I'm into Hi-Fi, Modern Coputing, Retro Consoles/Games, Cars (many sorts like R/C, models, kits, Slot Cars). Feel free to elaborate more but it's a hot day here today and I can't be botherd right now! Also any questions about my other intrestes i'l answer. [EDIT] Another side intrest of mine was art (digital and sketches) although this has been slightly abandoned in the last few years but maybe one day... |

Computing - Obviously :-D
Retro Gaming - Computer and console. I have a collection of over 150 NES and SNES game carts. And a few others. Sega, Atari, C64, N64... Music - played guitar since 1987, studied at a music school for 2 years '91/'92 then worked around the city (Perth) in bands for 10 years before quitting to follow computer studies. It's just a hobby now. Art - I like to sketch. Pencil mostly. I'm no damn good at it, but I enjoy it. I'm sure there's more, but these are the main ones I guess. On any given day, one may be more prominent than the others.

Retro Gaming (Amiga, SNES, NES, MAME, u get the idea)
New Gaming (PC, PSP, NDS, PS2, PS3, Wii etc..) Cars (well this is where it got expensive, and where I got my alias, lets see if any can figure that one out) Renovating (well all my friends always need something done, and I tend to spend money on tools so I guess this could be a hobby) |

In addition to an addiction to old games and computers, I've got a thing for motorcycles ('03 BMW 1200 CLC) and music. I've been playing bass and guitar since 1966.

Need my pc for that though :-(

I was a co-driver in a rally car for about 20 rallies. Did pretty good. Haven't read a pace note in 2 years, but I might pick it up again one day. I also drive motocross every now and then, and wheelie my supermotard whenever I can.
I'm also very interested in electronics, and I try to build things from microcontrollers and whatever I find laying around.

Besides computing I am heavily into music (both listening to it and making my own) and more recently I have got quite into politics.
Some of the PMQs videos on Youtube are priceless comedy, especially William Hague!
