I know this topic, or variations of it, pop-up from time-to-time but we've been engaged with the subject in work today. £100k is quite an
interesting number as it poses the question of whether to go for one big supercar purchase or to have a collection of "lesser" vehicles.
My guess, due the nature of this forum, is that most will come-up with a bit of a fleet. This was certainly the case with me - 6 cars; 1 trailer!
So, what would people go for?

Deposit on a Veyron.
A biger collection of bits !!
strippers and drink
Ultima GTR in white
F355 in red
I'd keep my E39 530i Sport (its black if your interested and the perfect daily hack), my Fury and my race car which is a Drakart would also
stay.
I would then also get either a Radical or a Z cars mini both with a turboed busa engine for some track day fun!
Sound lovely!

Interesting....
Probably my list will be:
Finish off my car

Lexus ISF 50k
TVR Cerbera Red Roses 20k
MK Indy with the last 10k

Oops, i forgot the Mk Midi, might try and squeeze it into my 100k
