nice house in the country with a nice tarmaced area to play around on. underground carpark with some rather nice cars in, nothing too flash, bugattie varyon [sp?] 911 turbo, cayanne turbo s, few run arounds aswell.

travel around europe driving is something i'd really like to do, not really interested in seeing the rest of the world tbh!

I reckon i could spent 50mil if i tried.

I know for a fact even if I won 5 million id be dead within a year, that I have no doubt.

And id STILL love to win the lottery more than anything ever, I might die, but those 9-12months id survive would be shithot

Why stop using PF? Do you not have ANY real friends on here you'd want to keep in touch with?

I'd buy an Apache helicopter and go speed camera hunting!!!

Plus you'd have to land in your local Maccy D's car park to get a takeaway just to upstage the local chavs.


You'd need a minefield around your new mansion because as soon as anyone finds out youve won Ł80million you would have every criminal scum and scammer in the country head your way.

Plus you'd be able to tell the butler to "clear the bodies off the lawn!"

Pay of the familys mortgages and debts so they have a clean slate plus obvious bung them a few quid to ; Ł30 each

Personally i'd split it into 5 sections:

1) Give 10million to cancer research
2) Give 10million to the british heart foundation

(Lost my dad to heart disease and have lost 4, soon to be 5 relatives to cancer)

3) 10million in property - not just uk based, but worldwide - and allocate some for travel to them.

4) 10 million spending spree on a range of things such as cars, bikes, boats etc.

5) Stick 10million in the bank and live off the interest

Err, how much would it cost to buy vast amounts of the UK and make a huge Nurburgring replica?

I'd definitely be able to spend it, I'd have a huge patch of tarmac a la Brunters in the middle of nowhere, buy off anyone in the immediate area and say fook off to noise limits. Huge garage just off to the side with an RR, dyno room, loads of 4 posts.

Quarter strip running along side it and a little track like Coombe on the other side. Ahhhh, live the dream

Only have a small close family so would help each of them out as they have helped me a lot.

Buy a nice place here on the foreshore or maybe one street back so it doesnt get buffeted by the wind. Second thoughts by both and make a tunnel. Live in one and sleep in the other.

I would need to work as I enjoy the challenge and the social interaction. Plus technology is like a race, you get out of it for a year or more, you have a fight to get back in.

Few nice cars and a yacht as well as some in high interest/investments.

Finally would pay out the debt on the current company I work for and set the MD's wife and family up for the rest of their lives and sell the business for them.
