What other hobby/hobbies do you have other than cars??

Be interesting to see who has what in common given Darwin's size.

No secret's here I'm a dog show nut.


What's yours?

I am an ex hardcore wow player lol

Not really a car nut, used to play WOW, but not anymore.

pron..... that is all

oh and competition bf2

ewwww WoWfags AoC is where its at... unless the server is down.......

I play ArmA, go bike riding and i have an Ferrari Enzo model tha needs assembly..... should look good next to the r34 z-tune and 350z models...
oh and my latest hobby is map mapking for many games. got a few little islands for ArmA and a nice village map for world in conflict..... but the WIC map is buggy

I'm pretty boring at the moment. I suppose music could count as a hobby.

As a kid i collected coins and stamps. Got a few hundred coins that i should sort out and put into a better display one day.

Eww Age of constant server downs/bugs

When I stopped playing wow, ohh the best thing I ever did.

I used to enjoy model making

still with cars but i collect diecast models have 20ish v8 supercars and 3 of victor brays chev other than that just pron...

I used to fly nitro heli's but got too busy on the weekends. Play golf with the ol boy once a week though.


Oh, and surf pron.

pfft its pr0n .

Always liked the idea of being a good cook, but im too much of a lazy bastard

Ex WoW player thats moved over to AoC here too. But I play most games as they come out tho. Building PG Gundams and collecting TFs I guess. Big into comics and a fair bit of manga.

All your typical nerd stuff I guess.

Lately tho its all been the 'new home-owner' hobby stuff. Minor reno and gardening etc...

no pron?

work.

photography.....

just kinda pointing out the obvious there

im also a sim fanatic LFS FTW ..... racing simulators all the way...

I collect diecast model cars have 7 so far
I used to build 1:24 scale plastic model trucks and cars 4 trucks 1 with trailer, 1 with 3 yes a road train. 2 NASCARs, 1 pickup ovel racer, 1 JGTC racer, 1 rally car , funny car and 2 street cars

Used to enjoy riding my bike, fishing and surfing

have you tried rfactor?

that sim is win.... and it is a propper sim, supercars are very hard to drive.....

model car collecting
rc car shit
rc boat shit
breaking shit
secks


racing and flight sims

i used to dance.... for nearly 11 years

that was it!
i forgot the name.
i had the demo. it expired. tried a crack. it jumps me back to the menu at random intervals during a race, dont want to deal with the CRAP exchange rate thats been forced on to it. (US$40 normally $58 or $68 AUD for some STUPID reason....)

but yes.... from what i tried with rfactor... it was good too

dad and i are in the process of building up a decent simulator computer hes a pilot... and i like my racing sims.
3 screens, full controls (lookin for a cheap g25 at the moment)

well with the permission of the OP.....

this is now the Hobby/Current project thread.

so post up your current non-car related projects
ive posted one of mine above..... but the other is constantly the website.

Fixed

I reported ( ) the original post so it should change when a mod see's it. As long as it doesn't get skipped over.

I enjoy playing poker...be it online for coins or with the Autralian poker League at a club, or at a mates place for cash. Its great fun.

Also dont mind going for the occasional hack around a golf course, and heading to a footy game whenever i'm not at work.

Seem to spend a bit of time surfing the net and posting crap on here on my days off too

yeah i know what else you do LOL


I work and work..... Then anything to do with Cars.

yes, Texas Holdem for da win

me? or someone else?



love it hey

much prefer playing IRL life though...too many donkeys online who give me the shits...and cost me money!

you suck hard ok that enough now....

ahhh yes...i understand now thanks Hoover

My hobby would be giving the bank all my money in exchange for them lending me money for some over priced dirt i love the rat race.

yeah playing at the casino is better than online, its way more serious but way cool

gotta enter a comp one day, i think they have em like fri/sat every weekend

i'm actually not a big fan of playing cash games at the casino believe it or not.

It can become very expensive very quick and you could lose your 200 dollar buy in in one hand. Thats no fun

The tournament are different though...i think the Canberra casino down here have tournaments with a 110 dollar buy in fairly often...might have to go dump some money into a few of those

yeah it sucks when you go to a table with $50 and some player have 300 - 400 dollars, but the comps are like $145 buy in and its all even so thats good

Well, i got a big one. A big project I mean.

Im 75% done on the new paint job

New fans and lights to be fitted. (I bodgeied and fitted the switches myself, but I need a sparky to fit the new wall lights and funky fans)

Hardwood timber floor panels arrive on tuesday for the loungeroom, kitchen, hall, bedrooms.

Finished bathroom

Finished Laundry

Finished grow room garage

then I might do some outdoor decking.

DOes anyone have excperience hangning a 50" plasma on a plaster wall. I was gonna mount the bracket to the wall studs but, for the life of me, something seems not right about doing it this way.

The exterior is white colorbond, but its a little faded in some areas. Can this stuff be sprayed? Would love to give it a nice new coat of white.

You'll have to hang the plasma off a stud man. No way would I trust the plaster sheet to hold it.

As for spraying exterior colourbond sure. I'm not sure if/how your supposed to prep it but we just masked the house up and used an airless spray gun. whole house painted in less than a day.

Thats the shit.

then i used to be sponcered for skateboarding
BMX

PARKOR!

anything extreme sport wise i enjoy

also photography and graphic design

Tenpin bowling.
Kids.
I used to play saxophone in a number of bands when I was younger, but they all disbanded and cars kinda took over. 'd play again if I could find the time.

you nerd johno...

i got just one question for you. How the fuck you sposed to paint then tiny little fuckers properly?

i've seen some mad looking paint jobs

Used to play Texas 3 times a week down south, now living in the land of no poker and I am not paying 300 bucks to play it at the casino.

Is there anything other then cars??? honestly... Mind you, volksies seem to be my nemesis...

A current project of mine is building the house extensions I designed...so far the verandah steel work is up, footings for the balcony happening tomorrow, then I'll see if up for the challenge of building a 'twisted' roof for my carport.

Also into model cars, guitar...and a few other things including my new found affection for gardening.

That's something else....dreaming of owning one of these too...
