If you played the Lottery, and won - what would you spend the money on?

Now, i'm going by the UK's national lottery/Euromillions, in which all winnings are tax free - so no moans about paying the tax man :icon_razz

So - say you were the sole winner of last weeks £76,000,000 jackpot ($118,415,600 US) - what would you DO with all that money?

Obviously, since we're car freaks here, we'd spend it on cars... :icon_bigg

I keep thinking to myself 'ooh, i want that!' when i see something i like, so of course, my lists of 'what do i want' keep changing.

Now, there's no limit on the amounts of something you can want, so, go on, have some fun. And Try and get pictures up of the things you want (makes it all the more fun).

Let's sort out the garage first:

1992 Lotus Carlton (3.6 litre Straight 6, DOHC 24v w/Twin Turbo's, 6-speed Manual Gearbox and RWD):

1992 Toyota Supra Mk3 GT Limited (2.5 litre Straight 6, DOHC 24v w/Twin Turbo's, 4-speed A340E Automatic and RWD)

1995 Toyota Supra Mk4 UK Spec (3.0 litre Straight 6, DOHC 24v w/Twin Turbo's, 6-speed Getrag V160 and RWD) with the Active Aero Front Spoiler & Hardtop

1980 Lotus Sunbeam (2.2 litre Slant 4, DOHC 16v, 5-speed manual and RWD)

1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 (1.6 litre Inline 4, SOHC 8v w/Garrett T3 Turbo, 5-speed manual and FWD)

I'll leave the list for now, and add to it later, but it's enough to get you thinking for the moment...

Obviously, i'd have to have a pretty big garage/warehouse and a decent enough house with a Man-cave to store all of it - so i'll add that to the list...

Oh wow, this is tough. I'd build myself a fortress of a house on the outskirts of a developing town or metro area. Something with a ten-car garage complete with a few lifts, a dyno, a few toolboxes filled with snap-on or matco goodness.

I'd make a series of badass MK3's and start a shop dedicated to them. It'd be like a massive mk3 dealership/tune shop in the middle of the States. Kinda like a MK3 oasis. :)

Then I'd start buying cars like mad:

I'm not one for particularily rare cars, so I know my choices are rather generic. :) I'm sure I could come up with another 25 cars that I'd kill for, but that short list will do for now.

Though after having that much money, I'd have to start becoming a better connoisseur than I currently am.

I'd start with a bigger house that comes with a bigger pipe to the internet. What can I say, I'm a technology geek.

Then I'd buy a few cars... but not likely very many, to be honest.

A nice motorhome for when I feel like visiting my friends in the USA:
luxury-motorhome-stores-car.jpg


And then, oddly enough, I'd probably park most of these while I visit some places around the world I've always wanted to go.
- Scotland
- London
- Tour a bunch of castles in Germany
- Greece
- Monte Carlo
- Isle of Mann
- The Amazon rainforest
- Cape Town
- A bunch of places in Australia
- A bunch of places in New Zealand
- Tokyo
- Tahiti
- Cruise through the Panama Canal
- Probably take me a year to visit all the places I'd like to see in the USA.

seriously, if you gave me any sort of money that would eliminate my need to work, id prolly last a month before i turned up dead in a ditch
My job keeps me out of trouble and makes me keep my nose clean.
lup sum, id probably buy my mother a new house, buy my sister a house and pay off her college loans, and set aside a big chunk for my little brother and little sister
the rest is mine,
I dont need a house, ill stay in a hotel wherever i go
i dont need a car, because ill have a limo and plane tickets

I'd take a lot of money to this guy right here - and see to it that TN had a F1 worthy race track.

It is a big goal of mine to make a track in TN, very close to Nashville. Tn is such a prime place for a real track. It would also bring in a lot of jobs, which would help the economy here 10 fold.

Mark my words though, lottery or not in my lifetime I will have a track built here.
