It's hard to put them in to order, so I'll just put them in randomly.

- Collecting model cars
- Playing Ice Hockey
- Playing with cars
- Guitar
- Photography

I'm sure I'm missing one, but yeah. Some expensive ones in there.
You only live once though.

Main hobby is cars. It's the only hobby that I not only get to indulge in every day of the week, but also doubles as a necessity. Can't beat it!

In my spare time though, I like to break things... mainly computers.



Photography is another one however I don't make time for it nearly enough as I should.

Planes and heli's and most RC lol

I have 3 planes at present, I hve an E-Flite pulse on order and have pre-ordered a hangar 9 twin otter. I have 1 heli, but will soon be more. My favourite plane has to be frank, frank is short for frankencessna. A severely overpowered, 900mm foam cessna, repaired and modded with so many non stock and bits and bobs, we named him the Frankencessna. Here is a video of how a cessna is not meant to fly lol

Mine ...love my HPI Vorza!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERQTK...eature=related

I've pretty much replaced all the stock RTR electrics with top-of-the-line gear ...it's ballistic, lol

I take it out on the road with me each day, and let it rip at any parks I've noticed at the end of the day ...a real stress-buster!!!

I love the vorza. I am looking for a new rc car. After I lost my job, sadly I parted with my slash which I spent heaps upgrading. I am trying to figure out what to buy now. I was thinking of going 1/8th, but I loved my 2WD slash so much I am almost thinking of getting another, except mine was running around with $300 in extra parts. RPM everything, titanium pins, bigger shocks, chassis saver, robinson racing pinion and jato 54 spur, alloy caster blocks, alloy steering crank, had the raptor wheels etc, brushless etc. So it is hard to get the same without spending a lot of money.

Here it is doing a hill climb lol, not the slowest car around, and I had to slow down to let the chase car catch up safely lol. Aso this was done just strapping a point and shoot on the front. Now I have HD wing cam I could use in future. Enjoy

Hobby for now, but I work with them so get to see how the pros do it.

I'm still firmly planted in script kiddie land, can't code to save myself which I need to do something about.

Its scary watching them just bypass a fully updated system with corporate level antivirus like it was a casual flick of the wrist.
