Reply With QuoteI'd buy La Forteleza in Majorca and have friends and relatives to stay all year round.
After making sure my family and close friends are secure and taken care of, I'd:
build a house in Australia on the farm, with a retreat center and holiday cottages;
probably buy the other top floor apartments next door to me, and convert;
buy a few of my favourite motorbikes;
buy a few cars, GT3, Mclaren 540c, 911 Turbo, SQ7, Toyota LC70 4.5D, a Massey, a few farm bikes, a few quads/side by sides, and a lot of cows 🐮 ; and
buy quite a few more watches - I'd possibly give a few of my current watches away and add a few that I've wanted to try out for a while, or replace some that I've missed.
Rather than having too many homes dotted all over, I think I'd have a few in my main residences and just rent elsewhere.
Just waiting for my friendly Nigerian to hand over the cash now - happy days :)
It's just a matter of time...

The new Ruf CTR, a Singer, Porsche 918, a vintage racer (poss panamerica carrera) plus custom 67 GTO a 350 GT Shelby maybe a 427 C2 corvette coupe.
A nice house on the banks of decent sized river in the UK, plus a nice beach front house in the Med (Corsica or Sardinia) plus an apartment in West London. A Vintage Riva for the river and a Wally boat for the Med.
Some nice paintings, a box at Twickers, and membership of Wentworth/Goodwood.
Oh and a double red SD, PN Daytona, Mil Sub and Panerai 6152 Angelus.
but if you asked me next week it would change.

We took on our current BT, Dot, when the original owners couldn't handle her anymore and she bit the lady owner in the stomach.
She is pretty well trained now but will never be as biddable as Deana and she sometimes laughs at instruction.

Pipe dreams … The odds of the big win are "Millions to 1" but people like to think they will win … because the media makes 'box office' out of the very few winners' stories … as if we all stand a good chance of winning too. But the fact is there is more chance of being involved in a catastrophe (in the broadest sense of the word) than there is of being a lottery winner … and nobody wishes same on themselves or others. There's no such thing as a 'free lunch' even if the media hints that there is. And every week the media has many more catastrophe stories than 'free lunch' scoops. If you want to play those sorts of odds be prepared to lose a lot of ££ trying. You'd likely be far better off saving your ££ and buying a Rolex sports watch to enjoy and maybe not significantly '££lose' out on if sold in a few years time. The only consistent lottery ticket winners are the organisers … if they did not make a profit there would not be any lotteries … and the same applies to high street bookmakers. Too many punters think they can beat the system … but 99.99% never do even if they boast of their 'winnings'.

"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
And 'Killjoy Post Of The Week' goes to........
Nearly all replies to the original post are 'ME ME ME … WANT WANT WANT ' .. and not one word about e.g. helping those who lost homes and loved ones in the Grenfell Tower disaster … or putting a few ££ in the TZ UK Fundraiser.

"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
That's probably because the opening post said at the very beginning:
I'm quite happy with my answer to this hypothetical question and I feel I make enough charity donations in real life.
There are threads dealing with these issues already,which include those which have raised lots of cash for the Grenfell residents. This is a fun thread...lighten up.
Homes in Aspen , New England & New York .
Cars 🤔🤔 vintage BMW csl , Audi Rs6 , Rolls-Royce wraith .
Oh and carry on buying the big issue. ( keeping it real ) 😏
Perhaps because many people do not feel the need to advertise their charitable giving.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Ferrari F40, 288GTO and 246 Dino
Porsche 993 GT2, Carrera GT, 2.7 RS and a Singer hot rod.
Ducati Panigale Supperleggera
Probably a Range Rover, for the sensible car.
Plus some nice properties - Italian lakes, Swiss Alps, Cornwall and The Ardeche.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Well, you lot have all missed out.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
That's a shame. I guess somebody else will now buy the mini McLennan chronometer and that pair of Jan van Kessel the Elder paintings in the upcoming Sotheby's sales...
