Messing about on the water in our old wooden boat. Took her across the English channel this year and up the river Thames. Most weekends are spent with a paintbrush and a sealer gun trying to keep the rain water out!

Restoration and repair of old radios, Hi-Fi & record players mainly valve ones.

here is an amplifier I repaired for somebody and made it work with a leak pre-amplifier as the original one had gone missing.

mostly drawing and collecting odd things. by odd things i mean bottles with words such as "benbow's dog mixture" "eiffel tower lemonade" and "not to be taken" written on them - I also like animal skulls and fur scraps, i have a few brass items, my favourite being an old long horn. oh, and university, and my boyfriend (hardly a hobby, but he does take up time!) I also love to cook and take photos. (:

carlos, i didn't know you had lusitanios! I'm very jealous! when you have recieved your morris drawings I would very much like to draw one of your horses (for free, I do love to draw them)

any chance of a few pics of your drawings limegreen especialy morris ones or any of dogs

In no particular order: Meccano modelling, collecting prewar Hornby trains and other Meccano products, editing two car club newsletter/magazines one monthly one bimonthly, looking after and restoring my own cars, and attempting to train for a triathlon in the time left over. The last one to be honest is the most difficult to fit in especially on a cold wet morning, when I should be running or cycling to work...

Brewing, paragliding, kitebuggying, gardening.

but with 3 young kids and the morry these have sadly taken a bit of a backseat for the moment.

When not out and about with my Morris I am an active members on my local Village Hall Committee. I organise our local Village Fate, ond We have two Bassett Hounds and are active members of their club. As we get closer to the festive season I get pulled around the towns streets collecting money for local charities Then theres parties and Christmas tree lighting events ect. Then it's back to organising events for our Branch so we can get our much loved cars out and about again.
Hay Ho....

When I'm not covered head to toe working on my own car, I'm usually covered head to toe helping other members of the car clubs I'm in work on their cars or in a similar state working on steam locos either doing maintenance or shovelling coal

Being a failed art student, I like to paint a bit and try my hand at graphic design. I'm also a drummer in a band. We used my Traveller in our press shots!

Bikes, hope to hillclimb/sprint this one next year along with a classic scrambler to get dirty with

used to be a news photographer but now unemployed [frame][/frame]

Model Railways when I can

Don't seem to have much time for hobbies but I do love gardening. We will have a new project soon as well as (cross fingers) an allotment to tend.
Also I love Lego especially technic. I got some way into creating a Lego Moggie. Started with the chassis members and worked my way through the torsion bar suspension, uprights, steering. It was a real challenge getting the functions in the right place and to scale. Then I couldn't find any wheels to fit!!
I'm moving house soon and hopefully will be organised enough to get my illustrating and graphic design 'studio' set up. I'm employed part time at the mo and don't intend to expand that - I'd rather add creative income from home.

I play guitar & sing in a rock band
Also run a Triumph Stag
And I love snowboarding
Bizarrely I also enjoy DIY

i have noticed a few minor owners have stags which are lovely cars

That's one of my hobbies too! I do mainly valve stuff as well; 1940's radios, HiFis and guitar amps from the 60's and 70's. When I'm not doing that I'm a musician (guitarist/keyboard player in a space rock band at the moment) and also a comedy writer. But only when my 4 year old son isn't demanding my attention, which is most of the time at the moment.

Gardening and DIY mainly. I am currently rewiring my old house. Collecting, at the moment mostly Lansdowne models and old postcards of the Deepings (Lincs).

Ah! Weird ! I'm a musican (rock/pop though) and also have a Stag.

What are the odds ..

Railways both model and the East Lanchasire railway. and WW2 Living history.
