WHAT OTHER HOBBYS do you have other than pinball.

[ddstoys]

Apart from pinballs ive been known to do up a few cars.  (Except my own HQ Monaro)   And i enjoy restoring anything old or coin operated.   Im also good at Drinking Johhny walker and Coke and pissing off the wife but there more of an expertise than a hobby

High end stereo systems aka audiophile.  Currently running Genesis 201 speakers with custom tube mono's.  Don't ask about the theater room in the basement.

WOW can i come over??

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using as a source with that gear?

EAD Signature processor, custom CD player given to me by an engineer that worked at NSM, the CD output is run through a Genesis Lens which does a fantastic job taking out the digital clipping.  The tube amps are one of kind which were designed and built by an engineer in New Jersey specifically for the 201 mid/tweeter.  I got the speakers and amps from a writer/critics for one of the audiophile magazines.

Apart from Pinball, jukeboxs and arcade im into way to many other costly hobbies such as RC helicopters, race cross country mountain bikes, play guitar and also pistol shooting. Also into any kind of sports and generally stick to the more risky ones for that kick of adrenaline

when i was about 20 yrs of age, a mate of mine built an identical car to your yellow monaro. he had a 253 blue printed and spent ALOT of money on it.
One day, my brother and his mate said lets race. I was in the monaro, my brother and his mate on a Kawasaki Z1000 (same bike in the orig mad max movie that does the mad power stand over the hill with 2 x blokes on it). Well, we had the race, we were sitting on 240 klms an hour and my mate n brother on the Kawasaki crawled past us and disappeared off in the distance doing about 270k's an hour. I will never forget that day til the day and die. I also note, it was the only time i have ever sat in a holden and enjoyed it. My dad was a ford man thru and thru.So, i was a Ford man.
 
But now only like Mercedes now that i have got older and saved a few pennys. I am looking at buying a Benz this next 12 months.The car market has died bigtime and there are alot of bargains around. I have always wanted a Benz. My wife says "sell all the pinballs" and buy her a benz too.
I say "no way hosay". My pinball collection is never going anywhere. Unless i can stick them in the benz. lol !
Had my fair share of 2 door Ford XB n XC coupes/351's. Nothing like the noise of a revving V8. Nothing evers comares to the V8 burble.

Nice monaro thats for sure.

"crawled past us and disappeared off in the distance doing about 270k's an hour"

Haha yeah! Now that sounds great but something i've never done, and doubt i'll ever do at my age.
I remember driving around Sydney in my bosses Ford F-250 (1976 model) and LOVING it. What a sound, never got bored of that engine sound. I used to really enjoy pulling up next to try-hard home boys in their hatch-backs at red lights and basically scare the crap out of them by revving a bit . This vehicle turned some heads, but that's about my only 'cool' car experience unfortunately, i turned to Rock'n'Roll as a young lad and didn't, and still don't, care for many other things, except pins, oh, and girls.

I would not exactly call it a hobby, but I've restored a 1979 Toyota Celica (with rebuilt Twin Cam 2 litre), a 1975 Toyota Hiace Van and ute, and finally a 1961 VW Karmann Ghia - restored from a wreck.

I USED to collect KISS memorabilia (and I have some VERY rare items)

I still enjoy Fishing, I just returned from Rye where we caught quite a few fish. I was RIGHT into the game - custom made rods and $700 reels 

[greatwichjohn]

I will be returning to playing golf in the spring. Other leisure activity is traveling, to southern climate. Either to Texas where my brother is or Cuba or D.R.
Also I love going to Texas Pinball Festival, Allentown, & Pinball Expo.

I like having a punt and own a couple of harness racing horses.  I can't afford real horses.  (Gallopers)
