Title: What Are Your Other Hobbies?
Post by: Stephan Schmidt on November 30, 2004, 12:16:38 PM: Aside from the VW/car hobby, what other fun hobbies do you guys and girls have? I find being involved complete in one hobby gets boring, but that could be just me.

I enjoy wakeboarding, dirt biking, snowboarding, motorcycling, camping/fishing/hiking, mountain biking, and of course cars (VW's, Subaru's, Fords, etc...).

Post by: Billyisgr8 on November 30, 2004, 12:34:22 PM: So are you married with kids?.... Thats alot of hobbies to do.

I hardly have time for vw's, house stuff and kids takes up most of my time. But my hobbies are building stuff in metal. I met this old retired machinest since we moved up here who builds working scale locamotives. Every single part right down to every nut and bolt. Even castings, He has sparked my intrests up again for this other passion I have. My mind is allways swimming with machines and things to build. My new shop just for metalwork and vw's will be 26 x 40, I can hardly wait. I need to get my metal machines out of my wood shop so I can actually use them and not worry about dust.

that sounds awesome. I'd like to get out the welder at work more often, but I never have the chance. I'd like to get into metal fabrication for fun.

Post by: Dave57oval on November 30, 2004, 01:45:49 PM: I race Remote control car all over north america. I'm usually gone 2 weekends a month. Most of out trophy races are 3 days, so It does take time away from the VW. My wife goes with me to most of my races. I race she gets to go shopping. It's a trade off.

Post by: kirin on December 01, 2004, 12:09:04 AM: Oh yes the hobby thread.
I used to be into RC cars(Built a 4wd electric rally car with lsd's on both ends). I still have it back home but its up on the shelf in the garage since I graduated to full size cars. I'm into camping and snowboarding. Also the boating thing(12 foot zodiac) and kneeboarding.
The last ones are the latest. Cars though are my big daily thing. Also I'm thinking of picking up the good old guitar sometime soon..
