...say, 10 million. What would you do with yourself in the day etc?
Theres only so much travelling, flying, partying you can do?!
What would you do to keep you're mind busy and what would you spend 10m on? Also, would you keep you're current car?

Start a race team in an affordable race series and just live that competitive life style.
That would be the "thing that kept me busy" after all the other cool stuff u would want to do

you could fly first class and put your daughter in economy class and inform the press what you have done and say you couldn't afford to buy your daughter a first class ticket because you only won 24.3 million in that old lottery for women called marriage

I would still work as a Joiner TBH,reason you ask,well because if I wasnt in a job I would end up squandering the lot,IMO you need to try and keep as much a grasp on normal life as possible or it will all end in tears!!,, plus it would be funny as fuck sitting in the meetings with the workforce and all the gaffers listening to them banging on saying "come on lads we need to do more work or we`ll lose this contract and we`ll all be fucked"!!...........erm you will mate,not me LOL

It would not really change my lifestyle but would benefit my kids. No desire to own cars that I cant afford already & would not move from my present home which is already too big. I dont work, but my day is total filled with things to do. It would be different if i was 30 years younger but I aint & my lifestyle is set in stone & I dont wish to change it, anyway its not my style to dream about things that are unlikely to happen. Im content as things are.

Fuzzy - I know what your saying about your old mates. BUT how do you ever make a new mate without thinking "would they of been my mate anyway?"
You do need to go through life making new mates all the time or you would get bored v.quick IMO

I would make sure all my family and close friends were financially sorted with nice houses and cars etc. I would buy a large stable/competition yard and set myself up with some serious horses/equipment and compete them all. I could not sit around getting pissed or not havea job so i would be self employed with my own yard and would make a substantial profit from that. There would also be a large worskshop on the land called MSD for Stu as he would NEVER give up working
. If we had that kind of money we sure as hell could make a whole heap more thats for sure!!

Would probably immediately squander a good few hundred k on cars and bikes !!
Would start up my own business then and build huge premises with all the latest and best equipment and restore classic cars back to their former glory as its a job i dont think i would ever get bored doing as been doing it for over 20 years so far and still have a passion for it !!
Would have all my family debt free and living comfortably with no more money worries and would try and have as many of them as possible involved with my business.
Would build a race track similar to Knockhill but have it up in the north of Scotland as we have nothing like that up here and know there is a demand for it so am sure that would keep me occupied and busy for long enough.
Would spend time travelling the world a bit as well as have never been abroad !! Could afford to go to all the great sporting events and do it all first class with VIP status where ever you went !!!

just thought of another, but doubt that 10 million is enough - build an exact replica of the nordschleife in this country. don't know if it would be a goer, as it doesn't have the history - but just get clarkson to drive round once and you'd get hordes of followers on every weekend

you do make new mates all the time but you know whos stood by you in the past till the death and who hasnt when its mattered. new mates wont ever be like those that youve known since primary school.thats not to say they wouldnt be good mates but just not the ones youd be sharing your new found cash with right away.

i'd buy a business,something like a nice italian resturant.to keep me interested in something.i'd buy a reasonable house out in the country away from everyone.not too big just nice,big garage,large plot for the dogs and a basketball court and pool.
i'd keep the cossie and buy an f40 and a yank tank,plus a nice evryday car like an m5.
sort my family and enjoy life as i want when i want

i would set a side 1 million and get all my mates together and see what each one would do for money ie
start low and ask
would you let a tramp with aids spit in your mouth see who would do it and carry on like that
always wanted to make one of my mates like a dogs cock that would be a good one

Very humbling Rod!
Me... not sure what i would do..... i dont have family so i couldnt exactly spend it in them..... i guess i would make sure all my close friends are very well htought of...
Id buy clive back and restore her immaculately and actually put an engine in her that worked

I would make sure Lee could have his ultimate porsche thingy, and anything else he could dream of.
I'd set up some sort of sanctuary for unwanted animals of all shapes and sizes. That alone would keep me busy.
And just go see all the places in this world ive always wanted to!

I would buy a nice house with stables lots of land in the sticks, and train horse's to bring in some cash and compete again to keep my self busy! Miss my horse's just can't afford them any more although working with them is very rewarding its slaves labour so gave it up years ago lol

We were talking about virtually the same thing at work the other day - what would you do to fill your days if you never had to work again and could do anything you wanted.....
I like lazing about, but if I have more than two days off in a row I get restless and I NEED something to get stuck into to occupy me - I rarely ever take more than a week at a time off work as I go stir crazy if I have nothing to do!
Sad as it sounds, I probably end up working 3 days a week just to keep busy! No idea if it'd be my own business or whatever, but I'd have to work! Rest of the time getting shitfaced and laid as much as poss in as many different places/countries as possible
