I know I've lost my edge when the first thing that comes blurting out of my yapper is "a nice house"...but with the half mill left over, I'd get a DB9 as well, a Corvette with some mods to make it faster yet keep it comfortable, but it'd be naturally aspirated...annnnd....maybe a car for my nephew when he turns 16...that's in about...15 and a half years.

we have the sweetest customised Esprit that comes into work sometimes, sounds aawesome, looks amazing, i'll try get a pic of it sometime

My list seems to change so much, but anyway,

new BMW M5
Noble M400
Impreza 44S S9
Farboud GTS
Lotus Exige S2
Lotus Exige S1 Track
996 Porsche C4S/GT3RS

Yes, thats a lot, but if I had all that money, it would go straight into my love of cars, that list above comes to about £950,000, and since the topic title didnt specify which currency it was, my obvious choice is £'s :P

Lancer Evo VIII and max $150,000 to hot it up
Original Shelby Cobra if it can be found for reasonable price or replica if not.
Something like a Charger, Mustang, XY Falcon GT 500, Caddy Eldorado. An old muscle car like those or "pimpmobile" like the Eldorado or an old caddy/chev convertible plus thirty or so grand to hot up.

Yeah, I've always loved Esprits, no matter what car I love at any given moment, I'll always love those...And when I went the NY auto show this year, the Lotus Owners Club of New England had about 30 of them, and at one point, two that were next to eachother were just having a rev off...just going back and forth revving the crap out of those ooooohhhh so sweet twin tubro V8's... :smt059 -heavenly...

I'd save up and get an Enzo Ferrari. :-)
