What is your other hobby other than your 993

Here is mine!
Like our cars, nothing ever has sounded as good as vinyl. Unfortunately, you have to buy a $800.00 nitty gritty vacuum to keep them quite and then have a glass of merlot and then, the magic begins with memories of what was considered the best experiences in your life.

Also do as much sailing as time permits, which is not much these days.
Will race (helm, crew, tactician, whatever) on anything as long as the team wants to be competitive. J-22 is my usual fleet where I usually can be found floundering around on foredeck.

Work (pictures of my "office" below), my two Jack Russell Terriers (Dino and Daisy), the house (below behind the office), and pretty much anything outdoors (camping/fishing/quading/boating).

****! Awesome setup, can't afford what you have. But I am in the same alley, 100% vinyl and 100% analog. Digital is trash!
B&W 801 Matrix 2, ITerminator wires, Bottlehead Singel Ended mono block tube, and Mcintosh MC250 (not in pic), Counterpoint SA 5.1 pre amp, Magnum Dynalab FT101 FM tuner, Simply physics Darkstar turntable with Eminent technology air bearing tone arm. And lots of vinyl records, complete Beatles (two white album, original Euro white album, Rolling stones, classical, opera, early american musical, all 70s disco stuff, lots of jazz and of course Joni Mitchell.

Recently retired at a very young age so I'm really still looking for things to fill the time.
Recently started blogging, but I blog about Porsche, so not sure it counts as another hobby
Also, decided to help a friend try to run for U.S. Senate in 2012. That should be interesting. More on that here http://www.thecandidacy.com

Swim, Bike, Run.....and fish (maybe)
Perfect timing for a thread like this....I just spent two hours at the bike shop today getting sized up for my new Cervelo! 
When I was training for the NYC Marathon I had to spend a weekend in Portland, OR on business.
So on Sunday I ran UP Mount Hood.
Made it to the top. That sucked...I'll never do that again.
I don't have any patience to fish or golf.....
But if somebody else pays for the charter and they are biting I'll go.

Buy a Ferrari, or several of them. You will come out of retirement very quickly, Ferrari will give you another goal in life.

Man, I cannot believe how similar some of us are...
I have way too many hobbies.
Among the hobbies is Audio,
I work in the Audio Industry and own a home audio company. www.pnfaudio.com (25% off and free shipping for any Rennlist members who need cables). My company has been reviewed and won an Editor's Choice for 2007 from The Absolute Sound Magazine.
I have three Audio Systems in my home:
Room 1
Ayre
Electrocompaniet
Vienna Acoustics
Room 2
Dynaudio
Sonic Frontiers (TUBE)
Room 3
EAD
Focal
Rel
I also collect and restore Bicycles.
And Lastly, I have a Watch Problem (Anonimo, Panerai, Omega, Dubey)
But first love is P-Cars. I have a 1962 356 and a 1995 993
