Some people are seriously lacking imagination here!

[i]a new full sus for me and the hubby. [/i]

A new bike for every day of the week and every possible riding niche, a house built specially for them and a small army of butlers to clean them.

There, that's better.
And at the end of every year I'd give them away to Youth groups/cycle clubs etc to help get more people into the sport. Some would probably end up being sold for £50 down the pub for the next drugs hit but you never know, the next Steve Peat may just turn up because of it.

moses, your choice of hookers is quite specific - is this experience talking? good call though.

i doubt if i'll spend much my of my £45m on 'things', other than a decent car and house. i'd prefer experiences, travel, mad adventures with my kids, giving it away, etc.

incidentally, some bloke in northern ireland is being plagued by people who think he was one of the winners.

Start up a proper UK mtb bike company, 100% UK production and revel in UK engineering expertise.

I'd buy XH558! Then when grahamt1980 goes out chav hunting with his paintballing spitfires, I could come along and carpet bomb the neds too 😀

£45million should keep me in avgas and paintballs for a few months.

A beer.

Then I'd sell everything and home school my kids by taking them around the world.

Then a chunk of Spain (or other similar country) to run a mountain biker's retreat.

New teeth, by the most expensive dentist/orthodontist I could find.
New shoes, so I could walk more (well, if I had £45 million, I wouldn't be in any sort of hurry, I could take my time doing anything I wanted.)

First thing I'd do is not tell anyone 'cos I couldn't be arsed with all the "can we have £X for X" requests you're bound to be inundated with.

The sort out family & close friends etc.

Then figure out what to do with the rest of my life avec the wife.

Might buy a nice car or two and a proper nice country place to to keep them in and the inevitable horses that the other half would buy.

Then..............
