Cars otherwise wouldn't be here. Learning guitar, might one day join my brothers little band. Aviation, used to be really into commercial aviation, still love it but nowadays, it's like getting on a bus. |

It's hard to put them in to order, so I'll just put them in randomly.
- Collecting model cars - Playing Ice Hockey - Playing with cars - Guitar - Photography I'm sure I'm missing one, but yeah. Some expensive ones in there. You only live once though.

I'm into music in a big way - have been since I was 5 when I used to play DJ at Mum and Dads parties in the 60's (and ruining the gramaphone a few times in the process...lol).
Sang in a heavy rock/metal band in the early 80's, play guitar and have a CD/album/music DVD collection that covers nearly one entire wall in the loungeroom. Love my music loud , which was probably a contributing factor in 2 marriage break ups. My new woman doesn't complain about my music or cars so its a win win situation. Although my favourite is 70's and 80's classic rock , I love a lot of soul music, motown, blues and, dare I say it, country rock. Looking forward to the movie Rock of Ages when it come out because the music is from bands I loved in the 80's and still do. Also love rugby union, fitness and weight training. Enjoy personal investment and real estate and am active in a few property investment internet forums as well as AFF

Main hobby is cars. It's the only hobby that I not only get to indulge in every day of the week, but also doubles as a necessity. Can't beat it!
In my spare time though, I like to break things... mainly computers. Photography is another one however I don't make time for it nearly enough as I should. |

I'm still firmly planted in script kiddie land, can't code to save myself which I need to do something about. Its scary watching them just bypass a fully updated system with corporate level antivirus like it was a casual flick of the wrist. |

Also learn about object orientated programming. Essentially once you have those core skills its just learning the different languages. |

The guy in the video is an instructor for the Israeli Defence Force and various other military around the world. he's a bit mental! It's alot of fun and relatively easy to learn as its based on real world scenarios. It cops alot of flak amongs MMA type circles due to the use of groin kicks etc but the idea behind Krav is to remove a threat as quickly and as devastating as possible. It's main function is to either incapacitate, maim or kill your opponent before they can inflict injury on you by attacking the vunerable areas of the body. Its unique in that it allows for similtaneous defense and attack which is very hard to stop as Krav has no rules unlike most mma. Last edited by GT 160; 07-06-2012 at 07:56 PM. |

Planes and heli's and most RC lol
I have 3 planes at present, I hve an E-Flite pulse on order and have pre-ordered a hangar 9 twin otter. I have 1 heli, but will soon be more. My favourite plane has to be frank, frank is short for frankencessna. A severely overpowered, 900mm foam cessna, repaired and modded with so many non stock and bits and bobs, we named him the Frankencessna. Here is a video of how a cessna is not meant to fly lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnx8DtTdyCQ Last edited by Spudz27; 07-06-2012 at 12:28 PM. |
