Could you not stretch to a new one if you won the Euromillions??

[SuperNiceBig]

Jeez that's before youv'e won. I wouldn't own a thing, it would (I hope) simplify my life.

Literally in this order:

1. Buy an Aventador, GTR & Range Rover for myself. Jaguar XKRS & G63 for SWMBO. All from stock for instant access.

2. Pay off a few mortgages for friends and family, take a few car shopping also.

3. Purchase a used 730D with full time chauffeur for my grand mother.

4. Rent a big house I know of locally

5. Buy a certain piece of land I know of

6. Build my dream garage, basically something like this:

Only much bigger with a 360 degree turn table. Underground then there will be two storeys, each capable of holding 12 cars - spaced evenly like the numbers on a clock. Basically drive in, press a button and the lift will take you to the desired parking space e.g. level 2, 3 o'clock, then simply reverse the car into its position. The cars would always be parked facing the middle so if I felt like it I could stand in the middle and admire the twelve cars (on that story). The garage would be all white tile.

I would then access the main house via another small lift. Ohh and of course the house I would build on top would be excessivley large, something like this:


7. Build a new clubhouse, training facilities, kit etc for my rugby team

8. Build my own empire consisting of a number of chip shops and a car "customisation" place making cars that don't exist such as:

• E63 AMG Coupe / Cabrio
• BMW M3 Estate
• Z4M latest edition
• 1M Cabrio
• M3 / M6 CSL's etc

9. Decide and Source 19 cars to fill my garage.

10. Get married

11. Spend a 12 month travelling around the world.

12. Come back and run/expand my "empire" like any normal person

13. Have Kids

14. Enjoy Life

*I have thought this out, probably too much actually

Why when this question is asked do people say they would keep it secret? I realise there may be some free loaders giving you grief but big deal. There are plenty of other millionaires in the world who manage to get by without the secrecy.

[JREwing]

I'd just go on a massive bender (as in a drinking spree, rather than something else). That tends to be what I do on receipt of good news or bad news. It probably happens too often.

I think buying a load of things esp at once would stress me out. I'd do what someone else said, keep things simple and do exactly what I want to do, when I feel like doing it.

Yup, I want one of those too.

The problem as I see it though, is you would never really fit in with the other millionaires would you? And going down the local, everyone would be thinking "Surely he can get rounds tonight, he won the lotto?"

Break my leg to get medivac off.

Surely it would be easier just to hire a heli to fetch you?!

Depends. He won't have the money at that point.....

Hmmm, wait one day for funds to clear or self-inflict a broken leg with all the pain and risks involved? It's a tough one, for sure!

Your all looking at it the wrong way. I can pop my knee joint out, I've dislocated it so many times I've done it will washing the car even. The shortage of helicopters means that I can't just get one to come out. I'm not even risking putting a 225 back into service. S-92 for me any day of the week.

I don't think the oil company would be happy having a private heli landing on the oil rig. So that idea is out. I can't think of any other way.

It's either that or do what happened to the last boy that was taken back, Seasick to the point that blood was coming out of other holes in the body. Not something we want.

I would suspect he wasn't too enamoured with it either.....

Just daydreaming about your fantasy garage (by far the most impressive I've ever come across! ) and am trying to figure out how it would work.

The lift is in the middle of the circle. The lift floor rotates, not the whole bloomin’ garage.

That makes sense, I knew I was missing an obvious solution!

So, the cars are arranged around the outside of the circle and the "bay" on which each of the cars is parked, when selected, moves into the middle of the circle, which has rotated to accept the bay and then rotates so the car is facing the correction direction when it reaches ground level, before lifting it to ground level.

That way you can select a car from ground level and have it "delivered", without the entire garage lifting to ground level. Would be neat if there was an "auto-start" feature fitted to each car so that it was already warming up by the time it arrived.

Another neat trick would be to build the house and the garage on a cliff, so that even though the garage is subterranean on three sides, one side is the cliff face and replaced with glass. Might be a bit tricky with any landslips though.

I'll take the risk. Where do I sign up?

Ahhh so no one won. So I can now go and buy my ticket and win £72 million instead!

Save your cash, that money is mine :P

[nickbee]

I honestly don't know what the first thing I would do is, I have no idea how one deals with that kind of adjustment. Once I'd got my thoughts together, it would be spent on either:

Opening a charitable trust, writing cheques to a few family members, buying a beautiful house, taking a long holiday and starting a business I loved, whilst collecting lots of cars.

Or:

Building an inpenetrable fortress in which to live, hiring several henchmen and investing in smuggling operations, porn production, nightclubs and gambling institutions, whilst collecting lots of cars.

I just can't decide which. I guess it's just one of those things you never know 'til it happens.

[z4chris99]

I would not tell anyone, go on a nice long few months holiday and sort my life out.

I would spend the morning just helping my grandparents with errands before presenting him with a cheque to ease any stresses over a nice pub lunch. I would then go to our local Toyota dealership and buy a new Toyota Auris Hybrid* - then I would go to Meadowhall and do a bit of shopping.

I've read that as if Alan Partridge was saying it.

[rehab71]

How many cars/vehicles do you think you'd actually have? I'm sure I'd have circa 40 vehicles as when it comes to classics there are just so many I'd want in my collection.

Back of the net!

[Getragdogleg]

Absolutely nothing different, I would get up, get the baby up and do all the morning things, you know, drink tea, have a piss, scratch my balls.

I would then go to work, except I would not do work, I would piss about at 5ish I would go home and do the whole bath/food thing and watch tv and go to bed.

I am happy, 60mil might change me in a way I don't want. It's why I don't do the lottery.


I might buy a bigger house, this one is nice but it has no garage, I would probably go on a few more holidays and hire a cleaner.

I'd fill my man cave with 24 cars and then probably have a large lock up somewhere too. With a £60m win I'd have no qualms in spending £10m on cars with the majority being under £150k and the most expensive being around £700k. Roughly I'd say I would have around 60 cars, appt number
