Default Do you have too many hobbies?

...or are cars/Subarus your main 'thing'.

I seem to have too many hobbies and not enough cash

Cars/Bikes/Photography/Home Cinema/Guitars/Computing/Music

I've been on sick for the last 3 weeks and still not had enough time...

Mostly my car

I race RC cars when I can but it takes up a whole Sunday so not very family friendly and if I go out Saturday night its all off for Sunday.

I also have a permanent slot car track (Scalextrics) in the loft. The landscaping is getting there slowly, trees, hills, mountains etc.

My RC cars over the years have cost more than most people pay on a real car. I've got over 50 slot cars each from 10-30. Have one that cost me £80 the "Rolls Royce" of slot cars.



Similar to one above. A work of art if your into that sort of thing

Definitely too many interests and not enough hours in the day! I guess it is a case of making time for the ones that you really enjoy and having to make some sacrifices at the expense of others.

I've got some updates to load tonight actually. All the plaster work is done, got a little grass down just as an experiment. If you fancy a look at slot cars etc try www.slotforum.com. Check out tracks and scenery threads at what other have done. The spanish rally tracks are truly stunning. If you take some time and spread the cost its not too bad. I got my track when Argos were doing specials on scalextric kits (although Scaley track isnt the best it'll do)

one of my favorites
