Watches - Nothing too expensive, but always unique, especially retro LED/electronic.
Black clothes - Again, uniqueness trumps the name on the label.
Oh...and tools...for some reason I can not stop buying tools. Mostly automotive hand tools and diag/test equipment, but I guess thats the case for pretty much all car nuts.

Other than loads of receipts and invoices for my 928's, I am addicted to collecting 928 collectables, I have hundreds of diecast, models, magazines, posters, cards and the ridiculous list goes on....
This barely touches the surface of what I have

I'm into photography and call me crazy but I'm going back to film...
Here is my latest : Gaoersi 6X17 panoramic, takes 120 film. the lens(not shown) is a NIKON 90mm 1:4.5.
Have not taken any pics yet but I bet it will make FANTABULESS 928 2'X6' and up prints.
Here it is next to a 35mm..

I actually take my 928 out on a race track and drive it on a regular basis. That really makes for an odd hobby 
Also "rescue" Italian Greyhounds (the miniature dogs) which is odd since they are never raced and rather expensive, might make you wonder why they need to be rescued ! Guns and shooting is another interest but been quiet with that for a while, the only guns I want are illegal in California

I have a few "collectables" that I've been wondering what to do with for years now. Sooo, a display cabinet eh? Wow! What a great idea. Doh!
Thanks for inadvertantly cluing me in. -Ed

Back in the 80's I used to collect 8 1/2" floppy discs with pirated software. One day I sold my computer (8088), Monochrome monitor & collection of floopy's to a buddy of mine. Haven't found a passion worth collecting. ADHD might have something to do with it.

Well, it was good prep for 928 ownership ...
Is that how you spent your Bush "economic stimulus" cheque?
ON TOPIC: used to race in circles, but now I have no time/$ as we are prepping house for sale....finally finishing the house the way we always wanted it, just to sell......

PS, speaking of racing in circles, last Sunday my old 928 set the fastest lap of ALL the cars, including dedicated, fully caged, totally stripped, left-turning-only suspensioned race cars....
