    Hmmm... Hobbies other than cars...

    I like to draw, pinstripe and do graphic design/Flash stuff! :)
    When I have time I ride my mountainbike or has some fun on my skateboard!
    When I travelled in Australia I bought a surfboard, would like to surf more but my conditions here in DK are not the best...

    And about this networking...

    Anyone in the US who has their own Magazine/ Graphic design studio or works at one that could use me for a internship one or two months in february/march or april 2007?? :)

    I collect Roth Memorabilia,
    http://www.kaparich.homestead.com/rothkits.html

    and I'm a self taught amusement historian. Roller Coasters, carousels,Old parks, Coney Island etc.
    This interest led me into woodcarving, and I now make my living in that industry creating 3D sculptures from basswood. (lots of carousel horses and such)
    I also have a really big collection of pedal cars as well.

    I'm one of those damned lefties, too creative for my own good. So, here's the list of O/T hobbies in no particular order:

    Motorcycles, ridin em, workin on em, & buildin em.
    Model railroading, mostly N-scale.
    Carpentry.
    Coca-Cola machines, restoring & the like. Have a 70's 64-bottle machine at the powder coaters right now!
    Photography. Next to my car & the '56, this is my most expensive hobby, and one of the most fufilling.
    Oddly enough, I like to sew things. Car & bike covers, soft luggage, spare tire covers, toneus, seats, I can make anything really. Side bennefit of having industrail machines in my shop at work.
    Art, mostly pencil drawing, but lots of technical & graphic arts stuff as well.
    And, I build & modify computers. Not any good at programming, but I can build one mean mutt! :D

    Lots of RC airplanes, some electric, some homemade gas. I also just ordered a RC helicopter, that should be expensive to learn to fly... I'm the road captain in the motorcycle club I belong to, so I ride the ol' harley quite a bit. I have a 2 year old son, so I don't have time for too much stuff. I spent 6 hours today digging snow out of my driveway, but I'd like to quit that one.

    Motorcycles actually got me into cars, but lately the cars are taking over. I still ride twisty mountain roads whenever I can.
    I love hiking now and then.
    I have played guitar since I was about 12 but never got good enough to make any money at it so I got into the technical side of music.
    I mix and record bands live and in the studio and if you ever want to open a nightclub and need a killer sound system, I can build a pretty mean one for just about any budget.
    I had a nice microphone collection at one time but i sold most of them to buy car parts :D
     
  30. Same here. I got big bucks for my RCA 77DX and my Neumann KM84.
