Sadly most of hobbies are wind related.

Stunt kites
Landyachting
Sailing all kinds of different boats from yachts to dinghies (but mostly cats)

Have build/am building stuff in all three categories as well. However, I still have to arrange for a new sewing machine and finish that "matras" type stunt kite I had started on a while ago.


Other hobbies I do very regulary (daily/weekly):

Squash
Cycling
Reading up on history and (international) politics (do that alot actually)
Art-house movie cinema (I was a volunteer for many years in this field, still my best friends there)

I'm currently trying to get back into kayaking recently, some coastal trips and playing in the surf. Not much white water in my flat homeland.

Aaaaah; I forgot about my Stunt Kites. Still have 5 somewhere in the garage....

Ahh yes, good old Darius! That car is totally different now. It retains the procharged LT1 but it's really alot cooler now than it was in that video. Darius's video has led alot of people in the v8 direction, including myself. I am very pleased with all my Volquartsen components, but most of them are trigger related. I still had to do some deep jewel work to get it perfect though. I really want to build a 10/22 to start shooting silhouette tournament's. If you have any 10/22 suggestions let me know via PM. Also if your interested i can pm you the links to Darius's build threads.
It sounds like we have a lot in common!

Visiting high places to feel alive

(from the summit of the Eiger)

Piddling with all things mechanical - latest project - souping up my 2 stroke 50cc scooter (one seized 70cc top end and a worn variator so far). This afternoon I put in a remote start on my wife's car. Tomorrow brings a little RV maintenance.

Is it a Zuma by chance? I've owned two, both of which were modded. 70cc kit, pipe, carb, varator, speed clutch. Scooters are the best! There were a bunch of us who had them a few years ago. Downtown Minneapolis the Police didn't bother us once. It's nice to go to an area where the law enforcement have better things to do than pick on kids with scooters.

The two most important things are the speed clutch, (an adjustable cintrifugal clutch and the varator) These things don't have much power and that is the key to keeping it in the powerband and using what little power you have all the time. Mine would get up to almost 60mph. The kid I sold mine too got 63mph out of it. But he was more abusive than I was, I don't like holding a 2-stroke WOT for as long as it would've taken to get it going that fast.

Sitting on lifts to take me to the top of the Alpes then letting gravity do the rest!!
