between work and cars, there isn't much time for another hobby Though a lot of things interest me... I do have a stamp collection of exclusively Hungarian stamps. Several thousand stamps. I like motorcycles and sail boats... or power boats. I'm also down with home automation... you know, like remote this and power that... I'm a little bit into home audio, though I don't know much about audio in general. Screwing is always a welcome activity too...

When I have spare time, I'm usually doing some kind of woodworking project. I pretty much have all the floor standing models (eg. 14" bandsaw, tablesaw, planer/jointer, drill press) and many other tools. Way to many to list here.

I was just talking with one of the guys I work with about how much we would love to a have woodshop. I build all sorts of cages for all my animals, and it sucks only having a drill and a dremel.

I got my Glider Pilot liscence 2 summers ago. Unfortuantely, after leaving the Air Cadets, I haven't had much time - or funds for that matter - to pursue it very much. I loved it, its an amazing feeling, being in control, the adrenaline rushes are insane, practicing spins/spiral dives/steep stalls, etc. And compared to powered flight, you only get one shot on landing...you F&*$ up, and you're screwed, theres no powering up and going around for another run.

I have a bit of Militaria as well, mostly Polish WW2 stuff. Beret, medals, pins, etc.. Its an interesting hobby, but I don't really have the time right now. I'm going to wait until I'm about 35 and loaded with cash, buy a bunch of WW2 uniforms, and make some beautiful displays in my house somewhere. Lifesize manequins wearing the uniforms, get all my medals and pins professionally displayed. Maybe get some classic rifles mounted on the walls???

Having the right tools sure does pay off in the long run. The x-mas that just passed was a big one for me. I had to build a coffee table, drysink and two end tables. I have built a lot of things in the past and I am sure glad I have my tools. There are a bunch of things that I still could use, but I have the majority of them.

I collect die-cast model cars. Mostly 1/18th scale, but I have a few of the smaller ones as well. I also hope to learn to ride and buy a motorcycle this summer.

I have been into rc cars since grade 8. I used to race them professionally in an indoor track but I have no time anymore. I still have 2 that I screw around with in the summer. My other hobby would be computers and building them.
