TMS: Share Your Hobby Thread...

No matter where we're from on the board, we've all got one thing in common; a love for Mustangs. I'm sure however that there are many of us here that invest their time into other endeavors whether it be an activity or a sport. Let's share some of the things we do aside from spending time with our cars.

Since I initiated this thread it's only fair that I start. I have a passion for motorcycles and motorcycle racing. I've raced at several tracks between CA & NV some of which include Willow Springs & Spring Mountain Raceway. Unfortunately I've had to put that on hold for now since college is taking up all my time and finances. Nevertheless, motorcycle racing will always hold a very special place in my heart and I can't wait to get a degree and get back into it.

What is your hobby?

*Track Day At Spring Mountain Raceway, NV.


*Racing At Willow Springs, CA. - Second


*Racing At Willow Springs, CA. - Third


*Post Race Photo Op, Willow Springs, CA.

Mustangs. Is there really anything else?

Drinking
Drag Racing
Watching Football
Watching Movies
Playing Video Games
(Best Borat impression) Sexy Times

The last one is the only one that doesn't involve just sitting.

Haha. Thanks! I'm sure your hobby doesn't suck.

We started a thread similar to this one on another forum I'm a part of and there were some really great posts. Some shared pictures of their off-roading adventures, some of their snowboarding tricks, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines here as well. Don't be shy.

I'm with Cody on this one. Golf is my game. Been playing since I was 12, but more often in the past five years. My personal best is 74 (39-35) on a par 72. But that was two summers ago when I played twice a week, and I've only played about 10 times in the past year.

Here is a picture pf my recently modified "Mustang" golf cart
