    I think I really ought to "come out" now.

    Forgive me fellow Crudites. But I am/are, by all accounts, not my own account, allegedly, ver batim, per se, et al...(etc)

    I'm a kitten killer. Well, that and the odd puppy. Anything warm and with a heart beat really. :twisted:

    Love n hugs

    Used to play that game as a kid. I still have all my toes. :)
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Another one for liking the RC cars - used to race a Tamiya TL01, still got a Mardave v10 which has a plate steel chasis. A friend has been promising to make a carbon fibre chasis for it and then she'll go like... I'm guessing a smurf's backside in an elevator...
  • Dammit, I had just managed to remove that story from my mind after almost a year of having nightmares about it! Thanks a lot!

    Year, started when i was 9 and raced up until i found pubs (offically) at 18, got quite serious too, semi sponsered at Pro 10, had deals with certain shops etc, still got friends from that era now, but dont know anyonw who still races. its all nitro rubbish now.

    Hermit off roaders was our club, then springfield off roaders, was involved with the world cup course in basildon, that was something else.

    Naww guy accross the road plays electirc cars and man have they come on. Brushless motors and so fricken thing is faster than his nitro stuff... sounds like a jet engine it revs so fast on the electric one those crazy!

    Another one for rc cars.

    I used to race nationally in 1/8th nitro offroad, both buggy and truggy and was on the committee at our local club, the central scotland off roaders.

    It all got a bit too expensive though as we were travelling the length and breadth of the country racing ever other week.

    I thought taking up mountain biking would be a nice cheap hobby for me. :oops:

    +1

    I raced at club and national level for several years but the fact I live in Cornwall and had anywhere between 4 and 12 hours driving every race weekend to get to events took it's toll in the end.

    I raced bangers/hot rods before that.
    I was pretty handy and that too but I could spend anything upto 30 hours prepping a car only to completely destroy in 15 minutes, which wears pretty thin, really quickly.

    That and the fact I'd spend most Monday and Tuesdays not being able to move my neck kinda chafes your ass after a while too....

    Ah, the Thread has been rekindled...

    Another love is retro computers, all those old Sinclair, BBC, XT, 286, 386, Apple SE/30 and programmable calculators fro, yesteryear...

    I like to post random crap on forums...which gives me no real benefit other than laughter and a warm feeling.

    I also wear two pairs of socks every day, 365 days of the year. Ok, that's not actually a hobby, but it's unusual possibly. Or does anyone else do it with me?
    Out with the old, in with the new here.

    Still obsessed with Amiga stuff, in fact my pc gets to run an Amiga emulator more often than anything else. Also have an Amiga with a whole, whopping, 2MB of RAM.
    I do some other stuff too.

    My hobbies are recording music (I maintain studios for my job, in my spare time I do bits of recording) and classical singing. I've sung in a choir for the last 20 years, now I'm the assistant organist there and sometimes conduct as i'm 'second in command'.

    Other than that, biking, driving, movies and bashin one out every now and then are what I waste my time doing (not necesarily in that order :lol: )
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
