First two? Well, after I buy a house that has enough parking spaces...

First car I’d buy would be my girlfriend’s car so that way she owned it.

Second car would be... probably a WRX or something of that ilk. Maybe a used S4 with the six-speed, since I don’t think the new ones have a manual anymore.

Bentley Continental GT3-R for town.

Porsche Rally car so I could play in the dirt with Dusty Ventures and friends.

Then I’d buy 50 of my closest friends and relatives new matching Jeep Wranglers just for fun. After that I’d buy a small private island I know of in NC that has a house already on it with a helipad. Bank whats remaining.

The first two would logically be impulse purchases so...

– 1st gen Mini Moke. Spruce Green and RHD for full effect.

– A skimpy, not too restored vintage Bentley (come to think of it, the one from The Fast Lady would do very nicely, thank you). Blower optional.

Later I could devote more time and effort to satisfy other manifold and very rational automotive needs.

A grey MK7 Golf R 6MT; then I’d have someone re-trim the seats in the Euro e-Golf blue plaid fabric. Along with the usual wheels/tires, which I’d go for 18s rather than the factory 19s because the US sucks and we can’t have nice things like good roads.

For sure a new LC as well.

And whatever the wife wants. She’s talked about a convertible of some kind, so probably a mint S2K.

Undoubtedly.

A Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America.

Typically between £300-700,000

My second car would be a

Daily runabout, fuel and space efficient, reliable, etc...

Probably a Skoda Kodiaq 1.4TSi seven seater.

£30,000

I’d have someone build my two dream trucks, a tasteful restomod of a 1950 Ford F3 (keeping the long bed).

Like this but different color and wheels, modern suspension, undecided on the engine, 6 speed manual, and some structural improvements.

The second would be a Super Crew jellybean F-150, with a 6.5' bed, updated interior, supercharged Coyote and Ford’s new 10 speed.  

There would be many more trucks to purchase, but per the rules these would be the first two.

I used to have a Bburago model of a white 1954 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America when I was eight or something. Over the years it got lost or binned, then three years ago I got a replacement one but then two years ago a colleague at work said her grand son loved cars so I passed it on to him to hopefully appreciate like I did at that age.

One day I will have an off white Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America with a blood red interior and wire wheels.

It will sit pride of place in the living room within eye shot of the TV and desktop computer. A leather recliner for those cold slow days that I can sit back with a large glass of whiskey and take in all the curves and lines of the car.

The Kodiaq is big enough without being too big, spacious inside as many Skodas are, fuel efficient, practical and reliable for daily driving or going on small expeditions.

Bburago do 1:18 models. They are very accurate with steerable front wheels and steering wheel, bonnet, boot and doors open.

There are many different colours and there is a guy here in the U.K. that makes scenes with them.

Hmm... don’t know about the race track, but a house with a good view would be great (probably overlooking the Saskatchewan River). Four car garage and a good sized lawn would be swell, too.

I don’t know, even with $2 billion, I don’t know if I could justify a race track. I’d probably end up donating a lot of it. Maybe cover the rent for a good sized lot for autocross.

Although kudos for having a pet shelter on there.
