I want to take up a new Hobby, wondered what you car nuts did in your spare time, car related or not.

I'm a Gym Rat and like Kick Boxing

My dream would be to complete my pilot training and gain my PPL, but thats too expensive at the minute :)

You?

My hobby is doing all of the things my wife asks me to do.

It takes up every spare moment.

Taekwon Do, hoping to do my Black Belt at the end of the year.

Apart from that, does playing GT4 on the PS2 count?

I'm a sad old case really - I maintain a database of car specs. I also love music and playing 8-ball pool. Movies, TV & novels are not really my bag. Oh, I also am a computer geek type person...

Playing rugby & cricket - is that a hobby? I don't think that skiing and snowboarding count; you can't really count something you do twice a year as a hobby.

Interior design (I kid you not - I love it, and my flat is almost like a project)

Cooking - absolutely love it, and am quite nerdy about getting the right ingredients etc.

Chasing girls and getting into trouble (relatively recent hobby)

I go through a hobby a month it seems. My current one is cooking, which my GF seems quite happy about!

I had a hobby 'bender' last year... tried all sorts of stuff

Rally Driving, Rock Climbing, Wrestling, Running, Singing, Cooking.

Realised my talent runs out at anything beyond being aggressive or twirling a steering wheel

If you add "work with children" to that, what about going in for Miss World?

I like messing about with my remote control car. Laugh you may, but it has a petrol engine

And for when its raining, my PS2 and Gamepod, or my electric guitar.

I suppose it's better than work on houses and play with children



And I haven't really got the figure for miss world

I work as an IT guy, anything "real" is a welcome relief

There was a DIY thread here a couple of years back
