What other hobbies except Cars???

[Darrell]

I do the odd spot of fishing in Skiathos harbour in October and then bit of gentle skiing in nothern Greece in January.

My other hobby is wishing I had a W202 AMG.

Living in Skiathos cant be so terrible ;-)

Hi-fi, buying records, live gigs, hill walking.

Except cars.... I love indoor rowing and have my own machine at work (concept2) that i use quite a bit (except i've just sprained my ankle again so thats out of bounds for 2-3 weeks ), reading fantasy novels (AD&D), playing computer games and keeping my 3 boys active are my main hobbies.

Going on holiday there and living there permanently are two COMPLETELY different things!

I thought this thread would be useful as I am just about to retire ....but I’m embarrassed because you all do so much when compared to me! Ah well..back to planning what I should be doing in retirement then.

Except cars and working on my classic car, I have a very fond interest in Model Railways (Märklin) and flying, both commercially and on FS9 on the PC. Love travelling!

Hmm, a bit of graffitti on the railway siding would make the whole thing a lot more realistic.

Collecting Dinky

 

[Mike Walker]

Try again - collecting dinky toys and military vehicles in particular.

I collect frequent flyer miles through flying, spending on credit cards or taking advantage of programme loopholes. This feeds my addiction to travel and means that I usually end up paying a lot less to fly in Business or First Class than those in economy.

I have been posting trip reports on Flyertalk so that in years to come I will be able to relive some of my trips. My latest report is about a London - Istanbul flight on a Turkish Airlines 777-300ER in First Class.

Hmmm - I had a long think about this and so many people here have much more interesting hobbies than me...

Sorry to be boring but I work a lot so don't have much time for many hobbies. I have two teenage sons and a gorgeous wife (22 years married this year) so spend my time trying to keep them in the life of luxury to which they are accustomed (yeah - right!!!).

Otherwise, rugby is my main passion - I don't play anymore (that would mean a certain divorce) - but have 2 debenture seats at Twickenham. Watching England has been really uncomfortable for the last few years...

Consequently one of my passions is drinking beer. And I've done a couple of wine tasting courses.

I play the piano to relax and I collect airmiles unintentionally because of the ridiculous amount of travelling I do with work. Oh and I collect Montblanc pens...

Biog over!

 

[speedybiker]

Mine seems to be trying to more money than the wife spends.

On a serious note, Shooting which includes both clay pigeons and hunting, Playing Guitars.

 

[CE230]

<---- Motorbike
Reading (50+ books) so far this year.
Voluntary work for the National Association for Disabled Riders (NABD)
Music, Blues and Opera mainly.
Limited walking when I can

 

[saorbust]

Ah Montblanc pens. Yes I have a few.

Apart from that I do a bit of journalism for some local rags, the kids and I are always mending nitro RC cars, and I'm also a keen clay pigeon shooter. I also do track day photography for a buddy of mine who runs a company that organizes some great trips.

We are all keen walkers and live in the middle of nowhere so we are often exploring the countryside and enjoying the fresh air.

 

[bpsorrel]

Apart from my love of all things automotive, I probably have too many interests really, but include: enjoying nature and wildlife, web design, classic cars, space exploration (sadly not actually doing it!!!), cycling, art, writing, travel (these days mostly to our summer home in Russia), and a love of animals. I also play percussion for a living!! That lot seems to keep me busy!!

Bigger than mine........!
