Heck yeah! Like how John Travolta's garage is also a hanger for his airplanes and connects right to the runway, I'd have a track for a driveway and that personal mechanic! :laugh:

[slofox]

I wonder if he'd buy me an 848? Y'reckon?

[Hopeful Bastard]

Some of you may very well know them! Went to the Burt Munroe, From the South Island and is into Classics.. How many does that narrow it down to?? :hitcher:

But seriously, Well done to ya mate. You are only half living my dream if I won!

[HenryDorsetCase]

I like that woman's pointy li'l boobies. Just saying.

[Road kill]

Good on the guy.

Personally I'd only buy one bike an over time I'd give the rest to those kids and a few other people we see on the news every now an then that are being let down by our shitty health system.

Would be a very nice bike though,,,oh yeah:woohoo:

The Yank Powerball was drawn to a record (ridiculous) $575 million 1st prize last night. 2 winners. (not me though)

The winners don't get anywhere near that amount. Winnings are taxable, and the payout is over a period of years. If they want to take a lump sum, the payout is a lot smaller. (still lots of millions, though)

[Crasherfromwayback]

I've got a very rare factory SR500 works bike he can buy for the right price?:innocent:

[Road kill]

The rest of the money :facepalm:

BTW,,as a troll,,that was a total fail but it does say a lot about you.

Yeah about $180 million if taken in a lump sum. Calculated like this. $575 mil halved for takeing the lump sum payout = about $287 mil then tax paid on that amount. Or you could take the drip feed over 20 years which is $575 mil with tax removed but if you croak before the 20 years the remaining cannot be willed away and goes back into the lottery coffers.

[jellywrestler]

I want a Cyclone board tracker.

Fuck I havent even spent the first million yet.

oh yes you have, and a bit more these days

[Tigadee]

The rest of the money :facepalm:

No offense, but what's it say about you if you didn't see the joke...

Nvm, no offense to you intended BTW, just so you know and can sleep tonight... :msn-wink:

Sorry but the subject of kids suffering while the fat cats get fatter is pretty close to home so yeah the joke probably did go over my head with a loud shwisssh I didn't spot.

So what's it say about me,,,yeah I did take it far to seriously.

Sorry about that.:Oops:

[Tigadee]

As you were... I'm already back to my fantasy of my personal mechanic... :laugh:
