    id have a nice house in the north west of england complete with little machine shop, garage full of bikes, garage full of cars*, a paddock and stables, some horses for the wife, a shire horse for me.

    id own some gucci watches, id smoke fine cigars and collect rare and delicious whiskies which i would enjoy in an oak panelled study in an old oxblood leather chair enjoying freedom from everything.

    i wouldnt want any work of any sort, id want to sit in front of a massive telly and most importantly of all, i wouldnt want to be responsible for anything or its welfare. i wouldnt want any of my decisions to have any consequences so i would make a point of avoiding people i dont already know

    Apart from hookers and blow, one thing I would like to do, as I obviously wouldn't work properly, would be secret millionaire style, but transform a tramp. I'd go out onto the streets, and find the most derserving tramp, maybe a few, pay for any rehab, accommodation etc, and get them trained to Cyctech 3 and upwards.

    Then, I'd buy a huge bike shop, with various departments (MTB, road, family, kids etc), with a test track in a warehouse behind, and employ the former tramps, giving them a fresh start and a career. The bike shop would have a coffee/cake/bacon shop in it as well, for the wives to chill out in while the hubbys spend their monies :)

    Obviously if the former tramps messed about/fell back on the wagon, they'd be out of a job/home etc.

    Once the shop was established, I'd travel the world (few weeks at a time), with an uber expensive camera taking pictures of the worlds most interesting things.

    Someone in the us did that. Well actually they left a $100,00 in a suitcase for one to find and then documented it. Things did not end well.

    :lol: I wouldn't just leave a suitcase, I would make sure I'd have professional advice/people to assist in every aspect.

    Also, I'd offer Sheeps and Yeehaa both jobs on a daytime TV show (once I've bought a TV station), similar to Jeremy Kyle style things, but they tell the chavs how it really is. Props for the show would include shovels, pickaxes and a few ditches. I think a lot of people would like to watch that show.

    So defeat a lot of the point then yeah?

    Yup. Not a fan of driving on dirt, would rather have a R8 and hoss up the mountain than in another car and rally.

    Build a proper race track then

    Maybe I will, but driving up a mountain seems cooler to me.

    Plus i would defiantly have some sort of cafe there that sells domino's pizzas and subways.

    I thought you no longer liked domino's pizzas?

    I would get a massive warehouse and fill it full of cool stuff as well, mainly just one massive foam pit.

    Or have a house with a big lake in the back garden, and a massive ramp and jump into said lake.
  • Sort out some bikes and a decent bus and do a europe tour with my mates riding all over.

    This t.v. show sounds like an amazing plan. I will tune in to every episode, seeing as I wouldn't have to work any more, being rich and what not.

    I'd donate to the show for sure.

    I also like Thewaylanders idea of travelling Europe on a bus with the buds. That would be awesome. I may even have to ship this bus over to America and do the same there!

    Tenth of a billion... I would give a lot away, yes. I could get by quite nicely on just 10 million ;-)

    Hmmm that's quite some pay cheque. I'd invest some money in a chain of youth hostels and actively be involved in the running of them. Some of the best times I've had in the last few years have been hostelling. Part of that chain would include outdoor activity centres too

    I like the idea of running an mtb team too, but truth is with that kind of cash I'd buy Walsall FC as I hate the state it's in

    I'd also collect American cars, feck loads of american cars, anddonate a prize for the forum awards. As tribute to this years legend I'd have Rhyl renamed Sheepsteeth

    Oh I've just found how much it would cost to rename Rhyl. I'd budgeted for the signs but there's all the hidden costs like council notepaper and rewriting all those police reports. So instead I motion we rename Sheepsteeth, Rhyl instead
