What is everyone else into on here then?

Sorry for the posts today I just want to get to know people and what things people are into etc...

So what floats your boat other than German tanks?

I'm into trials riding (Street trials that is)

If you don't know what it is go to www.trials-forum.co.uk

What about you guys?

Well I work as an IT techie so away from my interest in all things Polo (and car stuff generally) I mess about with computers a bit. Other than that I tend to get back in from work, crack open a cold beer or two and relax in front of the TV/DVD/PS2 and be a lazy git :lol:

Went snowboarding for the first time back in January and that was great fun, so I'm hoping to go again early next year - thats kind of a seasonal thing though :wink:

I play basketball with my team-mates from college every week (8 years since I left college now!)

I study Tang Soo Do (Korean Martial Art) and Im now a Yellow belt (oooh)

I support Glasgow Rangers and have done all my life (unlike some 'new' Chelsea supporters)

I used to race Cross-Country Mountain Biking until my last bike got stolen. Now Ive got a GT Ruckus 1.0 hardtail and I go out on it as often as I can.

I enjoy DIY on my house and car (see my wheels)

Also Im into my Mrs very much, in fact we get married in one year last Saturday (06/08/06)

Thats about it!

I split my time evenly between working (shelfstacking mainly, at waitrose), tinkering with the car, socialising and slobbing about. When I fancy a break from the routine, I also play bass guitar and trumpet. I don't lead a terribly exciting life...

Hmm, bit about me.

Music probably forms the biggest part of my life. I'm part of the local music collective and I put on gigs etc and met a lot of great people through it.

Love to play music, guitar being the instrument of choice and I have a stunningly beautiful Yamaha Pacifica 112, soon to be getting a RGX520, mmmm sexy. I definately want to finally sort my self out (after 10 years of waiting) with my own drum kit.

Supported Bolton Wanderers and St Helens all of my life, used to play a bit of league but don't any more.

Pretty much every Friday you can find me in Rileys on Blackburn road in Bolton playing American pool or the odd bit of snooker.

And that's pretty much my life! Thrilling stuff eh.

EDIT: I'm now officially T-Total at 21 ;).

- Cars..... (obviously but thats driving, building, modifying, servicing and tuning do a few track days a year as well)

- Motor racing (viewing - at the track side rather than TV and travel a lot to do it, Nascar (USA), GT (France), WRC (Europe and South Wales) - you get the picture)

- Kite flying (20 plus kites last count)

- Cinema (quality time with the better half)

- 2 cats (still not trained to pass spaners yet)

Got a partner who I don't spend enough time with :roll: and a house that hasn't got a big enough driveway and garage (only room for 6 cars - I think I need to slim down the fleet :roll: )
