MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Id go for a house with a workshop to build bikes all week long near the welsh borders.
What Bikes? Velocipedes to Penny farthings, anything and everything!
Meh, gotta dream!
Nice house(s) Nice bike(s) Nice car(s) Nice holiday(s) Nice everything(s)
Oh and hookers 'n blow, natch.
new Jaguar XJ diesel with a tow bar for the bike rack
Nice, modern house just outside London, with enough land for a small skatepark in a barn and some dirtjumps/pumptrack. Otherwise a house/apartment in the south of France somewhere, then the next thing to do is emulate Anthony Bourdains' No Reservations.
Buy another V6 Vectra...this one was full stripped back down to just two front seats, engine modified and full cold air system, braided fuel hose etc.
If won the lottery I would build a silly stupid engine, gearbox inside something akin to a touring car. (but still with the ratty exterior)

Oh get rid of that god awful van, for a Vito.
Why? Not like fuel costs are going to be an issue? V8 all the way....diesel
diesel
I'll need to spare some cash for the new house, red wine and malt whisky collections but it would enough to get me going for a few days post-win
Cadwell park and 10 motorbikes 🙂
A can of petrol for my lawnmower.
House in the Alps
A Malteser the size of The Death Start.
...and hookers n' blow.
land
Actually I would buy this.
http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/18770269
I would too. I've already planned the MTB friendly bunk house business that could be run from the barn.
Oh my thats nice!
Hands off. It's mine!
Is that McMooter's out house?
...and hookers n' blow.
No blackjack? What is the world coming to?
I would: Buy a smallholding somewhere warm, make babies.
House in Mid Wales
House in America near my in-laws
First class transatlantic flights
Nice caravan
Nice car/van to tow it with
Olympus E-5 - not because it's the best at anything, but because I could afford to indulge in niche behaviour safe in the knowledge that I could also get a 5D, an OM-D or whatever else I fancied
But that's about it. I might set up a business to employ local people doing something fun and useful, and live off the profits.
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/bmc/timemachine-tmr01-ultegra-di2-double-2013-road-bike-ec043712
Full stainless workshop
Build a Caterham
Go racing
After one of the recent draws the update thing they give after the BBC news said there were 6 or 7 lucky winners each winning ~£700k.
That wouldn't go far after all the hookers n' blow. Definately not going to get somewhere decent in the Alps.
Some local woodland with no official footpaths in it, but plenty of establish paths in it. I'd then ride round with my mates waiting for a jumped up nimby redsock to tell me that I'm not allowed to ride there. I would then have great pleasure in informing them that I am the landowner, they are trespassing and must leave immediately by the shortest route. Otherwise, I shall release the hounds*
*note to self, buy hounds as well
Depends how much I won, I'd like to start my own business though.
And a Cotic Soul.
I don't like blow due to sinus problems and blackjacks just get stuck in my teeth. Would just hookers be acceptable?
Chain Reaction
I'd buy every member of STW a sense of humour.
dwarves with trays of cocaine
An Aston Martin
Place in France
House in the Lakes
Villa somewhere

£100k - house deposit and a holliday/car.
<£1million - hosue, and some buy to lets so I could imediately retire relatively secure.
<£10million - land and lots of it, with a big hill and a chairlift system.
>£10million, the hill gets bigger.
I liked the style of the woman on Deal or no deal who had £250,000 and 10p and an offer somewhere in between.
She lost and her response was "well I wanted a £200,000 classic Bently, so the offer woudn't have been enough anyway".
with a really big win I think I'd get me a women's cycling team...
Several thousand acres of land.
House with a big garden & big garage that needs renovating
Old vw camper
Motor home for longer trips
Landrover defender
Maybe a tractor if the garden is big enough
the world's nicest pork pie.
I don't know what or where it is, but I will spend my millions finding out.
How much have I won?
Sort out all my family close friends for money. Move to somewhere hot and sunny.

Guns. Just guns.
Maybe one of these in my garden.

and the rest to cancer research/macmillan
if you're giving it away, can I have some?
The Pork Pie Charity Fund is always looking for donors.
Guns. Just guns.
not a bad idea as they will likely appreciate in value and you don't pay capital gains tax on guns
Two Pints and some crisps - you never win more than a tenner.
depends on how much - but lets assume we are talking £100 million + euromillions win -
Really nice family home near where I live now (North Kent)
Flat overlooking the Thames, near tower bridge - for nights out in London
Cars - starting with an Audi RS6, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a Discovery 4.
Little place in the Alps for summer biking and winter snow.
motor home for festivals/events
I'd then quietly give a fair bit to various charities, including the one run by the doctor who is presently treating my little brother's incurable cancer - because without him, everything above won't be as good.
As Freeagent for the big Euro win. Just enough to the children that they need to carry on and make something of themselves in the region of 250k each.
I reckon I can manage on £20 million and the local hospices get the rest. (Family has a loyalty card with Ipswich hospice or so it seems).
Huge tracts of land. Then I'd carve trails and berms and jumps and rocks and climbs and bombholes all over the bits of land on every scale from BMX to Humvee. Then I'd surround the land with signs saying 'no trespassing', rip down the fences, and walk away.
A house in a nice part of Bristol
A country pile with some land in Wales (and employ some people to make trails)
A couple of fast cars
An assistant to deal with (i.e. reject) all the begging letters I will invariably get
Alpine retreat (Meribel)

Weekday residence in Primrose Hill

That`d do for starters.
I'd buy STW, maybe even a subscription....

Ermm
Dartmoor
Bentley
Jeep SRTv8
bikes, lots of bikes
House like Tony Stark's in the first Iron Man
Maybe a summer at Whistler and a house there as well.
I always thought rather than buy a great big shiny car it'd be nice to have someone drive me about when I want to go somewhere so I could sit in the back and play video games or read the paper or read a good book, that'd be mint.
I'd buy Odell brewery, lots of highland bulls, some land in Moab and host the biggest, baddest, Bikes. Beer and BBQ festival EVER.
apparently a pension would be a good idea.
nice house
nice car (several)
umpteen nice bikes
2nd house in canada
sort family/friends out with cash
probably give a load (read 10s of millions) to cancer research/macmillans
this is assuming a massive euromillions win.
nice bit of land somewhere close to where I live now to build a big bungalow on.
Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Villa on a small Greek island
Then put a sizeable amount into a high interest account to keep me going and give the remainder away to charity
I'd buy Greece. All of it.
A gun, a sharp suit, and a licence to fart in politicians faces.

It's only done 300km because that when it started to rain and it broke down 🙂
Another one who'd be bidding for STW too,purely to ensure that Smut was removed from the adverts but was compulsory in the threads
If won the lottery I would build a silly stupid engine, gearbox inside something akin to a touring car. (but still with the ratty exterior)
This is my brother-in-law’s car - it looks a heap but it has a Chevy V8 in it and sounds like it wants to eat you when it is started up 🙂

Ohh, and this is his too...

I don't think I'd change my bikes. I would however buy a track bike and possibly a folder, not sure if I'd really need one mind 🙂 Also possibly a DH bike and BMX, those would be in doubt though.
Already picked my des res when I win Eurosquillions...

+1 AB no reservations!
I'd have a massive blimp though & tour the world eating in various back-street eateries after a day on the trails, jumps or sea etc
Oh the ford from Mad Max II
Oh and a lot of scrumpy jack

If I won BIG I'd like to follow Will.I.Ams example.

Nice house in SoCal
Nice chalet in the Alps = http://www.rightmove.co.uk/overseas-property/property-40170893.html
An RS6
Sort retirement for the parents
Lots of rs6s there!
I'd have to buy a farm in the Yorkshire dales and keep pigs, ride bikes mess round with land rovers and drink beer in the warmer months, I'm lucky enough to have all the bikes and cars I want, So I'd spend the rest taking or sending my friends and family on fab hols with a first port of call being a month in the Rockies snowboarding.
How much is an Apache helicopter these days?
Nice house in Whistler or Vancouver.
Andyrm, £40million. Euromillions for that...
Some place in Mallorca
A bike shop which was next to my cake shop with my personal whore house above them both.
Training coaches who just happened to be fit, firm and female.
Another business franchise 80-100 miles away and then another equi distant so I would have a 3 day loop with accommodation and recreational needs taken care of.

A house overlooking Lake Wakatipu.
A chalet in the alps, Meribel or Courchaval I think.

You win the lottery, what do you buy?
Depends on the amount surely?
Over £6 million is properly life changing, and a lot of things I'd buy then (e.g. Mk.Vb Spitfire) wouldn't be realistic with less money.
But yeah, nicely fitted out workshop/machine shop/garage would be up at the top of the list. Indoor shooting range too (for those windy days).
buy land around the edge of Munich with the view to it increasing in value.
buy a mountain in the Bavarian Alps and start carving some trails.
build a house on my mountain. house must have a small woodwork shop.
buy a roof terrace flat in Munich.
a small cottage (akin to what you see on Midsommer Murders) somewhere in England.
a large house in Vinschgau that i would run as a business. make into a bike hotel and employ locals.
a large hydroponic set up in the Bavarian house.
a "big" bike. i'd keep the DB Alpine as it is... it's pretty much perfect.
a Caterham 7.
a VW transporter with bike rack.
