What other hobbys do u guys have other than Pinball ?  (drinking lots of alcohol, chasing girls and nice cars are a given for every member, except a few of our lady members). Photos are welcome. Whats ya other hobby's guys /gals ?

I will get the thread started off.

My other hobby includes collecting expensive Star Trek collectables from all round the world (cause i sell them and make lots of $$. (bit nerdy hey !)
and flying radio controlled nitro methanol planes. Got about a dozen. Fun to fly, pain in the ass to fix.
Watching UFC cage fighting and all things Star Trek and Stargate Atlantis. Good war movies.
ohh, and i forgot, jet ski or ski-ing !

who's next. whats ya other hobbies ?

I used to collect and restore antique clocks. Got out of the hobby few years ago, but I kept one. Its a 1890's Watsons Scotch Wallclock. I prize this thing more than my pins, keep it wound, hang it in the kitchen, and is the clock everyone here relies on for the time.

As well as drinking beer & playing pinball

I collect diecast model cars mostly 1:43rd & 1:64th scale + lots of Brocky gear, race/bathurst programmes and posters.

Also like collecting Bundaberg Rum merchandising signage as well. One day everthing I have collected over the last 10+ years will be displayed in my shed aka my V8 Super bar. ^^^
Pinballs in my collection Elvira, Stern Grand Prix, Bally Corvette, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Judge Dredd, Black Rose and Data East Guns n Roses.

I am sure I have answered this before, but I will answer it again anyway!

I collect DSE VZ200/VZ300 computers and peripherals plus software and relevant magazines from the era.  The VZ200 was an 8 bit computer from 1983, and the VZ300 was an updated version released in 1985 - also released in 1985 were better peripherals such as the floppy disk drive.

we finally get to see the monaro. hope its going to have a 308 or 350 in it.

also, I just noticed as well,the funnel web, two square rows down, between the 6 and the 7 hand on Extra Balls clock.
Extraball, is that a real spider or is it a "dont touch my friggin clock" plastic spider which keeps the kids away.
Could be a few hundred real onces living inside. Now,u never told us you breed friggin big spiders ! lol

EB, keep us updated, real spider or not ?  ^&^  ohhh, nice car Mark.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^
