Just been browsing the "Bike Banter" and see from alot of the profiles that Tiv drivers are also fans of two wheels.

So what other pastimes do us S Drivers enjoy? Surely you cant spend all your time hooning around in the S?

Naturaly i ride bikes, i also dive and have been known to do a spot of rock climbing.

Whats the most bizzare hobbie out there? No XXX rated please

I'm in the middle of building a 1958 stretched & widened Vespa.
Don't know if it will go round corners yet but that's just nitpicking! It's also the reason the S is up for sale as of next week if anybody is interested.I'll advertise it next week.(Working in gay Paris)

Apart from spending almost every weekend ferrying my old year old here and there so he can play football, I occasionally manage to get my Yamaha XJR1200 out of the garage.... 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and almost sounds as good as the S3 due to the race cans that I've put on it.......

when I`m not polishing the tiv or buying petrol, I enjoy a stimulating evening down in the woods moss stroking, and reading poetry.

I`ll have you peasants know that theres nothing wrong with sitting in a nice secluded picturesque spot, enjoying the tranquillity of the evening, reaching out and stroking the soft green moss at the base of a tree stump!!

After all the moss caressing and poetry reading do you leap out upon unsuspecting walkers and wave your willy at 'em...

Just thought I'd ask....

only joking, seriously though, there`s nothing better than slipping into my leather lederhosen, putting on my favourite oomp pa band tunes and slapping my arse a bit.

I have a 25ft sportscruiser that is 10 times thirstier than my S & the rip off fuel retailer charges £1.45 a litre for regular unleaded. I reckon at best i get 3mpg from the 5.7 V8.

I also dabble with radio controlled fuelled cars - monster trucks the best one.

Any free fuel vouchers gratefully received

Am I the only one here who has a job, wife & Child?
I would love to spend all weekend driving the S to the golf club (I dont play it just sounds good). Then I thought I might strip it down to the chasis and do a complete overhaul. Sadly I work from 07.00 - 18.00 then go home eat, play with child, make small talk with wife & go to bed.
One day I will own that ocean goin cruiser. Sigh.
