Walk out my house with a credit card and small rucksack.
Catch the train to london, taxi out to Heathrow, first available flight to NY.
Bum around NY for a few weeks then hire a decent convertable and drive to mexico via california, florida.
Hop across for a couple of weeks in the Bahamas then over to Miami to catch a flight to Japan, then Thailand, Cambodia, India, Sri Lanka and a final few weeks in Australia before catching a flight back home.

By the time I get back my Bentley Arnage T and 720bhp Ultima GTR should be ready for me

First ? I would ring my boss, either on his mobile, or his home line, and tell him that I no longer want to work for the company. Wish him all the best.

Secondly, I would pay off the old mans mortgage on the house that we live in and then give him half of what was left (him and my mum have helped me out in my 24 years of life so it's a small token of gratitude).

I would then get a gaf somewhere, maybe in the country, with a massive garage for 1) Imperial Blue Escort Cosworth 2) The RS Turbo, and 3) a mk 2 XR2

I would then set up my own computer company for 50% of the peeps on here

NO eagle, you don't get discount m8

Then possibly consider getting a Dukes Of Hazzard replica General Lee

Maybe enrol in a mechanics course or something.

I'd give my mum everything she ever wanted for all the support she's given me thru my life, give my dad some cash or buy him a house, pay for my bro to get his license, buy him a car and a house, give the rest of my siblings ten grand each and pay all my friend's debts off. Being young, nobody I know owes that much. Then I'd get my license and an Evo, kit it out with bling parts and buy a gorgeous house somewhere nice.

Then I'd take a very long holiday

Oh and I'd buy AJ a yellow Mondeo for his troubles

first off id give my c*nt of a boss the letter of resignation thats been sat in my desk draw for the last few months.

secondly id tell said boss to go fuck himself

then buy/build a fucking big house for me and the missus

i dont think my mum and dad would want any cash as they have payed their mortgage etc, but id buy em both some quality prezzies

id pay for mine and the mussus wedding so her parents dont have to, and pay off their mortgages etc

id give me bro some cash for him and his missus house/wedding

id give me other bro some cash to pay off his house, but make him sign summut to make sure that if (more like when) his slag of a wife ditches him she dont get fukk all

prolly try and start my own business in motorsport, maybe even join simon (SECS) as a partner and help him take off his bussiness propperly, as he has some fantastic equipment, but as most are aware he could do with beter customer skills lol - no offence if you read this simon

and in the meantime id buy some quality cars, most likely crash and die aswell but ho hum...





unless of course i only win a tenner

Pay of mum and dad's houses

Give em enough to retire and live on

Get myself a fairly large house somewhere in the country with lots of land.

Have a small racing track built, just big enough of cars and more than enough for go-karts.

Have a HUGE warehouse full of cars and a full workshop.

Maybe a nice penthouse suite in NY

Holiday

Any left over, into a offshore savings account
