Just bought my tickets and was wondering, what would you do if you won $100M?

625 x R35 GTR @ $160K ea.

5 x A380 @ $20M ea.

1666 x R34 GTRs @ $60K each

Besides the usual buy a big house, a few expensive cars, own business or retire and never work etc..

I'd have the usual plus an A380, R34 GTR, R35 GTR, probably a lambo or ferrari, private jet and helicopter, invest the rest into building my own brand of something..

I wouldnt tell a soul, not even my wife lol

...until AFTER the divorce settlement - and THEN claim the money? :P

Aaah, the dog (man's best friend) will love you - no less & no more than - after your win!

Daily: Evo 9 or X

Towcar - unsure yet!

Nice trailer and do the 33 up like crazy, money no object - mmmmmm

Would get a nice block of land and build a nice house - have been planning a house for a while heh, big garage/workshop with mezzanine office

I'd keep working, I enjoy what I do too much, but I wouldn't have the worry of losing my job.

Might spoil family, but everyone owns their houses already so a bit hard to do!

Buy a lot of property - good long-term investment.

Start up a trust-fund for kids when I have them, but never tell them we own all these houses and stuff. So when they turn 25, there's a bunch of money (100k? if they're buying a house, 250k?) - dependant on how high house prices have gone.

There's probably more, but that's a start.

Its funny how people talk about investing in houses and stuff like that, but when you look at it, even if the bank will only offer you 0.5% p.a. return interest on your 100mil, thats 500K that you earn in interest every year, and even if the government takes 50% in tax off that, i could still comfortably live off 250K a year without the headache of worrying about where my money was being invested into.

Even after a few years you will run out of things to buy or spend money on, unless you just start buying rediculous shit that you will never need.

I'm kinda with Damien on the whole live off the Interest thing..

Though with 100mil you could easily hire other people to manage your money for you ..So you still would do nothing , just sit around and watch the money roll in..

I would no doubt buy a nice plot of land somewhere ,10-20acres at least. Maybe start up a little hot rod shop or something from home and spend my time traveling around the world finding/buying rare cars and parts and building my own customs. Create my own brand then sell them, not so much for profit but for my own entertainment.probably build a race car or 2 as well. :D

I'm assuming last night has jackpotted again then cause I didn't win it. :(

I mean i would definately have the house on nice land, a couple of nice cars and help the family, but i wouldn't just blow my money on shit i didnt need like 2million dollar jewel encrusted rims for my blinged out hummer or shit like that.

Even though you'd have the money, you'd still have to keep it real and be down to earth.

Too much money messes with peoples heads.

    • When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
    • Today in Skyline arts and crafts!! I鈥檝e made some progress.    had to put extra notes in there so I don鈥檛 stuff it up 馃槀
    • This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
    • So I ran into the same problem. I got stuck in the cycle of again of putting putty sanding it, putting putty sanding it, because of a low spot. And notice my block is not completely flat with the panel, even though it's a long block. My panel is slightly curved. Is this an issue? Do I need something that matches the door perfectly, or no?    I do have the smaller flexible block that covers the width of the repair just not the length, I was experimenting with it again to but seems to be the same issue
