The skies the limit

So heres another food for thought and one i know most of us have entertained.
If money was no object and we're talking big lottery win here,or perhaps a cheeky £45m on the euro lotto!!


So you have bought the AM or maybe splashed on a Lambo,Ferrari,Porsche etc and now your keen on doing some big things to your everyday car that took so damn much to make happen.

All the overtime and saving,ball busting to get the bits done and now you can practically click your fingers and get it done...LARGE!!

Thinking so far outside the box you can now easily get a rear wheel or all wheel drive system made to your spec.You can actually have a hand in co-designing the requirements and spec of some tech gear for the car.
Have pieces made one off and get firms to tool up for one run!! And you never know,you could get into this with such a passion you could even stamp then with your own branding and sell them on for cheap as chips money to fellow car modders all across the UK who are paying way too much to get the job done.

Ok,so you might not take the Robin Hood ethos to the car modifying world but you can def get some parts on the car that no one else has done.Your imagination is now your only weakness so with all those Mil in hand,dont let yourself done.

Just think,it means having one off wheels designed by you,cut for you and then presented to you alone.You have seen brakes on something but want them converted for yours,...job done.

Any paint job of any colour and as many coats as it takes.

I know deep down i would leave this mondie in the wings for at least the first year while i thrashed the dream car out of my system.And when my feet came back down to earth i would really settle into a big project.

The overwhelming problem is not the result but the sheer possible rejection from everyone in the community who would resent a big million pound build more than they detest 'cheque book' cars already.So imagine that amplified 100 fold.

But heres your connection i think.When you do make parts as mentioned above,you can offer deals and help people out to bridge the gap when it comes to specialist needs.
Put as much back into the scene as you are taking out and i think you could strike a balance.....In the absense of balance you are going to look a giant schmuck and just another rich tosser.And we have enough of those in this country we dont need another one....

Id def consider a 4x4 conversion on the 220.As much as i love the wheels id get 20" one off rims make from a design id work over for as long as it takes.
Custom suspension and full adjustable allround.

Id take a long time to think over the paint.Either re done to a very high standard or a one off paint nicely mixed from a few other ideas.

It could take a couple of years to really get sunk into but imagine what you could achieve.I think getting so involved would result in a line of wheels not just one set lol and lots of one off part ideas for what people were crying out for.

ok so maybe there would be a little Robin Hood going on,but that kind of money is pretty sick if you dont feed it back into the world and share it.
