You've got £90m and not bought a McLaren F1? Shame on you!

[Diabolik]

It's amazing looking at what you can buy with such a small amount of the total winnings.

I'd buy a Bagger 288

Panda 100HP
McLaren MP4 12C
A Mercedes E320 Sportline Cabrio (1996ish vintage, in blue please)
Ferrari F355 GTB manual in TDF Blue
Ferrari 250 GT SWB California
Jaguar E-Type S1 FHC for dad (too tall for a roadster)
Porsche 933 Turbo S (budget Flemke style)

They all have their place. The panda is the car for Sainsburys or abandoning in town. I can think of nothing better for the role.

In all seriousness.
If a normal person (earning less than £100k pa) was to win £90mil could they afford to run a McLaren F1?

How much would need to be set aside to earn interest and be invested in good return stock to keep that lifestyle alive for more than a decade?

Do we really need a thread like this every time that there is a lottery rollover?

Yes

90,000,000 at 5% interest and 50% tax in this green land = 2,250,000 per year or 187,500 per month after tax.

So in answer to the question; you can only buy 1 or so a year :P

No. Let's just revive one of the other 16,450 threads of the same nature.

Get real, even if you spent £10 million, you would still have £2 million a year for the next 40 years (without interest) to live off.

If you had £90m, go to sainsburys in your RR Vogue V8 Supercharged (plenty of room for the shopping), if it happens to get a ding or keyed, the weekly detail & valet all your cars get will pick this up.

RR Vogue V8 SC
Noble M400
Evo VIII FQ400
Lamborghini Countach
Porsche 959 in full Paris-Dakar livery
Escort Cosworth
Mercedes CLS63 AMG
Impreza P1

ETA: Would have a petrol tank & pump installed at the mansion as well to avoid the peasants.
