I am sooo glad I never got into this. I've seen people spend so much on this hobby and I've heard of a guy being murdered in the USA for his collection!

[Frenchie]

[shida]

- Dancing - I did all forms of classical for 13 years growing up (ballet, tap, folk, contemporary), started hip hop 3 years ago and currently trying salsa and exotic. All lots of fun!
- Reading up on Volkswagen Beetles, love them!! I also collect models!

[dopey]

I'm extremely lazy these days due to working such ridiculous rotating shift hours. When I'm not working or catching up on things around the house I'm either surfing (the interwebs :P) or working on one of the cars. I do quite a lot of DIY on my vehicles, my grandpa and his mechanic mate teach me a lot. Failing that, I'll ask my mates, and if they don't know then getting someone to do it is a last resort. It's time consuming and can be a real shit at times but I find it rewarding. I like to go fishing as well. Apart from that most of my time is consumed going out, usually catching up with friends and family.

[nath_mk6]

Hmm I'm married with a 2 y.o son, so I dont have time for hobbies.

But if I did:

VW Golfing
Football (Soccer) Go Chelsea...
Computer stuff
Getting into Photography
Does Uni count (sigh)
And one that I should have is fitness stuff but need to find time for that again... so fat....

[JoeStivo]

Kickboxing (On hiatus because my wrist is fractured and chipped).
Fighting in general...but mostly MMA!!!!
Weightlifting.
Playing guitar.
Gaming.
Cars...obviously.
Hanging out with mates (consumes most of my time).
Watching films (I'm a film fanatic).
Drinking...does this count? LOL

I used to play basketball but haven't lately because i moved away from most of my mates and its hard to find a team who want to play around here.

[Frenchie]

Nath - that will be me very soon, I will be joining the ''Father'' ranks - look forward to it !!

Mental note - must not pick fights with Joestivo :) very active by the looks ! great to see.

[nath_mk6]

yeah nothing really compares to it, but sometimes you do wish there was an off or at least mute switch.... lol

[Frenchie]

haha I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way !

[Pharkus]

No kid yet but soon!
Walking/playing with my puppy
Watching movies

[Howie]

I just LOVE my kitties :) I have 3 right now, a ginger domestic, choc pointed Balinese and my favourite, mink point Devon Rex!
I've taken up horse riding as of late... Oh the power of ONE horsepower, driving all FOUR legs!
Bit of a gadget guy, especially with Apple stuff. PC FTL! :P I'm so converted now.
Photography... but who's not? Every man and his dog has a DSLR now. I tend to collect old cameras, I have canon's very first EOS 650 film back, a SX-70 SLR Polaroid too.
I do lots of bird watching too... Not of the avian kind though ;)
Buying new cars... swore never to buy 2nd hand after the first one.
I'm not into sports, don't know why.
Also enjoy fixing broken electronics, especially apple stuff :(
Did some flying aircraft, but was too expensive to continue.

Yeah very happy with it. Decided to get one when it was announced because I never really wanted to go full frame due to my lens range. (10-22 which i'd have to give up as its EFS and 105mm on my 24-105 being my longest). Great fps, faster focus but most importantly better ISO and I was sold! Video is just a bonus
