Photography

Music (Collecting, Listening b1tching about)

Dog walking (No it's not the same as dogging Spudly)

DIY (a.k.a removing doors for no apparent reason, then putting them back)

Generic car stuff.

Painting.

I have an obsession with having stupidly high quality audio equipment and have to have the best sound reproduction possible. Often swapping many components and mixing and matching.
Also I REFUSE to read audio magazines as they are crap and don't have my ears!
It's not healthy it's soooo annoying for ANYBODY that has lived with me in the past/present but it's great when i have an eBay purge on stuff I'm not happy with. lol

Other than that just the usual blokey stuff, Sex, Clubs, Porn, Drugs and sausage rolls!!

when i get to drive our tractors with dumper trailers on, i like to slowly open the rear hydraulic tailgate about 6" & when some unsuspecting pedestrian is least expecting it, i slam it shut, it makes an almighty kaboom noise & has caused people to drop shopping, small children & most likely their guts....

[gazz]

well all i do is..

[Royston]

Now your a very lucky man, Do you own this?. Not cheap anymore!!:thumb:

It belongs to my dad;) she is a rare machine.

I am just pleased she's up and running again, had a porous block and it was difficult to get hold of a good correct pre force block.

Just need to sort the hydraulics so I can go ploughing next year to get the engine bedded in;)

Like nova sports, all the Irish boys are buying tractors for a silly money, and pushed the market up:eek: .

My dad has collected for years, when they were cheap, but they aren't now:)

Painting - not so weird

Shooting (rifle, air rifle and shotgun). Not exactly weird but some people do get awfully upset by it.

[Lynsey]

Believe it or not, I actually LOVE doing some girly stuff. Not particularly a wierd hobby but I have just got a new Toyota sewing machine, cannot wait to get going on it and make lots more pretty things for my home.

I too have a total obsession with making lists, for anything!

[draper]

i find making lists very therapuetic (especially when at work and bored)


exception to the rule - making the list of jobs to do on the vectra and/or nova lol

[blue_peg_16v]

wierdiest hobby is shoe horning silly engines into vauxhall rotboxes

[Lynsey]

Is it an ivory shoehorn you use?

[ben doodar]

Ha ha yes lynz your sewing machine. I'm sure that will come in handy with your cars, re-trimming the back seat of the nova with the astra gte cover, that I'm sure you mentioned before.

God you should talk to Jack.. He luuurves his lists. He would probably make a list of all the lists he has to make. He is so anal lol

[Hayley]

I used to have a hobby when I was a teenager of collecting weird and colourful alcho bottles. I managed to get some from america too so I was well chuffed. haha idiot!

I do still like to collect weird souvenirs from trips away. not the usual postcards etc.. but other nice stuff that would remind me of the trip. Like once, I took some sugar sachets from a restaurant that had little proverbs on the back. SAD! lol

[mowgli]

/\ i know that one... i have a genuine manila envelope, from manila, and a hat from medicine hat in canada...

[MK999]

Believe it or not, I actually LOVE doing some girly stuff.

No way lol

[grooge]

ive got several hundred one pound notes! an old couple on my paper run used to pay me with them and i started saving them up to buy 'something' when i was at school.
that must have been about 8 years ago and i still keep one anytime i get one in my change at shops etc. everyone i know gives me them when they get them aswell and the wad of notes just grows. really should spend it sometime but for some reason i just never have.
wenever my mum see's a pound note now she asks me when i'm going to spend them and tries to convince me into buying stuff lol

apart from that i mountain bike, bit of motorbiking in the woods, fish occasionally, usual pub etc

[MK999]

ive got several hundred, pound notes!

Edited to remove the "wtf I didn't even know hundred pound notes existed let alone ever got them as a paper round tip" lol

Out of all the "early" big ford hybrids, they are the easiest to drive, she came from a farm at Long Stratton, Lincolnshire, my dads had her since @ late 96 after seeing one at Fordson 500 event in 96

Like old grey fergies, have a continental, a petrol half track, and a diesel that stood in a showroom all its life, never did a days work!! plus ford ferguson 8N plus a couple of 35's

[mowgli]

re the northrop... i once drove a mythe holm (recreation of a muir hill built in the late 80's & came second in a ploughing match which is remarkable for 2 reasons.... 1. i'd never ploughed before, 2 the muir hill's cab had such crap visibility that you couldn't see the front wheels, let alone the furrow.

[grooge]

Edited to remove the "wtf I didn't even know hundred pound notes existed let alone ever got them as a paper round tip" lol

aye, should really have read that over first, the tips were good but not that good lol

[Jackroadkill]

who? your victims?

Usually people who think it's cruel to shoot rabbits to eat. For some reason they seem to think it's fine to eat a shed-grown chicken that's been rammed full of antibiotics and kept in a tiny pen with forty other birds but to shoot a rabbit that's never been mistreated etc etc - no way!

now that is possible the only vehicle i know more about than novas....

when i was 20, i was working for an Agric Engineers & they had a contract to fully rebuild mf 135's for export..

they were done in batches of 8, they were fully stripped down, the engines got reconditioned with genuine parts, ground cranks, new liners & 148 pistons, recon fuel systems new electrical components, then resprayed in the later 300 series chassis grey & 2 pack tinwork & wheels. zero hour clocks too.. they were then run up on a dynomometer for 1 hr each as proof of the work. these were so good that we actually sold some in the uk. we had special frames made so with the tinwork removed, and the wheels off the top one & the steering wheel off the bottom one, they could be driven into the container piggy back style.. we never thought to take photos... we took 20's, 135's 148's and even bits & bobs of tractors, the 148's had their trans spacer removed. it was a good few years of work, and made some good money for the company. the back yard was an aladdin's cave of weird & wonderful fergie bits.. but sadly, it is all gone..

ps. i know where mf 135 serial no. 000001 is. it is on a farm not far from me & is in regular use.

Brought one of a mate and started to have a play with it changed the exhaust and fitted a 70s kit luckily a mate was clued up about them as he'd been riding for a while so learnt everything off him really and from then on every bit of spare time was spent polishing or tinkering and even tho iv sold mine now still do odd jobs for mates on theres and plan on getting a 125 for the summer :)
