Just another interesting one to think about..

So, if you won the lottery and you could buy anything you pretty much wanted - including a mansion - would you keep your current Fiat on the driveway?


Not going to lie, if I did I'd probably have one of those new 124 Spiders when they come out, a new Panda 4x4 and of course my current '05 Panda too! And *maybe* a Ferrari ;-)

Anyway, I could see myself keeping my current Fiat because it's so dependable and cheap. Just because I'd have the money I couldn't see myself 'throwing it away'! As far as I can imagine anyway!


Delete if this is a bit of a pointless thread but thought it might get some interesting responses!

Of course I'd keep me Panda (it's new ), the Ferrari'd need a stable mate

Watching a car show last night, where the idiot presenter is standing among a flock of MG TCs in America and says to some old bloke who's owned his TC forever: "you should put a sticker on it saying, My other car's a Ferrari". The old boy's wife leant over and said: "He's got one on our Ferrari that says, My other car's an MG".

The current Panda for everyday use.
A Ferrari just coz.
Some nice old Fiat in the garage under restoration.

I would have thought 'pointless' was part of the reasoning behind this sub-forum

not quite the right section

If I won the lottery...

I would buy the biggest garage I could find, and obviously, my Grande Punto would be restored to as new condition. I would also try and find my parents old mk2 and my old mk2b, and I'd have both of those restored. I'd then buy any unloved Puntos to save them from going to scrap or ending up as engine donors. I'd find an original, unmolested Cinquecento Sporting, as well as a few Coupes. I'm afraid I'd also save a few Daewoo Matiz' as well, lol! My 1 extravagant car would be an Aston Martin DB9, purely for its sheer, staggering beauty. I'd save a few other random cars which are generally unloved too, but most of my vast collection would be Fiats, mainly Puntos, lol!

I'd import a top spec Fremont from Australia (they are RH drive).

i dont do the lottery anymore since they made it harder to win and raised the prices but if i did i would definately keep the Panda 1.1 ECO 2010 i bought a couple of months ago as i just love this car and the way it drives and has so many great standard features for a cheap car

Yes, I'd keep all the cars I've currently got, but might also add a 1977 Ferrari 308GTB in silver or a darker metallic grey.

It's the only car on my list that I've not owned yet...

I haven't got my Fiat Doblo yet. If I'd have all the money I'd need to do what I want, I'd definitely keep the Doblo, but do some engine and brake upgrades, install air suspension, and pay the necessary bribes to make it all legal...




...and I might buy an Alfa 4C, an Alfa 166 V6, a Ferrari 360, a Fiat Barchetta...

Why the hell would you want a Freemont, it's not a proper Fiat. Anyway, I'd buy a proper 124 Spyder, a 126, a 131 Supermirafiori, a large barn..........

What do you class as a proper Fiat?

I already know what I would do.

My Fiat would stay on the drive. Just with nice professional window tints, air suspension, posh exhaust, vinyl wrapped, and just generally upgraded a bit all round! Still would keep it there though.

Would be parked beside my Gran Turismo, my Caddy and my Skyline/Stagea.

Ideally, I'd have a multistorey carpark just filled with Fiats, lol!

If you win the lottery before I do I'd beg for a job polishing them (on a much better wage than a typical valet ;-) ) haha

Lol! I could also start up a new business supplying fords to banger racers, lol!

I would keep mine

There might be few new ones as well

It was my first car so yeah I'd keep mine. I'd also have a large garage/warehouse/showroom full of anything small - 126's, Uno's, Japanese Kei cars, anything like that. Oh, and the Pajero Mini I have would get the engine transplant I've been talking about for the last x years.

Since I don't own a Fiat now (just sold it for a Mazda CX-3) I would not keep it ;-)
But there is a few older Fiats I would buy, just to name a few:
Fiat Dino Spider 2.4 V6
Fiat 130 Coupe aut.
Fiat 2300S Coupe
Fiat X1/9 1.5 (or 1.3)
Fiat Ritmo Abarth
Fiat 124 Spider (the original, not the new one)

I would So keep my current car (punto mk2b)

I would get her the much needed bodywork touched up
I've get the car back to a show room shine almost
