Default Stuff you’d buy if you won Euromillions

Forgot the obvious house and car stuff...get your geek on...


This: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Concorde-...YAAOSwUf9cdvw6

Don’t know what I’d do with it, but two things I’d do...buy it, and then fire it up

Thinking about it more, I’d like to try and buy another three engines and a Concorde to install them in, as well as a airfield to fly it from...obviously in a country that has more relaxed aviation rules.

Don’t think even a Euromillions win would stretch to that though

Seems like a lot of money... Would a complete Concorde be that much more considering it’s scrap? Forget that, just googled it and a group are trying to buy and fly one with a budget of £120m!


Just reminded me my grandparents flew on Concorde and had a memorabilia ornament (think it was a cigar case or something) funnily I don’t remember finding it when we cleared the house after they both died. Used to be on their bedroom window sill for years.

4 car garage with hydraulic ramps and heating, full range of tools and air compressors. Aswell as a photos studio big enough to put a car in with a green screen wall and as many lights of all shapes, sizes and uses that you can shake a stick at.

Oh and a spitfire

Both the track and the full loaded garage, tools and cars, with masses of space in a warm climate and I am sorted. That is it just those 2 not much to ask.

I have a feeling I’d end up with barns full of random stuff and me pratting about all day.

Probably reminiscent of Dave’s farm (without the pedo stuff ).
