I would buy about 400 acres with a lake on the property, have an incredible organic garden and fruit trees, a beautiful smart home with a wrap around porch, all on one floor, a bunker with all the wing dings, 2 horses, a few chickens/rooster, maybe some goats. Home would be totally self sufficent--, but will have back up generators. I forgot the motorhome like the Focker dad dude.

I would buy a 6 person boat, a house on Virgin Gorda and an apt in France.

Cars- A nice BMW and a Chevy truck and a Harley trike.

That's all...lol

I've always dreamed of, if I hit the powerball or the like, moving to Nova Scotia, opening my own restaurant, and instead of doing it as a traditional business, just making what I want, when I want and not caring if I make any profit or not.

Oh, and an Audi R8.

I'd come to your restaurant. I love that idea!!! And although I've never actually eaten your food, I just know it's fantabulous!!! So eating at your restaurant is now one of my ultimate wannahaves.

I think that is actually a really cool idea for a restaurant. No menu, just come in, sit down, and get whatever was cooked that day. Real home style cooking.

Well, actually, I've been to a few places kind of like that, and plan on mine being that way. There is, technically, a menu. Written on a blackboard. Essentially, the chef went to the market, said "hey, THIS looks amazing today, I'll cook it tonight." They tend to be not exactly inexpensive places, but sooooo worth it usually.

There's an amazing place that does just that in Perpignan. Even better, the owner (a member of the Slow Food Movement) has a huge, slightly run-down old house just outside town, with an enormous market garden running to several hectares, and almost all the fruit and veg the restaurant serves is from that (as well as their own olives, and thus olive oil); every morning the chef picks him up from "home" in a beautifully beat-up old Peugeot van, they walk through the garden together, see what looks good that day, pick it and box it, put it in the van, drive down the road to the local butcher, get what meat they need (all local produce), then on to the coast not far away, to buy fish off the boats coming in (and if the one port doesn't have what they need they can drive to another not 10 km away), thence to the restaurant, to start preparations for lunch, then later dinner.

Better yet, the owner's Basque, so you get some French dishes, some Basque, and some specifically Catalan (his mum's Catalan, and insists on at least one Catalan dish every day). It's not even that pricey. Not cheap, but once you realise the time and trouble that went to make it, and you taste the results, you don't mind paying, in the slightest. Amazing place. I also like the fact that they aren't precious about food; they're happy (indeed proud) to make "peasant" dishes, and none of it is what you'd call "foo-foo" stuff.

There's a "menu" on various blackboards, but after I'd been there twice I gave up and just told him what I really don't like (which isn't much, but he remembered for next time, which I thought was nice), then left the rest to them. The rule is that nothing they serve contains anything fresh that comes from anywhere more than an hour and a half's drive from the restaurant.

Best of all it's next to a river, so it's a lovely place to sit outside and watch the ducks (and the girls) go by, and not too hot, even in the scorching summer heat. I'll be going back there this autumn and I pray it's still there - the owner wasn't doing tremendous business, coz many of the tourists seem to prefer a more overtly upmarket place - not that this place is run-down, just that it has a very down-to-earth, non-fussy approach to food. My idea of heaven, but many folk seem to prefer something more directly "upmarket".

I'm not sure they'd sell it, but ideally I'd love to own Kramářova Vila in Prague. Currently the Prime Minister's official residence, but he can live somewhere else, right? Hell, I'll rent him a nice apartment while he's house-hunting.

Barring that, I'll take a Porsche Boxter S.

Ooo, or Monet's Japanese Bridge in Blue!

"Something, however, is not quite right. It’s hard to put your finger on it but there’s something missing, and I think I know what it is. When you drive a Boxster, you do not savour the mid-engined balance or the hand-crafted soundtrack. Because this car doesn’t remind you what it is. It reminds you, all the time, of what it’s not. And what it’s not is a 911.

So you arrive at journey’s end thinking: “If only life had dealt me a better hand. If only I’d sold one more photocopier and married a supermodel. Then I could have had a real Porsche.” The Boxster, I’m afraid, is a constant reminder that the grass really is greener somewhere else."
J. Clarkson.

And, if you've ever driven one, you'll know precisely what he means. If you're going to dream, dream big :)

Plus, if providence is paying, I think I'd rather have something a tad more silly ... a Ferrari 458 Italia, maybe, or a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead. Yes, the Phantom Drophead I think ... any car that has teak decking that gets oiled as part of the servicing is ok by me :)

Lol. Good line, but I really just don't like the look of the 911. Not sure what it is about it, but I love the look of the Boxster. Perhaps if I drove the two of them I'd see your point, but from a distance the 911 doesn't do much for me. I'd still take one off your hands, you understand, but still. As to the Ferrari, growing up I was a huge fan of Italian sports cars, but at some point I lost my taste for them and now I can't help but think of them as being garish, by and large. Again, I'd definitely love one, but as an ideal? Not so much.

Quite a few Italian restaurants run that way, instead of a menue you have a blackboard where they write down the dishes, so you got a choice of 5 things, usually a fairly open kitchen where you can watch them prepare and the food and wines are heavenly... I miss that...

I totally agree on the Ferrari front ... my dream car when I was a teenager was a 288GTO, and since then they've lost the flowing, sinewy lines I so loved and gone for a harder edge. I haven't driven the 458, but if it's anything like the 430 I drove last year (which I'm told it is) then it'll be blisteringly fast, but kind of electronically "controlled" everywhere, unless you take the driver aids off, in which case it'll try to kill you :) It's a bit like owning a really killer dog that's fitted with a muzzle. The dog's fuck-all use with the muzzle on, but you just know that the moment you take the muzzle off, it'll have your arm off.

I can't grow to love the Boxster ... that "front the same as the back" styling makes me shudder, and while they're fun to drive, there's no ... oh I dunno ... no "seat of your pants, Jesus H Jack-Jumping Christ!" moments. It's like they let Marketing people and stockbrokers design a car. Try a TVR Sagaris - if you haven't screamed "FUCK!" at least a dozen times in the first 10 minutes there's something very wrong with you.

(mind you the TVR will break down 15 minutes later, but it'll be a very interesting and entertaining 25 minutes).

If you want something fast and also reliable, but still ever-so-slightly mental, then the 911 is still the badger's biceps. I thought about getting one earlier this year, but came to my senses - I get into enough trouble as it is, and at least on a bike I can get away from Plod; in a car there's zero chance on Britain's crowded roads. So I stuck with my fairly fast, but not insane, current car.

My ultimate dream is, having a finca in Spain, near the border with France.
There I would have a bunch of mistreated dogs, have a B&B for folks that have multiple dogs, so they could bring them with them.
Having a kennel, so that the guests could leave them and go for a day sightseeing, without to hurry back or being worried, their pets.
Do some cooking, do Art. People could come spending their summerholidays, or their winterholidays skiing, b/c this finca would be near a ski-area.

I would love to realise it in, let's say 10 yrs from now.

*sighs*

I've been having this dream for about 10 yrs now.

Oh indeed so, and I wouldn't downplay that, nor be daft enough to do that "if you want something badly enough you'll find a way" crap that idiots so often come out with.

But, even if it doesn't ever happen, or doesn't happen til much later in life, don't lose the dream.

That is common here, and the places are cheap. I think it is called homestyle cooking, and they do whatever veggies look best that morning at the farmers market. Good stuff!
