My hobbies.. Let's see. I play soccer in the ACT 4th Division. Like/collect DVD movies (about 60 or so in the collection). Play Computer Games on a regular basis at LANs etc.

I also tinker with old Amiga computers. I have an A1000 (circa 1986, still works great), 2 X A500's, 3x A1200's (one dead, one with 68030cpu, which got me on the internet in 1993, and other with 68060cpu) and an Amiga 4000 (with Cyberstorm PPC cpu card). I am also the Vice President of the Canberra Amiga Users Society Inc.

I also play an Electric Bass Guitar at an Ametuer level.

Im allways tinkering with the old XY,bought it with a stock 351 clevo with a futura body, a nut got dropped down the carby and that's where it all started. Good motor to work on for the novice, plenty info on the web from the yanks. All you need is the folding stuff.

I'm an addicted audiophile and home cinema nutcase.

What little money I have left over after bills goes into that.

I play A grade turf cricket in Melbourne and the 3 kids under 7 take up the rest of my life outside of work and sport!

Maybe my priorities in lifr need a slight adjustment

[Guest rpmjunky]

yeah I play footy and cricket, but also do alot of xc mountainbike riding, race in the adelaide mountainbike club

[dankman]

I'm a sad case as well :lol:

I play with routers and servers for fun. Spend hours in front of the dang things to keep up to pace on the latest technical enhancements for my job. I also run a small hosting service to pay for all this and that keeps me pretty busy in it self.

I follow the V8's and if I have the time either flag or spectator control at winton, bathurst, oran park and eastern creek. I occasionally head to Wakefield park as well and flag for the Q'ies, Konica's and Brute utes.

Drinking can be called a hobby? I enjoy the occasional quiet one at the pub on a friday night after work.

Green thumb when time permits, trying to keep my garden up to scratch is a pain in the butt, but gets me away from the computers for a few hours every week.

Also go to the Gym a few times a week to stay somewhat in 'shape' :D

Other than that playing with my old EA used to be part of the weekends activities, although I sold it nearly 2 months ago, am so hanging out for my 'T' 3 more sleeps!

Let me guess Ken.....Crackerjack is your all time favourite Aussie movie :D :D

It was actually quite funny ... well, I thought it was ...

BTW Silverhawk, awesome work.

I to am artistic yet I do not really use my talent to it's potential (or anywhere near it). Simply because after the stress and BS I face each day, I collapse in a heap once I return home.

Always been meaning to get set up with an air brush, compressor, paints...etc. Air brush is by far my favourite medium. Currently, Black and white line drawings would be my forte. Love Science fiction/Fantasy art. Always dux in art at school. Went on to study art, major in illustration...etc, etc. Where did it get me? Nowhere. Hence I now listen to retards on a daily basis. (IT Support).

I'm currently working on a dragon illustration for my mate in the USA, lol, I'll get there someday Todd.....

Music, Guitar/Vocals..........Ask Goose. hehe, I plugged in the Axe for him to listen to a few things I've worked on.....Hadn't picked up the damn thing for 2 months...lol. He was still impressed. Poetry, lyrics for the original songs I've composed.

1st person action PC games, Quake 1 to 3, UT, UT 2003, C-S, etc...etc. Was in a Quake clan called the Black Widow's....(And the level of 'geek' stops there)!!! :D

People say I'm talented in many ways but I cannot see it...My own worst critic.

OK, Some of this will be a bit boring.

Enjoy Sunday lunches & drinks with friends anywhere around the BrisVegas area.

Unfortunately, overdoing it in my youth has worn out the bod so sporting activities are limited. Been seriously considering Lawn bowls.

Still an avid petrol head and general mechanical nut. Will watch any powered sports, aircraft, watercraft etc. Restore furniture. Enjoy time with first grandchild.

Next week-end am teamed up with a Turbo 180B on the Mount Cotton skid pan. My Daughter-in-law will be in her 2002 WRX and my son will be in his newly acquired 96 200SX (Modified for tarmac rallies) Will be needing a lot of luck to get near them.

Got to turn my TC off so, with no TC, auto, LSD and 450 NM torque, should be interesting on a surface with about the grip of wet ice!!!!

Will have video of my efforts.

Hobbies.

Play the guitar (since I was but now no longer have time to be in a band. Have a beautiful 1957 Les Paul Black Beauty and a Korina bodied Gibson Flying V (Thanks Ace Frehley for brainwashing me into Gibsons when I was a kid!)

Spend a lot of time listening to old Kiss records.

Collect old fuzz/distortion pedals.

Am an avid watch collector - big fan of Luminox at the moment

Love reading books about war (esp WW2) and politics. Generally do a lot of research into exposing lies and myth propogated by Left wing sympathisers

Absolutely love driving cars and riding motor bikes - have the best job in the world. Get paid to drive a brand new performance car every day. The trade off is the cretins I have to deal with and the abuse from all those people who won;t take any personal responsibility.

Constantly tinkering with the Dodge. Will do the same with the Mustang now the XR6 ute is gone.

Also (due to work) I enjoy keeping fit as I'm a member of our high risk-anti terrorist uit in NSW (SPG) Mainly concentrate on simple things like running, push ups/sit ups/dips. That's all anyone really needs.

Like Ken I occasionally surf the Net for porn LOL

[Cro]

In between washing the car, driving the car, and the ocasional porn download, I only have time for masturbation...

A favourite since I was 12....

:D
