I'm in the middle of a resto-mod right now.
I dropped in a 3.4 V6 out of a 94 Camaro.

What about you?

[buto]

I'm into playing paintball and computers. I'm an IT person by trade.

Love watching football and basketball too!

Cars, VWs especially. One problem though, as long as i keep buying lenses etc i wont be able to afford a VW :(

Travel is also up there (which also eats into the funds). Cruising in particular

What time's dinner?

I've noticed a trend in the last 15-20 years where the U.K. is developing a real cuisine. I'm very much in favor of that.

However, what are we going to do with all our English Cooking jokes? Any suggestions for recycling?

Another guitar player (and collector... especially PRS) who used to play professionally, and Little Britsh Car owner as well:

Here is my 1976 Triumph TR6:

Dont blame this shot on me... I didnt take it. :)

I am still looking for a good location to take shots of her...

[20droger]

Oh, yes. I putz around with this stuff.

[liza]

I have very little spare time for hobbies, but I do enjoy sewing, reading, high school sports, music, and my new passion, web design.

[Miyagi-san]

world of warcraft (is that a hobby? haha)

guitar

my son

.....definitely NOT in that order

[adam8080]

I think WOW would be considered more of a lifestyle to most who play it.

[Time Thief]

Soccer, Soccer, and ...hmmmm, Soccer. That about sums it up. You did say other than photography right. Well yea, thats soccer. I do take pics of that too so I kinda combine them, when I am not coaching, then the wife is taking over my baby and trying her hand at pics. Shes pretty good. I now have to give her a crash course in portrait photography as next weekend she has to do one of my jobs for me. I have been informed today that the fire dept I am trying to get a job at is having their physical agility test next weekend and I have already scheduled portraits at the local veterans center. I did pass the written exam today! Woo Hoo.

Man that sure is a nice looking Cooper you have there. I wanted one chambered for .22-250 Ackley improved but alas I don't have the $1500 bucks spare as all my extra is going to try and keep this business going. I wanted to go full custom, quite a bit more than the stock ones. Whats yours cambered for? Hopefully I can get the fire dept job and then all my photography money can go to other play toys. I would like to get a .50BMG one day. Ahhh, so many toys and so little money and time.

[rklepper]

I collect antique scientific equipment and coins. I also play guitar, banjo, and harmonica.

[rhys]

I have a photography business which I run. My hobbies - computing, shooting, photography, travelling.


This is my baby.

[Tapeman]

Woodworking, bicycling, upland hunting, and fishing.

[KirkM]

I have too many hobbies (http://homepage.mac.com/messnerk/PhotoAlbum2.html) now, and not enough time for them all!

[Miyagi-san]

lol yes that would be more accurate. my server was down for two days this week and I started to have withdrawals.....started another character on a different server and all was well with the world again :)

awesome game, i liked some parts of ffxi better but it was too slowwwww to start out in that game.

spending time with my son tops everything else though.....i did learn to play wow one handed though so he could sleep on my left arm (newborn) lol :D :D

Obnoxious, but I thought it was fun...

[greg20d]

Not that I get to much but after photo and family comes target shooting

[vetkrazy]

This hobby takes up more space than my camera gear:lol:

[SHULTSIE!!!]

Dude, vetkrazy, you're hobby is so much cooler than mine... kinda feeling hobby-envy right now...

[adam8080]

Nice collection! Do you drive them often?

[vetkrazy]

Nice collection! Do you drive them often?

The two newer ones are our daily drivers. The older ones are for car shows, parades and just cruzin. It really helps when your wife is a gear head also :lol::lol::lol:

[kkissofgold]

My pony has made it an art, to jump out of her field so that I have to go up and persuade her that yes, she does want to stay in he diet paddock t oget rid of her fat belly!!

Between photography, work, degree course and this madam, I ain't much time for anything else!!

[RikWriter]

I used to be a regular target shooter and hunter, but I haven't been hunting in several years. I am into martial arts...got my black belt in Tae Kwon Do a few months ago. I also like hiking and camping, which dovetails into my love for outdoor photography. I also work out a lot, but I wouldn't call it a hobby...more a desperate effort to stave off impending middle age. :D

[Speeed]

my Kids, 2 boys 3 & 6 ......not that I consider them a hobby but they are by far the most fun of anything I do.

Motocross...(nowhere near as much as I used to)

riding my Harley (Softail Deuce)

reading (legal thrillers,conspiracy,mystery and educational)

internet message boards (what a wealth of info & great people)

exploring abandoned & forgotten places (the majority of my free time is spent walking around abandoned places with a camera,lens & tripod)

music (listening not playing....I like downtempo, ambient, funk, smooth jazz, electronica, blues,classic rock & alternative and more. I have lots and lots of music and I love it all)

my friends (I am fortunate enough to surrounded be some pretty good people)

I used to be big into drag racing. not so much anymore but I do miss it a lot and will get back into it when my kids get a bit older and we can do it as a family.

I have way too many hobbies, now if I could just get my income to catch up.......hahahaha

[Miyagi-san]

I'm getting back into guitar.....ordering this in black tomorrow!

My other hobby is building killer robots :) Like the older shows Battlebots and Robot Wars.

120lber with a 30lb 4 foot long blade spun at 2,000 rpm

Lately I've been merging my hobbies and getting action shots of fights.

A few photos (http://www.robotic-hobbies.com/bensonpv/robogames%202007/rg07.jpg)

Then of course I build and compete with them:

Weapon Test 30lb Robot (http://www.robotic-hobbies.com/BillyBobTest.wmv)
This robot's blade spins upwards at 9k rpm

My 120lber destroying another robot :) (http://www.robotic-hobbies.com/videos/Mjrpunishmentvspapercut.wmv)

It is fun stuff!

[Miyagi-san]

lol, papercut....

nice bots, i always wanted to get into that but just don't have the time to start a new thing. looks like a lot of fun though

[ironbelle]

My Jeep took up alot of spare cash until I went digital. I'm looking to incorporate the two one day when I can afford carnage that comes with offroading.

[20droger]

You have a digital jeep?!!

[ironbelle]

duh, no. I purchased digital SLR equipment. Now my money goes towards camera equipment.

Nice little TJ.

I'm working on a similar combination of off-road and photography. Only I'm paying for my toys now to use them more in retirement (shortly).

I'm running a '05 Rubicon Unlimited.

Not a real fan of the new design :confused:

[rdricks]

Never make me choose between photography and fly-fishing. The fishing will win every time! Photography is what I do when I'm not on/in the water.:D

Sweet, bottom left! :D:D

[audit]

Computers since I'm in IT, Camping, Outdoors, and before my back injury that's forcing major surgery soon, I was bowling part time in the PBA. Now that I had to give up bowling, I'm trying to take up Photography since it's always been something I've been very interested in and have been told that I have a great eye for.

[Win]

I use photography to chronicle where I've been. We hike and explore just about every weekend. I have a Jeep that takes us just about anywhere I'd want to be:

Outside Mesquite, NV at the Tramp Mine:

[ironbelle]

I'm not a fan of the JK's (new Jeeps) either. They get hung up alot and they don't look like Jeeps.

[gsewell]

Cant believe one hobbie has not been mentioned yet?!?!?!

Mine is marine fishkeeping and Im sure IM not alone,,, very expensive hobby!
But worth it ;)

[jnev]

other than photography I'm very into mountain biking (don't have a pic of my bike though). besides that, I tinker with computers (build them, run linux, etc) and listen to a lot of music.

[kaypony]

Running, Biking, Used to compete in Dressage, Tramping, Reading.
