I love my turtles and it technically is a hobbie and interest.

I love tattoos i think its a great expression of who you are and i really want more lol!

And of course hondas! The concept of how an engine works and how to create more power and more power is awesome id love to be more clued up on tuning but i think i need to finish my apprenticship first if i can get another garage to take me on!

I smoke my own meat!

lulz...

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 3:19 pm #91128 I've been playing guitar for the last 12 years got a new Vox tube amp for xmas and I just love it.

Made a deal with my dad (it was a bribe really) on my GCSEs so I could afford to buy a Gibson Les Paul. I absolutely love it and can't imagine anything else playing anywhere near as well as it does.

Other than that... not much really lol Just cars, racing and tuning. Mostly chassis / suspension stuff, I've done a load of research into it as I used to sim-race a lot and occassionally played 'engineer' role setting up the car for people

You didn't happen to dabble in a little bit of sim modification as well did you?

I use to race RC a lot and also use to do a lot of online sim racing but haven't touch my wheel in over a year. Uni has fairly taken the time for hobbies away, have barely been able to keep on top of my car let alone do any other things.

But when I do have the time usually up my mates garage helping him with his cars thats about it.

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:23 pm #91144 I've been dabbling in photography myself. just started in the past year, but have already spent like $1500 on camera equipment

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:29 pm #91145 Well i have quite a few hobbies and loves other than my civic though that is a major part.....

I love collecting things from the past like old car emblems, hood ornaments stuff like that

I like to build model cars though havent touched one in a couple years want to but havent found the time

I love my turtles as well and also love my other animals 3 cats and a new puppy so yea i love animals n stuff....

A major one is i love to draw give me a blank peice of paper n ill just think for a moment then go at it like a girl with a bad hair day....I want to start doing sorta motifs of the cars here on civic-eg but im still practicing since my style is more of a sketcher than precise even though i try to do stuff like that.

I also have started atv'n and let me tell you its fun as hell exspecially chasing after deer even though i know my 200cc motor wont catchem lol also fun blazing trails

electronics are somewhat fun for me i love to wire but have not dabbled with circuit boards yet.

And mainly i like to create stuff out of nothing (in tenth grade i built myself a drafting table with adjustable angles and stuff like that and let me tell you it looks sweet still....)

but yea i also like to play video games though i dont let it totally control my life though sometimes it dose lol...

but enough about my crazy life

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:29 pm #91146 I ride bmx. Been doing it since I was like 7. I also like to play video games in my free time.

Other than that I've been working on cars since I could walk. Growing up I was part of a pit crew for a 87 mustang. Last I heard the car is running low 8's high 7's in the 1320.

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:34 pm #91155 Smoke. lol n games

Yes I wrote a rather lengthy guide for track making in Grand Prix 4 and released a couple of fantasy tracks. Those were shite though lol my 3D skills have come on a bit since then. I also made the 2006 STR with a french guy who went by the alias 'gezere'

I then moved onto rFactor and started some projects but never really got anywhere as I lost interest...

Kinda forgot to mention the whole 3D thing, haven't made much for a while but here's an example of somet I made a while ago.



I designed the car myself, and I intended to go nuts with quality and build a proper engine and stuff but that never really happened and you see the black and red sort of lump in the engine bay instead lol

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:51 pm #91168 hondas are mainly my hobby but I love riding horses as well..I haven't gotten to do that in a long time..hopefully soon

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:04 pm #91173 @ zep, yeh I thought I recognised your name when you signed up here did you not start an Alfa concept thing as well for rf. I did start to make an EG for rf not long after it came out but never really had the time and my 3D skills are not the best, especially compared to yours, that be a very nice render you got there. I've always hope to find the time to finish the EG project maybe after uni. Although I had noticed that someone is trying to put one in these days but tbh it don't look to great.

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:24 pm #91181 Yeah that was me with the alfa concept went through a ton of redesigns before I found something I like but the mesh was crap lol Also left MMG as well cos I'd had enough of their bullshit hehe never really got into it again after that...

I noticed someone had started an EG mod but I never really followed it as I was getting a bit fed up lol

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:25 pm #91183 Recently I've gotten into buying junk turbos and selling them after a good rebuild.
I've been huge into electronics and wiring since high school, when i'm not balls deep in the Hatch you can usually catch me in the back of my garage redoing f*ed up harnesses.

To Them, they're just vehicles. To Us, they're a way of life.

- Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:23 pm #91227 Photography is my main hobby / second income.

I like doing graphic design, I consider it a hobby too even though it is my job.

I love building things, especially cars. I wish I could have more project cars but my EG has taken me long enough to complete. One day I want to build a Cobra roadster Factory Five kit or find a 78-79 Ford Bronco to work on.

In ~10 years I want to have my own warehouse photography studio for photographing vehicles.

I have wanted to learn 3-D for a while, but never got around to it. I would love to design my own vehicles, I used to draw my own vehicle designs a lot.
