As with Mike, sod the kids, house and practical transport.  As to cars well, the list would doubtless grow, right up to the point that money ran out, but as a starter for ten:

Blower Bentley
Alvis Speed 25
Jaguar SS100
MG18/80 Tigress
Jaguar C Type
Ford GT40
Lamborghini Miura SV
Jaguar MkII
Jaguar E Type Coupe
Land Rover Series 3 109 Safari
Ford Mustang
Mini Cooper
MG Midget
MGA Twin Cam
AC Cobra 289
Ford Escort MkII
Lotus Europa (the JPS one)
Reliant Scimitar
Ferrari F40
Audi Quattro SWB
Jaguar XJ220

I reckon that lot would eat up around £1.75m of the lottery win - really exceptional value, considering the range of fun to be had with that lot, leaving plenty of dosh to travel around and race them.  Oh and to buy a Bugatti Type 35 and/or Alfa 2300C which I omitted from the list.  All would be equally at home on both the road or the track (with the possible exception of the Land Rover...).  Oh, and there would probably have to be be one or two modern heaps of junk to keep the missus happy.

I once heared a story of a D-Kadett (Astra to you guys, early '80's model) with 450 bhp.... Looked like the original thing, but was completly redone unterneat the hull. Pushing Beemers from the road on the Autobahn was the owners hobby. ;D

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

For Le Mans, a big slide out tourbus, with all the features

How about an Airstream Skydeck?


That's what I'm getting the next time I find a $200,000 note in the wash.
