A GT3 would have to be on the list, I think the 600 or 800mm would fit in its front boot.

Dunno what you'd be planning if you won $20m, I wouldn't have time for one though. :p

I would 'cos I'd immediately be able to free up at least 38 hours each week :D !!

600mm+ lens would probably be on the list *sigh* If only

If I won the 20mill I'd buy a few houses, 1000 acre farm, razor wire fence, laser guided missiles to keep mormons etc off my dirt, a big 12mth european holiday, set the kids up for life, give the olds a holiday, and buy one of these

As for camera gear, one of these http://www.sigmaphoto.​com …500mm-f28-apo-ex-dg-sigma (external link) just for the "I THE MOST EXPENSIVE LENS OUT OF MATES" factor... I'd never be able to use it to 1/1000000000000000th its potential.

It would need to be since it weighs 16 bloody kilos. I would give it a go though...

My week would also be free, however, The Monaco GP is this weekend...Then the Champions League final's in 11 days...Then there's the Turkey GP the following week. I'm pretty sure I could fill up most weekends with sport for a good few months. :lol:

Absolutely.

My son and I were talking about this a few weeks back. I said the first thing I would buy would be a nice, shiny, new biro.

He asked me why I'd buy a pen and I said I would use it to fill in my resignation form :D

Before I google, anyone know the rules for cameras in the Melb Museum?? Might go along and have a look at the Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition

Features genuine artefacts retrieved from the wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic and opening on Friday 14 May 2010 at Melbourne Museum.
