What other hobby's do you have?

When I have spare time from my scaping-hobby, I'm mostly into cars. Then Mini-z RC-cars, beer brewing, General DIY (love making stuff), electronics, music (playing and lissening), computers, gaming and so on :p

Here's my car (needs lowering ;) ) :

Just stumbled on this.
At the moment most are on the backbench, i have to be available for my work a lot so i have to be at ot near the practice 24/7, but most of my hobbies have always been focussed on South America. It started with snakes, While studying i got into reptiles and snakes. I started with some cornsnakes, and later i had Haitian treeboas (Epicratus striatus) and redtailed Boa Constrictor. From there i got into orchids which eventually led to a greenhouse with almost all of the Cattleya species. I stopped with the snakes because the missus wanted me to stop. The greenhouse had a heating failure on cold night wich killed the collection. I had some landturtles for a while. These went to a european breeding program . I had taken up photography and had collected some nice things. Sadly a burglary led to the dissapearence of my computer and hard drives i had the collection on. Only a few on the web where left, and some familypics on dvd's.
Í have been an avid golfplayer, i started at 16 and played till i had to go in the army. I started golf again some fifteen years ago and played till about for years ago when the business had to take first place.
I have had an aquarium for 22 years now. First bought one "for my son" when he was 2 or 3. Got a bigger secondhand one within a year. This one went with us when we moved, and build the tank i still have now with some friends a year or 3 after the move.
Due to being near the home a lot i got into PC gaming too. I did play WoW for some 8 years on a decent level.
Nowadays: i divide hobbytime between the tank, PC and a bit of photography. I hope to pick up golf again in the near future, because being out on the course on a Sunny evening alone while everybody has left is one of the nicest feelings i know, just me, my golfball and the course. Ah the tranquility......

I raced bikes up until late 2012. Had a bad fall and broke my hip. Now I ride just for fun, don't have to eat rabbit food and train for 10 hours a week. I get out out 3-4 times a week now. Best results were a 20minute 52 second 10 mile time trial. A hilly 25 in 58.05. 3 weeks ago I rode a 100mile sportive and put the 6th fastest time in out of 650 riders.
 
I've had a project studio up and running for a long time. This is defiantly my first love.

Here's a pic of my studio.

Wow I've not seen a 16/60 in a long time my dad use to own one. I've currently got a 1966 jaguar 420 that needs some work and I seriously need to finish my mk1 golf resto
