Oh, yes, my primary hobby since April (when I bought my C4)...

Reading the Rennlist 964 Forum relentlessly.

Maybe it's an British thing, but I hate the word hobby!! However, I have various passions in my life, other than my RS.

The first is my family - my wife of 11 years and our 2 beautiful daughters aged 8 and 4.

Then there are the sports I participate in. The real love of my life is sailing and I have raced small dinghies at international level for over 30 years. Having not competed at top level for a few years, I am just about to embark on a new campaign aiming at a world championship this summer. This will mean sailing at least 3 times a week from now until then.

Almost as strong a passion is skiing. Most people consider the skiing I do to be totally mad, but I know better because I have skied with the truly insane and I do have limits! However, having now moved to Australia, I think my days of serious skiing are now over.

Finally, I am a keen golfer, playing off a 12 handicap.

I also love watching all good quality sport although that is being put to the same test as Colin, as I am another Leeds United fan (if you don't know, don't ask )

Let's see...
-Collecting toy Porsches. Used to be other makes too, but it evolved only to Porsche. 3000 and counting so far.
-Running. Although, I don't call it a hobby as much as a necessity to keep the doctor off my back. The 5K, 10K, etc. races are fun and much cheaper to do than club racing.
-I bought some Lionel trains this year and have had a blast running them. Got a temporary layout in the basement, but once the racing season starts, it'll come down.
-Whatever my kids are into at the moment. Now it's the Wii and playing army in the backyard with airsoft rifles.

Alright, I'll play...

I used to be pretty active in the NYHC scene in the 90's had a band, did a lot of shows in the Tri-State area. We broke up in 2000, but were asked to do this one-time reunion show last fall when they were closing CBGB's.

Other than that, I like playing on my own...





Oh yeah, the Turbo shirt is from when I used to own my 951

Man, CBGB is holy ground to us longtime Ramones fans. In fact, I need to dig up an old photo of me and Dee Dee Ramone from 1981 and post it. Except I'd be a little embarrassed for anyone to see what I looked like in those days. Of course, I could say the same for the way I look now...

I just love backgammon. When you play with the doubling cube it becomes quite intense!
I do salsa about 3 times a week also, to keep fit only, not to meet girls!!

Nothing wrong with doing the salsa and meet girls to keep you twice as fit.
