Mattracer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
One for every day of the week...

If you won the lottery, what would it be? One almighty supercar or a few excellent cars chosen wisely to make a fleet for weekly service?

If I had to pick just one:

BMW M5 (or M3)

One for each day of the week:

Sun BMW M3
Mon AMG E55
Tues 911 Turbo
Wed HSV Coupe 4
Thurs DJR 320
Fri Ferrari F355
Sat Ferrari 246 Dino

Okay, make one of those days a half 'n half with an Astra turbo in the morning and a Euro exotica for the afternoon.

I would have to settle for a Zonta (or however you spell the thing) for every day. Maybe different colurs so I knew which was which?

Dunno whether I'd stick to the days of the week, but I'd soon find seven cars...

Lamborghini Murcielago
Bentley Arnage T
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Audi ur-Quattro (1983 ex works Group B)
Ferrari 250/275 (GTO, LM, Testarossa - y'know I really don't mind which! )
Porsche Carrera GT
Pagani Zonda C12S
Ferrari Enzo

OK, that's eight cars, but I can't decide which to drop. Let's say a spare in case one doesn't start (there's a couple of Italians in there after all... )

Thinking about it, I reckon I'd have a couple of extras too. A 911 would need to be in there - I'd take a GT3 from the current line up. And maybe something unobtrusive but comfortable like a (well) used Lexus LS400 for when I don't want to be noticed!

Wed - Aston Martin V8 Vantage to blow the cobwebs away
Thu - Bentley Azure Convertible in black
Fri - party night. New Mercedes-McLaren SLR. Wheeeee!
Sat - the Vintage Bentley. A black 1929 4.5 litre Tourer for leisurely drives in the country.
Sun - raceday. A fifties Aston Martin DB3S or Lister Jaguar sports racer naturally.

I didn't choose a WRX cos I've already got one!

The thing is, a WRX is a pretty good compromise - quick, practical, reasonable running costs etc - so it might be more popular if you had to choose ONE car. If you can choose seven who needs to compromise?!

Try and stretch it to 6 days. Won't matter on the seventh - the 6R4 won't be road legal anyway!

The 6R4 would be road legal wouldn't it? After all it's a rally car and they have to drive on public roads between stages.
