Other hobbys??

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I have too many :lol: I've always loved my r/cs but never really had that many, I have a few old tamiya's touring cars that I haven't touched for ages, one is pretty darn quick but I can't even remember what motor it has :lol: might have to pull it out and take it for a blast sometime soon, it used to get thrashed around skateparks and get airbourne on a regular basis :lol:

Also got my Losi MRC, haven't had this out for months either :thumbdown:

My other hobby? GUITARS! I buy them and restore them and sell them on...well most of them! I seem to keep about half I buy, I just love them. Got about 15 at the moment, 13 basses, 1 electric and 1 acoustic. Guess I'm addicted :lol:

Remember this on Top Gear a few years ago?

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/583262/am ... s_tunning/

The engine at 1:32 is one I sold to the BBC. I'd had it in two road going Lada Rivas. Very nippy :lol:

I also used to co drive in Lada Rivas years ago, hence my forum name. I now have fun in the dirt, just slower!!

i liked it too but i was disappointed when i saw it on person, not worth the money mate,
the GMADE R1 Crawler is better and cheaper.

Nice hobbies you guys have!!
