I'd pretty much do what you said to the car, but I would also buy my own small garage with a decent dyno and spend all my time learning everything there is to know about engine tuning. Purely for something to do, and only work on my own stuff, friend's cars and the occational RS owner :D

Id definitely keep it, but id make it a concourse vehicle, completely standard, absolutely perfect but even cleaner than when it left the factory.
It would look great alongside my R8, Aston Martin, Range Rover, A-team GMC van and an airwolf helicopter :)

^Mclaren F1 for sure, I wander if it's possible to get the LM version? I'm betting collectors won't let go of them.

Its tricky - I don't think one car fits all.
But yes, if I had room I would go for a B7 completely stripped down and rebuilt.

I would keep the RS4, and get a McLaren P1 as well.

The RS4, in Avant form, can carry lots of stuff fast - which none of the supercars or megacars can do due to their limited luggage space (try getting a new washing machine into one...).

Well I'd keep the RS4 and like many others, spoil it rotten. But my new 'extended' garage would also house an original Sport Quattro - yeah the ugly short wheel base ballistic missile. After having a ride in the Pike's Peak variant many years ago nothing else on the planet can come vaguely close for violent acceleration and OMFG that noise!!!

Sitting next to it would be a Lambo Muira....

I would keep mine and strip it and rebuild with everything new and likewise charger, ramics, etc

Then I would purchase a hummer strip all the paint off it with paint stripper so it gets nice and rusty and spend endless hours a day driving round supermarkets parking next to the arseholes that park next to nice cars.... Real tight to the drivers door and watch them return to their car and see their face ....,

That new ltd Boss Mustang would be nice too

If I won euromillions I would firstly have a Zonda or an Enzo to sit alongside my RS4 which I'd love to be able to keep without ever having to sell it to partly fund another car. I wouldn't have/ need to spend any more money on it as it's perfect the way it is. :)

This^^^^

Plus I'd make Audi an offer they couldn't refuse to buy their A3 Clubsport.

I'd buy and C7 S6 saloon and and C7 RS6 and transfer the wings, bumpers, engine, dash etc to make a C7 widebody.

Not expensive but just to fill my new oversize warehouse / garage would be a Sapphire Cossie 4x4, Escort Cossie & Lotus Carlton.

Not sure which of the modern supercars I'd pick but I'd have to have at least one.
