10K+ Poster!!
Hence why I need to pull my finger out my arse and be able to even "think" about these sorts of things
A FAST Mint MK4 wont let me do these things
Would LOVE to SCUBA, already love home cinema, would like to try ski-ing, and would like to have the cash to take a certain few people out for a good beer/curry sesh without having to worry about the money.

Been going with my old man who does it at competition level. He's insanely good, but it's a properly satisfying thing to do though!

Me and my mates always have a hobbie on the go. We have done nitro cars, helicopters, power kites (that was mad and scary at times),off road buggy, jet ski, motox bikes and loads of other things.

I do a lot of dancing, have done since I was little. I do tap, jazz, modern, bit of ballet and pole dancing but most recently break dancing. Jogging cos I'm doing the race for life for cancer research 
Oh and lots of socialising!

Football, ice/roller hockey, tennis, basketball, eating, drinking - but my main hobbie which I totally love is playing the guitar, and playing in my band!
Any spare second I have, I pick up my guitar. If you're into guitar based music at all, I'd definitely recommend learning the guitar, as it's so cool being able to play songs by your favourite bands.
It's easy enough to teach yourself, me and my 2 brothers did, but you gotta have patience!
Will probably take a few months to learn to play the thing properly, but once you can play it, you can pretty much learn an new song in about half an hour! Really satisfying hobbie!

Happily retired
I collect certain Trade Cards.
Collect mainly Footballers between 1948/1959 its something I do every single day combing e-bay etc to find those illusive cards. Need less than 20 cards out of many Hundreds in a full set. Will pay silly money to get them, its an adiction far worse than Cosworth. Recently put a rare card on e-bay by mistake & had to get Chip to buy it back
. He had to bid Ł50 to get it cos other collectors realised how rare it was.
So if you have any Barratt 1950 New Series up to 1959 A8 you may be sitting on a goldmine.
I also collected Dinky Toys for many years but when I was offered Ł19700 for my collection of 35 Foden Trucks it sounded a good deal & I was lucky to sell at the peak of the market. One truck I paid Ł50 for years back went for Ł3500, apparently only one other example was known to have survived from a batch of a few Hundred made in 1952.

My hobby's are:
Photography
Skeelering or skating, great doing downhill for getting a rush, which gets into cold fear when realising there no decent brakes on them
and that end of the road is getting nearer very quickly...
Music playing, since I bought a real Fender jamming makes me happy.
My car (and trackdays) , in which most of the hardearned money goes... Really love doing trackdays.
And for the last month a PS3 with GT5, rather be outside working on the car, but with the weather.... Hate doing things in the rain...

Oh, I'm into the old comedies as well, got a big collection of things like:
Only Fools
Steptoe
Fall and Rise Of Reginald Perrin (fantastic)
George and Mildred
Open All Hours
Hancock
And all the Auf Wiedersehen Pets on DVD.
And I'm into film and cinema. Maybe I'm not as sad as I though I was.
Maybe just need some more action hobbies.
