I like watches too. Buying and trading on the net I have managed
to work my way up to owning six older Omegas, watches I have lusted
after for years but could never afford.
After much "on-line" research I have also bought several replica
watches made in China and have been amazed at the quality.

When not spending money on cars I have an HO gauge Model Railroad and my modified.
When chilling out I play music either guitar or piano.
Built the model railroad for the guys so they have something to do I am the youngest member at 62. It is 1,700 sq ft and I could have bought a NEW RS3 for what I have in it so far. Other member is building one that is 2,300 sq ft.
Lately it has been 100% 928 to get them done so I can get ready for the race season.
The town of Ashley and our other toys.

Snowmobiling when I have time for trips, target shooting or sporting clays when not on the boat, piano on rainy days, and 5 days a week I'm up before the sun meets the horizon coaching crew - men's varsity 4's & 8's [ some of you may refer to it as rowing] at a local university...in my spare time, , I like to travel all over New England to competitively row my single in numerous regattas.

We foster dogs, big dogs that are at kill shelters.
Most of them have some kind of problem, aggression issues, that sort of thing.
That takes most of my time these days.
I like to cook, fillet, shrimp, bacon, corn, it does not get much better than this IMHO.
I do Pizza from scratch, make everything but the cheese, which I plan to start doing next year.
Here is a Pizza off the grill.
This is Molly, helping in the kitchen, the tiles in the kitchen are 18 inches long for scale.
(yes, she GTFO of the kitchen as soon as she knew I was there)
We cook a lot on the BGE during the summer, I honestly like the cooking more than the eating.
Here is a fresh ham for southern style chopped BBQ, these cook for 24-30 hours and it is really good.
after being chopped up
Here is a boston butt, not a fan of the Boston Butts, to greasy.
Some ribs, I can not cook ribs for some reason, it is not for a lack of trying though.
My BGE and the Weber Performer on the front porch.
I still shoot a bit, but I no longer compete, still fly a bit, in fact I went out and looked at a airplane for Uncle Mitch this weekend, so I may have to get my A&P current again for him.
I also take pictures for a couple of gun magazines, not very good at it, but it works.
A few guns
My carry gun
Misc pics
Tractor I restored for Helen
I used to follow the NHRA circuit, but I made a vow to never set foot on a NHRA track again as long as the fuel cars run 1,000 feet, here is one of my favs though.
You can see that it is all ready eating up the head gasket on the right bank at the hit of the throttle.
nuff for now.

Too many hobbies. Wood working and misc house repair furniture restoration projects. Wish I got to shoot more clay targets as it's one of my favorite things, but very little time to drive to the nearest range an hour away. Ive recently taken to inshore salt water fishing on the gulf coast with a neighbor. He fishes tournements, I just enjoy being on the water. Truthfully, I like trying anything new, and love to get really good at that then I often move on. I have hobby ADD.

Race Car
I am a Z-Scaler 1:220. Märklin, MTL, FR and such.
Also very into photography. Might be the side effects of working at Nikon for the last 12 1/2 years... (anyone want to trade a 1986.5 or later 928 for some gear )
Play a little guitar and my favorite hobby of all? Playing with my 4 1/2 year old son!

I am a professional disc golfer that competes in about 20 events a year while running and directing a separate golf tour. I also operate a small digital home studio and have released 3 solo albums in the past. I love wrenching on my 2 Volvo 740s and driving my 928...maybe 2010 will be the year I take her out on an Autocross run.

Interesting stuff.
Other than work and family which is 90% of my time, I spend a fair amount of time Co-chairing Social for my local PCA region along with co-chairing the concours program this year, Autocross and DE events.
I also am into N scale trains (sorry no pictures). BTW mine isn't to shabby a layout but there is some really nice work posted there.) I restore vintage cars mostly Porsche's pic of the 914 i took from scrap to award winning car. I also make my own furniture, (Glass and metal Dinning room table the picture is the beginning of the base the black frame has a 3/8" black mirror top the same size as the frame with 4-4" holes in the corners of the glass, the holes have 4 3" high by 4" round metal discs set into the holes and then a much larger 5/8" glass top. You have to see the finished product, Also mahogany and metal cocktail tables along with lamps and railings, outside artwork etc.) I am building a 9 foot by 4.5 foot wine cellar for around 800 bottles, Collect scale model cars I have about 45 matchbox sized 928's and another 40 or so assorted 1/18 and 1/43 scale Porsche's. along with some models I have built, I have also designed and build my own scale model aluminum 993. I am attaching a picture of the prototype. The final was given away at last years Zone 1 to the judges for their help.
In my down time I like to listen to vinyl Lps' since i picked up my table back in October I try to listen as often as possible. When I get lazy i watch movies. State of the art Panasonic Premier plasma TV with Arcam AVR 600 surround processor is damn close to being at the theater although next, year I might upgrade to a 135" projector if I can get a deal. I also ski and golf if I can find the time. Or pinball and arcade games. i have almost 300 games on a chicago gaming machine along with a megatouch ion 2007 which is always a blast with company.
it keeps me busy enough.

Hmmm, let's see.
My hobby turned in to a career so I can't count that anymore.
RC trucks when I can get it to run.
Computer gaming....when the computer runs.
Got married so browsing **** is over with.
I guess the only hobbies I have now are hanging out with you guys online and this picture. Which I keep making a list of things I want to add.

That looks like a Ruger Ranch Rifle, Sean. I've got an identical model(s) - right down to the same brand of scope.
I have a .22 and a .223.

Three Wheelin'
Given the time constraints imposed by work/travel and having a 2 year old daughter--hobbies are more of a theoretical issue nowadays. I still do home improvement and some wrenching on the 928 as therapy.
Back when I used to have time:
Sailing (my sailboat has not been in the water for 3 years), fishing, collecting model cars (everything from Matchbox/Hot Wheels to higher dollar 1:18 scale stuff), collecting architecture books (especially modern/mid century modern stuff).
