    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, 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.

    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

    Actually I would buy this.

    I would too. I’ve already planned the MTB friendly bunk house business that could be run from the barn.

    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.

    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?

    £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”.
