I was just wondering if I am the only one with about 4 different hobbies that I normally keep up with? Kind of would like to know if anyone else has any other hobbies that occupies there time? This might have been done here before, but I probably missed it.. Include pics if you can...

I guess I can start;

Modding cars is major on my list (typically Hondas)
Fishing (mainly saltwater when I get the chance)
Playing any type of war games on my 360
And of course my saltwater tanks!
 
I used to mod cars when I had my 2 Eagle Talons (hence my username), its been quite some time. I really would like to get another and make it an auto-x car.

Play Battlefield 2 online (PC game).

Play Halo and Gears of War on the 360 with my son.

Thats about it.

And of course my buddy on his 1st b-day! He is more than my hobby!
 
My number one hobby is Music, I play Viola for the Greece Orchestra as well as I can hammer out the piano fairly well for an amature.
The Aquarium would be my second in line hobby.
I also putt's around with RC airplanes.
 
Wait, you guys can afford reefing and modding cars? how much did your souls cos ;) ;)

Seriously though, about the only other "hobby" I guess I have is building/modding computers. I'm an overclocking and watercooling addict :). Play the occasional video game (especially guitar hero and/or rock band) with friends, but between a job, small business, girlfriend, friends, tanks, computers and generally running of life stuff, I barely have time for sleep, let alone other hobbies...
 
Interesting.

When I was 17 years old, my dad bought me an AWD Eagle Talon off the showroom floor. I was modding turbo cars about 10 years before the movie Fast and Furious ever came out. As a matter of fact, there were no stores, online stores, or anything yet. I actually had to order directly from HKS in Japan as well as getting other prototype parts from Greddy and the like. You probably know about David Buschur, http://www.buschurracing.com/. I've know him from way back in the day. We got our start at the same time and were in DiamondMotorSports club together. It was awesome to be able to toast porsches, vettes, NSX's, TT Z's and the like. I'd say my car had 350-370 HP based on the very low 12's and high 11's I was able to get. Those were fun days. I kept the car and kept modding it until about 2004, when I sold it to some kid, who blew it up within a couple of weeks.

On another note, I've been working as a software contractor for EA's Battlefield Franchise for about 4 years now. I started back before BFV was released and developed their server administration software for BFV, BF2, BF2142. I've been lucky enough to be able to go to the DICE studios in Stockholm and checkout BF2 being designed, and of course was lucky enough to be playing it months before it was in stores. BF is my favorite FPS game ever. I love all versions of it.

My main hobby is Tennis though. I'm addicted. I grew up playing competitively in California but burnt out at age 16. I'm just playing again now and really enjoying it.

Lets see... music and reefing basically. I play flute and bassoon in competitions, I'm auditioning for the RPYO next week on flute, hopefully I can get in!! In the summer I ride my bike around a lot, last summer I did a 50 miler up in the adirondacks. I also like tennis but no one's ever bothered to teach me how to play (nor have I tried to learn lol)
 
SkiFletch,

I have some water cooling parts laying around with all kinds of other fans and accessories.

I'll sell all that stuff to you really cheap or trade it for some frags.

I have water blocks, a pump, a radiator, tons of fans, controllers, accessories.

Let me know if you are interested.

I used to play a lot of paintball at GRC in Belfast, but haven't done that in years. I guess nowadays my hobbies include college, drinking, partying, and....

I had a '79 Datsun 280Z
I was a semi pro musician (jazz and rock)

Talons have been mentioned a few times on here. I still have mine and will never get rid of it. Its a 97 tsi awd. I just finished putting a new motor in, still working on the minor stuff. Its got all the bolt ons 50 trim turbo, 880cc injectors, dsmlink, and now 1g big rods and weisco 9:1 pistons and comp 272 cams.
My other hobbies are trap shooting, and any other kind of shooting too I guess.
