That's not to say it's the only thing I'd buy, but I'd certainly start a big collection of 4wd turbo classics.. STI RA's and type R's, 22b's, Integrale's, sunny GTi-R, escort cossies, Audi Quattro, etc. Obviosuly there would be the F40 and modern super car exotica too but it certainly wouldn't mean I'd just go and buy a load of brand new stuff only. There's so much more soul in the older stuff. I'd enjoy immensely walking through my warehouse of mint 4wd turbo beasts, then onto the classic hot hatch section..

I agree, there is certainly a lot of cars I would get, as well as a few nice Imprezas - A few RA's and a 22B would be good.
But for me there is only 1 car I have only ever dreamed of, and that is the McLaren F1 GTR, that would be first on my list to find
Would be nice to have a huge warehouse of classics and exotica like Jay Leno has

I'd have to buy a racetrack....and all the houses within earshot so I can turf out the NIMBYS.
A garage and car collection to put Jay Leno to shame. No car or vehicle in particular; Just anything that gets my interest, buy it, use it, then swap it if I get bored of it. (for example - we have a 500SEC AMG in the workshop, I loved it until I drove it...disappointing..a TWR Jag XJS from the same era is better to drive).
I'd have a stab at building my own cars. Or at least developing a few engine/powertrain ideas I have.
The house would be a modest 4 bed.....built on top of a bat-cave garage

Why bother to buy cars when you can just rent them for a fraction of the cost and then get someone to drive you around, it's £93m you boys need to start thinking investments to make your next £100m.
Oh and I'd give away the same amount that has been given to me over the years, which is the grand total of **** all.

My grandad's business partner was like that...proper scruffy git (think 1960's builder).
Business boomed. He went into a dealership in his work clothing covered in cement builder's sand etc straight from work in the builder's van.
Mercedes salesman ignored him; little did they know that he had enough cash in his pocket to buy three brand new high-end Mercs for all three business partners.
Jaguar dealership gave him the time of day and so he purchased three Jags on the spot. From then on up until the early 1990;s the directors all had Jaguars as company cars (guess where my Jag came from...it was originally a company car until the inland revenue took too much interest LOL ).

Having known someone who won £56m on it a few years back I'd probably give most away and keep enough back for "retirement". It's a daft amount of money to be responsible for. I couldn't deal with it tbh. I'm too used to the challenge of staying in the black.
Whilst a mint Evo Sport E30 is a nice idea.........I'll leave it there.
Smashing Cirencester Poundland's Saturday takings record for all time is also a nice idea. See above.

I'd buy the houses of my four immediate neighbours except the pillock who lives next door, then sell them and my own to the scraggiest chav scum families I could find for £1, just to spite the tw@t. When the houses were ruined with gardens littered with scrap, old fridges, cars on bricks, beer tins, and the area decayed beyond recognition I'd laugh my **** off at devaluing his property and financially destroying the prat.

It almost like you've thought long and hard about the details - snigger.

Have you guys any idea how much £93 million really is? You have really got to up your expectations.

Nice country pile and a Land Rover defender to patrol it
And buy all the Range Rover sports I could and melt them down into a statue of Victoria Beckham
