WHEN I MET TONY 28
YEARS AGO I STARTED SHARING HIS PASSION FOR RC POWERBOATS AND BECAME
HIS PIT MECHANIC. WE HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD ATTENDING RC
BOATING EVENTS. WE HAVE MET SOME REALLY WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND FORMED
SOME GOOD FRIENDSHIPS. I REALLY ENJOY RUNNING HPM AND SEE IT AS A
HOBBY NOT A JOB. I LOVE DOING THE WEBSITE & MEETING YOU WHEN YOU
