Apart from the car stuff....

  • PS3 gaming.
  • Model making ~ all types: cars, engines, rockets, r/c etc.
  • Exercising ~ weight lifting mainly (nothing like your set up though Andy ~ just an exercise bike for warming up/cardio & dumb bells/barbell).
  • DIY.
  • Knife collecting/making ~ not so much nowadays.
  • Shooting ~ airguns/airsoft but again not so much nowadays.
  • Archery ~ compound bow shooting.
  • Walking (if you can call that a hobby :dry: ).

I'm building a house. It's eating all my cash so I don't do much else.

 

I bought a really expensive airsoft gun a year ago........and went once :)
