Brilliant! I'd really got my eye on a Focus Ghia but I didn't want it to seem like I was coming across as too aspirational.

Such a shame Capris are not made any more. I see you in one of those, lime green with customised flared arches.

Probably Ft Mac, with that kind of money I could just afford to buy a house there, plus I hear its a great place to raise kids.

If that didn't work out then Santa Cruz California

Would go back to London get a gaff in Cyprus and possibly get a mark 1 Cortina or a Hillman Hunter oh and a Mark 1 Golf GTI..And maybe a couple of blonde sorts to keep me company.

I'd buy one of those heritage homes in the downtown core of Vancouver, something cool about being in a quaint house surrounded by skyscrapers :cool:

Canada has a lot of positives and negatives just like anywhere else. I cannot believe what is going on in Europe and would rather be in Canada at this moment in time. So here's the question, if you won the lottery and could move anywhere in the world were would you go if you had financial the freedom?:confused:

I'd have a place on the Vico Rd in Dublin and a farm house in Italy. Maybe a cottage in West Sussex somewhere.

Vico Road looks spectacular. Is that where some of the U2 boys live?

Yea and lots of other famous people. When we were kids we'd go to Killiney Beach by Vico Rd. My mum would always point out which house she'd have if they got rich as we drove along :)
