Now $15 million to spend. What would you buy?

[Prince.M5]

^ With $15 million you could probably set up a FIA GT team, but not a F1 team unless you like having cars at the back of the grid with poor reliability.

Even HRT have 30 odd million.

Gah! Scratch that

I'm actualy thinking of setting up a Touring Car team to compete in BTCC, WTCC and such. Much more competitive I think...

 

[Feral Pigeon]

-buy a Lola B11/60
-start an ALMS team
-get a nice loft
-buy a Volvo 240 GLT wagon
-convert said Volvo to 4WD
-convert said Volvo to a pickup
-drop 540 hemi into said Volvo

With this money I would build a race/drift track, hire workers and the money would return to me over time. However It would be put enjoyment to have my own track to drift/race on.

$15 Million huh, let's see...

1) Would tithe 10% - so that would mean $1.5 million to my church...who could actually use it.

2) Would buy a house for $1-1.5 million. Nothing huge just big enough for my wife, myself, 2-3 kids (have 2 working on 3rd) and a couple dogs.

3) Not sure what would be involved in having to do this but would like to import a Nissan Skyline R34. Of course would have to get it switched over to left-hand drive.

4) Pay off all my debt so that I could be debt free (this would include blowing up current credit cards).

5) Put at least $1 million aside for both kids (and third when born) for college and stuff. Of course, they will not be able to touch it until they get out of high school and only if they are enrolled in college or have graduated.

6) The rest would probably be saved or invested.

$15 Million to savour for the rest of my life while keeping my current part-time job.

$15million will go towards living expenses, and emergency-use. My part-time job would be my personal spendings...

Honda's test track in the US.

-Million dollar house ($1,000,000)
-Custom Zonda ($1,500,000)

 

[Akmuq]

Build a race track which is very good so the money comes back to me and I can build grandstands until it becomes massive. Then I have a billion.

 

[Minty]

A normal sized house with a massive garage. I would try to find somewhere that was near some smooth winding roads with very little traffic, and almost no police patrol)
Corvette ZR-1(Blue)
Ford GT(Black, Grey stripes)
Cadillac CTS-V Coupe(Dark Grey)
Ford SVT F-150 Raptor(Orange)(Gonna need this if I plan on living in the middle of nowhere)
2011 Camaro Z-28(whenever they actually release it(Most likely Dark Grey depending on styling)
69' Boss Mustang(Blue)
One of these:

And one of these:

This monster:

Whatever's left will be placed into a bank to grow, and I'll pull it out as I need it. But with all I'm getting insurance may stop the money from lasting my whole life.....especially since I'm 18.

Funnily enough, the last big lottery pot here was around $20m.

I already had my list from that one drawn-out.

About $5m goes to building a racetrack. Labor is cheap here, I can actually build something pretty spectacular. Another $5m is enough to build a small technical school, a garage and some commercial stalls to make the track profitable. A good house goes for under $1m. I'd waste just $300k on cars... likely a few Locosts for track rentals, some classics and just one or two sportscars.

The rest goes into various investments. Possibly building kit cars or one-offs at the garage, or investing in "green" technologies and promoting them, in order to bring in more revenues for the track.

For $15 million, I would:

1) Buy a Mazdaspeed Miata, an MB S65 AMG, a BMW M Coupe (the one based on the Z3) and 2 E39 BMW M5s and a 540iT. One of the M5s will be a donor for a E39 M5 Touring conversion (hence the 540iT).

2) Buy my parents whatever car they want.

3) Purchase a very nice house (~2 million dollars?).

4) Buy some stuff for myself (PS3, new computer, a big screen HDTV, electronic gadgets).

5) Build and fill a wine cellar with bottles of good wine.

6) Donate a million dollars to set up an endowment scholarship fund for my University.

7) Donate quarter million to my local library system and another quarter million for the educational foundation for my local school district.

8) Put away and invest the remaining amount of money.

This is with the understanding that I will continue holding a job and earning a regular salary.

Assuming a conversion of approx £10M something like this would be a good start for about £4M including plenty of buildings for a garage and workshop

Pagani Zonda F Clubsport - Approx £1M as an "investment" and something nice to put in the garage

Supercar Hire Club - Approx £20K per year

Ducati Desmosedici RR - Approx £40K

MV Agusta F4 100 - Approx £15K

Ermmm...a weekend in Centerparcs

God knows what I'd do with it all, probably worry about it running out so invest most of it for a very early retirement. Good fun dreaming though

I cant believe you exist becaise y fave car is Zonda F Clubsport AND im insanely in love with duvatis especially tht one you posted...

 

[RikkiGT-R]

I would spend about $2 Million of it on fast cars, drink, women and gambling. The rest I would just squander...

In seriousness:

A great house I've seen listed for £700,000 ($1.12 Million) on the coast nearby.

A GT-R Spec V (His)

A Honda NSX-R (Hers)

I would transform one of the rooms in said house into my own "Miniatur Wunderland" [sic], as well as another room being a games room for my young boys, and another room being a games room for adults (including a Scalextric Grand Valley Speedway for nights in with friends).

I would have much fun.
