Motorcycling - BMW R NineT, BMW S1000RR, and Honda Grom. Alison also rides as do my nephews and some of my friends. So it can be solo or with company. Firearms - Into firearms most of my life. I shoot long guns, but prefer handguns. Not a hunter. Steel and paper. Detailing - I do some wrenching on my cars, but where I prefer to spend my non-driving time is detailing. Rucking - I got into GoRuck several years ago. It's the only gear I carry and I still Ruck multiples times most weeks. Gym - typically in the gym 4-5 days per week. Cool thread and neat to see the different hobbies and interests.

Classical Piano

Quotes source post: 15855044

When I first saw your user name, I wondered. For me: �80s BMWs Racing classic sailboats And kind of by accident, audio gear (mostly from the '70s, �80s & �90s). I never considered myself being into vintage audio until I had some out of town friends stay with me. One of them commented, 'wow, I didn't know you were into vintage audio gear'. Until he said that I didn't realize I was. I should probably seek some professional help. German made Canton CT-80 speakers (1989) in the home theater room with JBL 2500 for the rear channels (1988). Subwoofer is a Polk Audio from the late '70s. Spica TC 50 wedges in the living room (1985). Dual CS5000 turntable made in Germany 1987. In the man cave, Schiit Audio DAC & Headphone amp for the Sennheisers. NAD C162 preamp and dual NAD C272 amps powering Klipsch KG 3.5 speakers (1992). In the workshop I have a Marantz 2235 (1975) and a Marantz PMD 502 cassette deck 1998?) feeding Klipsch KG 1.5s (1995)

^^... Sailed Mission Bay at once a month for many years. Last 10 years just Catalina. I listen to a pair of Bose 901 originally purchased in 77 and replace by the factory in 89. I guess I am a unknowing collector also.

Old hobbies: Boating Water skiing Drag racing Newer hobbies: road course dirt biking Present hobbies: Porsche events/Hooligan road trips with my pals With a triple heart surgery a few years ago, I slowed down on the extreme hobbies/sports, at 63yo I'm just glad to be here. Here is a pic of my last dirt bike I sold a few years ago. Me and my sons custom built it, a CR500AFC, it's a CR500 engine installed in an aluminum frame CR250 frame, nick named "The Beast".

Quotes source post: 15857219

Having an AF was a dream of mine for years! Nothing on earth like an open class MX motor. I got out of dirt bikes a few years back to spend more time with my son (not into riding), still miss it. I still have a couple of street (lightly dual sport) bikes, including a 1970 Triumph Trophy scrambler (so appreciate the vintage bike thing Vancouver996). Life these days is work, work, work, spending time with my son, and hanging with my dog.

Jet-Skiing, Jet-Skiing, Jet-Skiing...I own 5 of them scattered between my house in Minneapolis and vacation house on Fort Myers Beach FL. My ski for ocean duty has a 260 HP supercharged engine and it is an escape since there is nobody around and there are no speed limits. It is very physically challenging to stay on it in choppy water at 60+ MPH. I ended up buying my first Porsche ('07 Carrera S) three years ago because I felt the "need for speed" and it was too cold to be on the water.

I love road bike riding, but my home improvements have gotten in the way of that in the past few years, car repair is definitely one of my hobbies....but home improvement is my latest. I think I do it just so I can buy more tools. We bought a house a block from the ocean near Daytona last year (Wilbur by the Sea), and we are basically leaving a small part of it and rebuilding a new house around it as a "remodel"....I will be doing a lot of the work myself. So far I gutted the house (but now we are going to tear it down) and rebuilt the floor. This is our "remodel".....soon I will have a beach house! Here's the post: https://forums.quattroworld.com/arch/msgs/65453.phtml And I built a new deck on the back of my house last year in the Chicago area and finished the siding, did everything but the concrete myself. My son and I just did the timing belt, balance shaft belt, seals on the front of the engine and a bunch of other stuff to the 951 last weekend, he's coming back to Chicago this weekend from Ft. Wayne, IN where he lives to take the car home for a year. I told him that he could use the car for a year......this way he can't blame me for anything else any longer in life! HAH!

Jeeps And sailing

Another cyclist First tracks

Flyfishing first and foremost when I have the time then Road bike and MTB. Long distance rides (Seattle to Portland or Vancouver, BC-200 miles in 2 days)

That's a good looking fish your holding, Bet it was a blast reeling him in.

It seems like there are a lot of musicians here. I've been playing music for close to 50 years starting with trumpet when I was a kid (that gave me reading skillz - though they've atrophied quite a bit over the years).Through music came recording which I've done quite a bit of as well. I also built 3 studios over the years which have become more sophisticated with time - the current one being a 4 room affair with full isolation between rooms (it was quite a project and took me 2.5 years to complete). Day Job - Arborist/Landscape Manager Night job/Hobby - Musician (mostly Guitar/Vocals but also Bass guitar and Drums) Part time job/Hobby - Studio owner/Producer/Engineer Hobby - Porsche 911/996

RC planes, RC cars, slot cars (lots of 996s), model trains, wrenching on my cars when I want to, cycling (really gotten into rails to trails since knee injury ended triathlon dreams), camping / hiking, shooting, autoX, and the ocassional track day, grilling and smoking meat mostly (texas bbq), making chili, wine tasting and collecting, building legos with my kiddos (they build rc stuff and help with other things too), drums, guitar, been wanting to try some 3 gun too. And if I win the lotto, I�m taking up rally racing. My wife says its too much, but I�m never bored and I don�t have time for a girlfriend or other terrible habits.

Great stuff guys.... I paint...I have "copied" Jackson Pollock's style....it's a lot harder than it looks, the first 10 or so went into the fireplace, but I have "mastered" Pollock's look They are basically large very colorful paintings that I have sold to decorators who do the lobbies of condo buildings here in South Florida..

Prior to having my own accounting firm I played music a LOT, been doing so since 15, made a few albums, etc. Simply no time for it anymore. Still have some gear that I pick up and play every once in a while though. Otherwise I hit the gun range at least once/twice a month. Besides my wife, my babies are my SIG P228 and SCAR 17S... have others but aren't as fun. Looking at getting a 5.56 SBR later this year, assuming my 911 doesn't implode... I had a new SBR picked out until a call yesterday saying my repair bill was going to increase by a solid 4 figures due to some other things needed attention. Oh well.

Wait, NO I'm not Kelly Slater, but I am the guy pictured surfing and have won a couple of local surf contest in the 80's. Other past hobbies, chasing girls in bikinis , 10 yrs competitive Pro-Beach volleyball, spear fishing, moto cross, deep sea fishing, carpentry/home improvements, tinkering with cars...

That Pic of you kinda looked like him. I met him in NSB, FL tournament he was watching of a relative competing quite a few years ago and he was very nice guy to BS with, I wish I had known he like to play golf as it could have been part of the conversation instead of just being a fan of his board skills.

Quotes source post: 15888298

Anyway... very pleaced to meet you... ... and congrats for been able to surf those waves

Quotes source post: 15890723

Us bald white guys all look alike! Kelly is actually a really good golfer...

Other cars....and I breed ornamental dwarf shrimp 😂 photo706.jpg photo514.jpg

30 weekends per year at least are spent at the cottage, which requires lots of maintenance and even has a lawn. Then there are the boats at the cottage and atv’s. Fish mist weekend mornings and evenings. Pickerel walleye are my fish and dislike the bass guys lol. I do some hunting too....and 4x4 my Jeep too....

Bonefish are the most amazing to catch on a fly--pound for pound. I call them liquid lightning.

I don't have any pics of my one but it looks like the one below. But I might bring this to my next PCA AutoX and see if tech lets me in I have friends who race RC competitively, and I have a feeling that on the AutoX, they may be able to give our cars a real whooping. But then again having watched TopGear, we can always run them over :P

Quotes source post: 15891320

Do us a favor and share some more pic of the Pickup and Impala, both are very nice looking. Love the flames. The Shrimp are pretty cool also. I can't say that I even knew there was such a thing..

Oh yeah golf! I forgot to mention golf I�m not even sure you can consider it a �hobby� though... more like a �lifestyle�... The last few years my game has suffered tremendously as I only been able to get out once or twice a week...

Quotes source post: 15892093

DP same here, golfs is a lifestyle, I'm sure like surfing. Been playing since teenager, and 62 now. Bought new set of Titleist sticks last year and haven't got out enough due to back issues , etc.

The shrimp hobby is one I usually don't admit to photo939.jpg photo168.jpg photo53.jpg

Fantastic, As a kid my dad had a panel truck (w/o windows) of the same genre, but you have that over the top. Very very impressive. That's a lifestyle. How much of the work did you do? Not that its an issue, but I know from 1st hand experience how much work goes into cars like that and I must say, one car of that level of quality is usually a lifetime achievement for some people, and you have a stable full. Big question(s) is. does the P car sit outside? or which do you take to shows? .

Quotes source post: 15891320

Wow, those are awesome! At 43, the Detroit Steel thing is lost on me given their offerings when i was just getting into cars in the 80's were absolute crap -- but both of those are REALLY nicely done. Is the Impala a '63? Love everything about it.

...

I remember this, sorry, didn't put 2 and 2 together, That is so cool.

Quotes source posts: 15892706, 15892786

I started it at 14, was suppose to just get a motor and be driven, well **** changed, we decided to chop it, etc and got beyond our capabilities. Had a good amount of help, but did a lot of the buttoning up. Cars essentially been done since '99. I drive the **** out of it, been cross country, in hurricanes in NC, snow storms in WV. Wife uses it for costco, nursery runs, etc. Everything I own gets driven weekly. No fun letting them sit. Everything also has 3 car seats (I've got 19 car seats in the house for my 8/6/2 year old). I don't allow myself to own something i can't take all 3 kids in (although i'm gonna be building a '38 buick soon that'll be a tough one) Unfortunately the p-car does sit outside unfortunately. Got booted out when the impala came home last year, but it also gets driven the most. Car shows aren't my thing, i'll do the local meetups and such, but it's rare i'll ever enter it in a real show, and if i do it's usually cause i get better parking driving something in (will walk around, see what i need to, and bail). The '55 did shows and mag features when i first finished it. Good eye, it is a '63. Cars pretty much all original minus the air suspension/wheels/disc brakes/stereo/and some engraved bits. It's probably my favorite, but absolute slow as **** with a 283 and 2 speed PG

Quotes source post: 15893061

I love your Impala! I used to do that at Monterey Car Week until it backfired on me. I entered my car at the Legends of the Autobahn show for the shirt and parking. I checked out all the cars, mingled with some buddies and drank some beer. I was ready to bail by noon but when I went to leave, I had an award notice on the windshield. It seemed rude to not accept the trophy so I ended up sticking around until 2:30. I'm half kidding here, it's always great to have your blood sweat and tears recognized by the judges but I don't keep the trophy on the mantelpiece or anything.

HDDirtbag says " Good eye, it is a '63. (My ex. BiL also owned a 63, White over Red interior w 409 - 3 speed when I was approx. 12 y/o). Cars pretty much all original minus the air suspension/wheels/disc brakes/stereo/and some engraved bits. It's probably my favorite, but absolute slow as **** with a 283 and 2 speed PG It's 6 years younger than me, so I bet it's also tired of working Same here on driving my stuff, though I don't like to beat the Targa daily on our wonderful winter pocked Ohio roads. I've already replaced a Michelin Pilot on the MB this year and it's not my daily.

Haha, that's awesome! I actually turned away an award at a goodguys show once when my second kid was still an infant and was throwing a **** fit 😂

Also sailing , regatta and Offshore race

Quotes source post: 15899575

My sailing experience is with USN or my buddies Hobie Cat on fresh water state lake. I love doing it, and plan on buying a craft when I retire to FL coast .

Took the kids for their first jump!

We just lost 11 skydivers last week...I would never play with the lives of my children, If they want to jump out of a plane they can wait till they're adults!

Well they are adults You have to be over 18. That crash was aircraft/pilot. Crashed right after lift off. Could have been any small tourist aircraft which as you know fly constantly in your beautiful state. The fact that it had skydivers on it just made it seem like a skydiving accident. Statistics show you have a higher chance of getting hurt/dying in a car than parachuting. I have thousands of jumps with never an incident. There was an aircraft in California recently that had a wing clip ALL the jumpers got out safely. I think my diving is more dangerous than my jumping. AND of course, maybe surfing?

Quotes source post: 15941286

I watched a skydivers chute not open from that same airfield when I was a kid. But I do get it, my daughter wants me to take her one day...she's 24.

Work and my c4s are the only things that take me away from these guys.

Lately, trying to decide which stocks to sell to keep funding the repairs on my 996.

Quotes source post: 15968564

Although I have not personally had a failure I know several who did. There is a reserve chute that will automatically deploy at 1000 feet IF you did not pull or something happened where you pass out. I have seen several people have to cut away the main chute due to failure and have to pull reserve chute. PROPER training as with anything will prevent injury or death. I'm 60 and we have always had reserve chutes with ADD (automatic deployment device) They are just digital now. There has NEVER been an ADD failure so I do not know what you saw as a kid. Possible suicide. Rarely but we had one up here about 10 years ago... IF your ever in CONUS look for one of these indoor skydiving centers and try it! https://www.iflyworld.com/find-a-tunnel/
