Being at sea for 16 years had its pro and cons. Life at RCCL on that cruiseship was very civilised, and i loved the job,but my wife gave birth to our first son, so it was time to get a real job!! Being away for 3months at a time just didnt suit my life anymore with a new son

That CAT is a powerful machine. Gough and Gilmore in Sydney has a huge warehouse of these enlarged Tonka trucks. Great site to visit. Plus they are the major sponsor to the FPR V8SC.

That boat would of been great to drive. Dad has his Masterclass 4.
