Technology of any kind

Ok here are mine.

Games. (Pretty obvious because I make them for a living).

Movies. I am a movie catalog and can usually pick what movie it is with only seeing 5 seconds of any film.

My wife and my soon to be kid of course.

And Taekwondo competitions. Was meant to be competing at the Australian Nationals on the 3rd of October, but have to be somewhere else on that very same day out of state :cry: So have to make the state team again next year. :beer

Woody, years ago when I first met cookie he had a home theatre. i was hooked and he helped me set one up. Technology has changed in home theatre heaps over the years and I now have a pretty good setup. Dedicated upstairs room about 500 DVD's at last count. we use the theatre everyday, either myself or my kids and their friends are up there. PS3 on the big screen is awesome.

In no particular order...

Cars
Women
Music (I used to be a DJ)
Computers
Guns
Helicopters and military aircraft (I used to be in the RAAF)
AV equipment
Movies/TV shows
EDIT: Computer games too!

The best thing about my business is that I sell so many of the things that I love.
That can be a bad thing too!

i have too many hobbies haha.

obviously my beautiful girlfriend is more than a hobby :D

but the other things i are interested in:

i'm addicted to rc cars, both on and off road. not into nitro, brushless and lipo equipped electric is where its at! i love 1/10th scale rally cars, and have the perfect spot nearby to run them. and an on road track within 20k's.

guitar - i've played since i was 10, have 3 of them, used to be in bands when i was younger. dont play it as much as i used to though, which is pretty typical i suppose! especially as i now...

dj - have been doing so for the last 3 1/2 years, started out on vinyl decks as you should, now play pretty much exclusively on cdj's. i actually bought my vinyl decks from tydi who is currently the itm 50 number one dj in australia, i used to work for his dad at repco before i got my business! it has been crazy seeing his rise from a pimply 14 year old winning his first dj comp to now playing in europe, signed to armada etc.. ps i play trance. mainly tech trance. dont play commercial stuff (hate top 40/electro etc), so i play in brisbane every now and then.

beach - as you would living where i do, summertime i spend a few days soaking up the rays, and the odd bike ride along mooloolaba/alex

other cars - yep i'm also into the humble gemini, specifically the early models, i love coupe's. have spent mega coin on my green coupe which has been off the road undergoing its SECOND ground up rebuild, since late 2001. should have it driving by my birthday i hope.. also i have a 1951 Chev styleline sedan sitting there gathering surface rust, will be getting stuck into that bad boy after the gem's on the road..

Amazing and varied stuff, thanks for the responses so far.

"ps i play trance. mainly tech trance" I love the variety of peoples interests.

Redzone, my first good car was a 75 Gemini Coupe. Im thinking of buying one and restoring it. I had a lot of good memories in that car :wink: and on the bonnet of that car :o and on the front bumper :D

That is incredible. Nice car, I have decided against restoring one after looking at the prices of them. They are sought after now arent they !

Cheers! ah they're not that bad, certainly not as expensive as their european counterpart (opel kadett c), i could find you a nice original condition coupe for about $3000.. when they're done up they can go for big bucks for the right car though.

Hey nachoman what kind of music did u play?
