We call it Passion!

That white face Daytona looks a little lonely among all those Panerai's. You should at least throw in a SS Sub so it doesn't feel so left out. Nice batch of watches. I'm jealous. Are you a dealer/broker/flipper or just obsessed (latter of which is completely understandable)

Outside of P-Cars, its family and work for me.

very nice stable!

Furniture making. Just finished a set of built in cabinets for my home theatre in my family room made from birdseye maple and walnut as well as a Ludwig Mie van der Rohe "parsons" style kitchen table made from baltic birch plywood veneered in "China Red" high pressure laminate. Current project(s) in the works are a a dining room set in the style of a LeCorbusier LC-6 table made with a Zebrano (Zebra wood) top and a Walnut base. Matching sideboard of the same woods. Already have Eames walnut chairs for it http://www.dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=11045. Also, making a mantle for my family room fireplace out of walnut. The style is best described as "Bibendum" (Michelin Man). Think stacks of "bullnosed" slabs. Basically all of the cabinets and "occasional" furniture in my home are of my own making. Other than that I am a audiophile/hometheatrephile (if there is such an animal) with a couple of different systems in my home (family room, Man room, outside and bedroom). All speakers are Dynaudio from the Contour range through the Confidence Range driven/sourced from McIntosh components. I have gone through many different iterations of audio gear through the past through years (Wilson, B&W, Krell, you name it) and I think I have finally settled on what suits my usage/tastes best. For leisure time I enjoy skiing (kids ride) in the wintertime and watching my kids be kids otherwise.

My other hobby is hockey. I can't say that I'm any good at it but it's good exercise and tends to be a little cheaper than the car hobby. :)

That's awesome! I had a sim instructor that flew radio controlled jets. They look and sound so real when they're flying.

Compared to everyone else I am pretty mono themed on my other hobbies. Everything metal, gas & oil and not much else. Has been great seeing all the diversity of everyone “second” hobby.

Besides the Pcar as a hobby I like building cars. Attached is the early stage mock up of a new track car I am doing. The body is a Ginetta G34 that is being used for packaging and a pattern for the aluminum body copy to be built following the chassis build. Motor is an ex IMSA GTP Lexus 4.0 with a Quaife sequential 6 speed. The rest of the components will be scratch built or pulled from the shelves of 20 plus years of collecting the crap. Vintage cycles when only 2 wheels will do. Bit of a 2 Stroke fan. The Yamaha is a 1984 (JDM) RZV500R. 500cc V4 2 Stroke with two of the pipes running under the seat. Short runs only if you are not wearing insulated underwear. Lots of smoke to keep the EPA happy at the same time as killing mosquito’s.
