Enjoy your stay.. This thread Inspires me to seek the next level of wealth..

Happy where I am, but my Wife and I are always scrapping for the next step up..

Life is the Journey and the Game, not the destination..

Rock on Mr. Weld... Somebody's got to do it..

Mike --- I'm 59 this August.... and this is the first time I've been to Europe - and the last Grand Prix I went to was the ones they ran thru Long Beach California...

This 5 days (of Monaco) is a ONE AND DONE for me... It's amazing but not something I'd pay to do every couple of years. It's off my bucket list and we'll move on to the next one on there!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Greg,

Enjoy.. Your Bucket is bigger than mine, haha...For now...


I started by building my Z/28, and then Yosemite , and then the Grand Canyon is next.. Baby Steps..

After that ? Who knows... First I need to add to my Bucket..

I won't take out of my Investments, because that is my Income..

I have some Irons in the fire, and I am luckier than I am smart, and so far, it has taken me far in life...Not Monaco far, but at 52, I am just getting warmed up..

Mike.

How you say, 'keep up with the Joneses' in français.

To be honest, it's so very infectious too. I'm embarrassed to admit that in a matter of 24 hours I found myself playing the "who's obviously not from here" game.

I am playing the " how do I get there from here " Game...

So I know this is a car forum -- but these boats outside our room are AMAZING and I'm sucked into the view like a moth to a flame...

Mr.Weld....I don't see ANY boats....All I see is Yacht's, and maybe a Feadship. Don't use the word " Boat's", around the upper crust , or they will just think you are " dingy"...

No more "Hillbilly "talk...OK ?

Oh and I know you have owned Grand Banks, some of the best Trawler's in the world, so I know that you know, You are just a kid in a candy store right now, and I am just busting your balls...And I am jealous...And you are in Shock..

Now owned by the Getty family... and it is only a lousy 80 meters or..... 262 FEET...

Love that classic styling. "Only 262 ft" Hilarious. I have a buddy who raised a family on a 65 footer in the Seattle area. He and his wife still live on it. He'd laugh his ass off hearing that.

I have another good childhood friend who just sailed from Mex to NZ on a 35 ft catamaran. In this case I would say only 35 ft.
