The lottery....

[alan_driver]

If you won the lottery (whether you play it or not) and got say £10 million. What would you do/buy?

Think I would set-up my own business. Get one of every TVR, Nice house, Mclarren F1, Jag XJ220
move out the uk??? tricky one, certainly an appartment somewhere.

Sorry if this has been talked about before.
So what would you spend it on?

[andyrixon]

If I remember correctly, on Top Gear there was a house in south France that had a great race track in the back garden. Think 7million euros.... Spend the rest on a few choice cars... Enzo, Mclaren F1..

[alan_driver]

Yep, a very nice house and track too!

[Graham.J]

I'd buy an off-shore life boat and name it after my grandad who I never had the privilage to meet.

Then I'd buy some choice cars, and a disused airfield.

Fast cars, big house, sea plane, yacht or two, couple of trips around the world, (one in the plane, the other the other way around in a yacht)..

Or, to quote George Best on loosing all his cash the first time around, 'fast cars, loose women and drink - oh an I probably wasted some of it too'..

Or do as one wise wealthy man stated about keeping cash;

If it flies, floats or f**ks, rent it!

Sod road cars, buy a race track and a couple of 2-3 year old F1 cars, oh, and an intensive care unit trackside for when the inevitable happens...

I would probably set up an equestrian center and learn how to play Polo, buy a few cars and build my own house with another house in the grounds for Roop to keep the growing collection of Tamiya cars in.

[tuffer]

I would try and make friends with Hugh Heffner!!! Then go on a year long holiday around the world whilst my house was being built next to a dissused airfield (leave that hanger mate I shall be filling it when I get back).
Cars: Gardner Douglas GD70 for starters (any PH'rs got 1?), Enzo, Murcielago and a couple of smaller kit cars for a laugh, something like a Coram with that V8 bike engine that was at Autosport.







Oh yeah and whatever the wife wants!!!

[CarZee]

I'd take out some contracts on people.

[MikeyT]

Almost did - see below

[RedTeg]

Hmmmm?
Clear all the families debts (mortgages/loans .etc.).
Throw them all a huge holiday/piss up somewhere.
Travel to all the places I've wanted to see.
Sample all the cars I've always liked one at a time - buy one then trade it/give it away. Don't want to amass an unused fleet.

[Mr E]

Try to persuade Mr Wheeler to make me a road going speed 12.....

Vrooom.
