would that be a 1968? dodge charger by any chance 8-) But those aren't the original wheels though thought they had 5 (poss 6) silver blade with solid black back bit like the ones in the background

Never guess I like proper muscle cars

Why do I know Im going to get grief for this....

I like playing Crib for a team in Melksham. I was a member of the 3-a-side winning team last season! I also enjoy a game of pool & used to play at league level. Ive been asked to join a team for next season but Im not 100% sure yet as its on a Tuesday when I have other commitments!

Hmmm...let's see. I've got the 1968 MkII Cortina, that keeps me busy. I (currently) play lead guitar in a 60's cover band (I have played bass, drums and even a bongo in past groups), oh....and drinking!!! I'm pretty sure that's classed as a hobby! [smiley=beer.gif]

Kite boarding, though I have not had much chance to do as much as I would like this year at all for various reason. I really should try more as winter rolls in.

This is me on Hudsons Field in Salisbury a couple of years ago.

I made the fairy for our christmas tree last year lol :D I used to trampoline alot too so would love to get back into that as im quite good at it. Used to play the drums years ago but if i had the space for a set i would take that up as a hobby again.

Yep, you're right... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Been rebuilding the engine over the winter. It now runs a 440 (that's 7.2 litres) bored out 0.030", with high compression pistons, high performance cam, 750 Holley carb, hand made stainless exhaust system, etc. Did the gearbox at the same time, and the brakes, steering joints, shocks, back axle, etc.

Still looks crap, cos the bodywork needs completely restoring, but I'll get there eventually... ;)

Wow.. just spotted this thread.
What a bunch of telented people we have out there [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Would love to have a go of some of the hobbies already mentioned.

Apart from my newly revived love of bikes / biking / bikers, I'm ashamed to say I have a thing for cars as well, especially modified ones. Got a mkiv Supra, 3 lt. twin turbo modded to around 400 BHP which I drag up Santa Pod and trackday a few times a year.
(Plus a highly modded "granny" Smart Car for sale at the mo - nearly double the factory power) :D

I've been fencing for about 15 years (I was a "vet" at 40) and love it, it's brilliant fun. Most proud moment ever was getting selected for the GB team to go to the European Championships in Austria three years ago. I've never been a SportySpice but my determination sees me through. Not pretty (I fence "epee") it's just like boxing with blades [smiley=happy.gif]


Been a Falconer (well Austringer to be exact) since I was about 14 (yes, that long) no hawks at the mo, but after thirty years it's in your blood and at some point I'll be on the moors again.

My car at Santa Pod (no longer A2 SOO though)

If you like killing things then fencing might be for you.

Some people start it thinking it's a bit like ballet / dancing and a bit airy-fairy, but especially the weapon we use (Epee) is not a bit like that.
It's "stuff them before they stuff you", and you can hit them anywhere (toe to head) any how, any time (after the ref says fence) !
You are not judged on how you do it, just how successful you are.
This suits my awkward Neanderthal style a treat :)

I fence at two clubs, Warminster on Wed - small & friendly, and Bath on Thursdays - bigger and less so I think.
We take anybody anytime at Warminster but Bath have three Newbie courses a year. Both have all the kit.

Tell ya what, if half a dozen people wanted a go I'd set a "come & try it" morning up at Warminster Sports Centre (I coach as well) so you could have a go with other Newbies - just a thought !

nice bird gerry [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

There's nothing like being out in the countryside on an autumn day, sun in the sky, stiff chill in the air, and a nice bird on your fist ;D

Woah woah woah. I don't want to kill anyone i've just always fancied a go at it. It looks graceful but dangerous at the same time. If you have any beginer sessions coming up PM me. Just to fore-warn you i will be crap.

Hey Gerry, I remember seeing that Supra around Westbury. Nice looking car. What sort of times did it run at the Pod? I'm guessing with 400bhp, low 13's high 12's?

Gerry

Mark:
Spot on, hoping for high 12s next month at "Supra-Pod" rear wheel drive traction and quite a heavy car doesn't help. If I can get some cheap drag radials before then then I recon mid 12s.
This is the one in the club to beat: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=222183&highlight=drag+radials


Rob:
I'll keep you posted, but I'll sort something out if a few want to have a go.

Beamer:
Not talents, just stuff I do - and I've had a very long time to stuff in :-)
"Fly & Hunt" are spot on, although we Austringers usually just say "killin stuff"

Wiltshire:
Funny, I've never seen it as "graceful" more like just "scary" :-)

I forgot to say that I don't spend my weekends as a female, just incase people are wondering.

It was a fancy dress party where opposites were the theme [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

It somehow is expected really. Looks like a fast car, if you know what I mean. I must admit, I like something that surprises people. Slicks make a huge difference, but so do final drive gears. If you can sort both, you'll be flying... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I just enjoy mucking about and there's no fancy dress shops in the Falklands so I needed to borrow an outfit from my mates wife!!

That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ;D
