Who has the most unusual but legal hobby?

[crankedup]

Kicking off then, I am interested in all things from the 1920's early 30's era. Art deco, life styles, clothing, Gangsters, prohibition and the 'Bright young things' and of course the music. I use a 1920's car to tow my vintage caravan (1929) to shows, exhibitions, re-enactments, promotions and such like. Slowly getting together the correct attire for the era. This is now my tenth year and my interest keeps growing, the TV series Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders has done much to draw attention back onto the era.
Thought about rock climbing but can't stand heights.

Interesting.

Couple of months back took our motorhome down to the Caravan club's site at Broadway in the Cotswolds, and there on display in a huge alarmed glass cabinet they had what is reputed to be the worlds oldest caravan.:-

Thanks for link, The Wanderer is the oldest caravan of that there is no doubt, remarkable high quality museum piece. The Eccles, my caravan make and model is the first proper car drawn touring caravan, started to be manufactured in 1919. Mine is one of the last original style dubbed 'cottage on wheels' built 1929. The following year Eccles developed the tourer with rudimentary aero-styling. Last show of the season I met the Wisbeach classic caravan club. Their show stand was set up as an avenue with vans covering all decades from 1950 -1980, each van detailed correctly to era. Sorry everybody else

Light entertainment prog' several months back featured much the same format, unusual hobbies. They televised a chap who has been collecting glass milk bottles for years. Bottles were absolutely everywhere, the collector proudly displayed the various differing features on some of his more rare bottles.
His hobby was well out of hand and he was persuaded to release some of his collection to caring owners.

How long before the 'Blue Plaque' spotting becomes a hobby, if it's not so already.

I restore and exhibit steam engines.

I enjoy the Country Shows with my old car / caravan combo, always some 'steam' to admire. Whats the story with the one you have posted in?
