/C for those hot days and top speed of (100kph, but damages parts) 72kph so i can keep up with traffic. 70 tonnes of awesomeness. (theres a pic of an M1 or an M1A1 Abrams on page 2.)

2. Ford F250 for a daily, manual of course.

3. Ford F650 for bragging rights, or driving to the supermarket in.

4. 1979 rusted out XD Falcon, with $500,000 spent on go fast parts but strictly NO bodywork, used only for dragging my friends at the calder.

5. Latest model Mazda RX8s for Mum, Dad, Sister, Cousins, Aunties and Uncles all in one colour with the same custom number plates, except a one number difference.

NON CAR ITEMS:

15 bedroom mansion all to myself.

Assuming it's cars only...

Weekenders a) Bently Conti GT b) Lambo Murchi c) BMW X5 4.8i
Weekly a) Merc SL63 b) Audi RS4 c) Merc CLK63 Black Series d) BMW M5 e) Merc S63
Toys - all Fords interestingly.... a) G8 Fairlane b) FBT c) Blown Force 8

Oh, this missus can't think of anything so she'll use the X5...

Sounds completely materialistic, but hey we can but dream!!

Bit more realistic would be SL63, X5, G8 Fairlane, XR5 Focus.

Funny, I was only thinking (read- dreaming) about this the other day...

1.F6X Territory for the family hack..
2.AUIII TS50 for me.
3.FG Pursuit
4.FG F6 Sedan

The Territory will be our "all-purpose"... The TE50 will be my weekend cruiser... And the FG's will be my daily drivers, depending on where the mood takes me, I'll have a choice of FPV to drive every day...

I'd also sink a lot of money in my current BF XR6, just to see how fast you can make a barra 190 go while keeping it NA...

Id like a few toys if I had a decent win:

Roush 427R with the track pack options,
A BFII GT-P in silhouette, fully optioned and then dropped off at the Hillier bro's workshop for a full coupe conversion and Ford GT engine transplant,
And my pursuit would get a custom paint job and new wheels
that would complete my dream collection nicely!!!
