Pick up
stripped to bare metal and rebuilt from ground up and SLAMMED look. Eitherr powered by highly modified A series or rear wheel drive front engined V8 (pretty much impossible to get what I want, Slammed, rear wheel drive, Front mounted engine in a standard round nose with possibly a blower poking out the top- go crazy!)

Mini other
Build 3 other minis I have in my mind from a v8 rear engined roadster to a Audi powered Zcar and a classic standard Mk1 cooper S

Daily drive
Keep it fairly modest (but still over £80k worth of car!) Brand new Audi A8 (or maybe A7) 4.2 TDI
(poss have a different mini in each country I own property?!)

Car other
Mod my 99 A8 and generally go crazy with its looks and under the bonnet. So much you could do with that 4.2 Petrol V8!

I'd put it all in the bank and live of the interest. I know its not a lot but with £18m it would probably get me by.

[minidream94]

Thats what i would do to be honest, stick most of it in an of shore bank acount and live off the interest.

What i would do though is firstly sort out my family, buy them a nice house and car etc then stick some money in my siblings bank accounts.

Cars and house wise,

House 1: about million pounds worth build to my liking with an underground garage and a seperate underground parking area to hold all my cars, in the british countryside somewhere
House 2: nice villa in spain somewhere
House 3: would be a nice log cabin in canada somewhere in the moutains as a get away place
House 4: nice modest house in australia somewhere

My estate would get a full rebuild from the ground up, and a mk1 lookalike added to it with a tastey k1200rs 1293 turbo with around 300bhp id aim for

id get 2 or 3 shells from heritage and have them sent to zcars for a busa turbo, audi 3.2 v6 twin turbo diesel conversion and then the other shell would be a works rep cooper S

id build a cosworth powered mk1 cortina and a tricky spec mk2 escort rally spec

my family car would have to be an ausi rs6 avant but with the lambo v10 installed in the front

id also have a series 1 landie, but with a chevvy 7.2 silverado diesel engine in for when im offroading

then id give charity a far bit aswell

omg that's almost EXACTLY what I'd do, but I wouldn't have the series one, it would be a new defender and I obviously would rebuild my car not your estate , would also probably be a 2000e cortina, mk 2 or 3 forgot now lol

oh and I wouldn't give any more to charity I'd kinda start my own chairty, I'd just try and help some people I guess, I wouldn't want to just give money, I'd want to see the differnce it makes.

[minidream94]

yeah it would be a charity such as help the heros or something

[danrock101]

yeah, I'd give some to certain cancer charitys aswell. Would give alot to family, would put £1mil to the side somewhere I can't touch for 10 years just incase. Then I would buy the nurburgring for the day on the ring run for ring runners to use

[minidream94]

Yeah i would sort my family out first, then stick money in there accounts aswell so there safe. but yeah id give help the heros and couple of cancer ones aswell and like u put abit in the bank and just let it gain intrest

Crap myself, faint, regain composure and a change of pants, heart attack, recover, spend spend spend. In that order too.

I think I'd have a big house out in the countryside somewhere with an even bigger garage with a full workshop and space for all the cars and possibly even a nice big yacht stored in Monaco for the odd holiday, (I fell in love with that place on holiday)
