PH Euro Lottery syndicate one-off: let's do this!
Discussion
The first time the topic has gone quiet!
Anyone plotting what to spend their £6.5k on if we hit one of the raffles? It's not enough to change your life significantly, but here's a few options you might consider:
- bills
- 'luxury shedding' and contributing many times over to the frivolous purchases thread
- sizeable chunk towards a weekend/track day special
- nice holiday
Anyone readjusted their aims? Would you be sensible with five figures or just spray it on nonsense?

I'd be a bit gutted but £73k is a lot better than nothing!
I wonder if I could justify blowing half of it on this:

So, there's a chance we could each end up with a £73k win. Scratching head as to what would be good value for money, I found this...a part finished aluminium bodied D-Type Replica. One could easily finish the project, correctly, for another £25-30K. Remove the existing engine, install a 4.2litre SerIII XJ6 unit, a 5-speed ZF 'box, Quaiffe backend, some 'v8250 special' suspension components, new brake system all round, interior and a correct paint job +++. Apart from dyno' tune up all of the work is easy to do at home. Would be a lot of fun for the money and the man maths leaves £10-£15k for petrol
Engine would be circa' 250bhp..."that's proper Man's BHP"...no electronic gismo's, driver aids, unecessary idiot apps'. Car weight would be circa' 930kg, 0-60 in circa' 4secs and top end in excess of 155mph. 20-25mpg on a good day...so, £15k in petrol money at 20mpg @ £1.26/litre = £5.73/gallon. £15k/£5.73 = 2617 gallons x 20 = 52,340 miles of Dunlop R racing pleasure. I think that's good dash for the cash...
