Those were the glory days when Nauruans were the richest people on Earth per head of population and the island was littered with wrecked Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Falcon GTHO's
Not to mention the young bloods on their huge 1500cc Honda Goldwings who would race along the airport perimeter road to try and keep up with a Boeing 737-200 taking off 50 yards away. The Goldwing would beat us to 80 knots but we had them by the balls by VR when they had to pull up to avoid spinning off into the sea.
