There are members from all over the world on this forum.
What interests/hobbies do you guys have either than your car?

In the winter I am huge in to snowboarding although my province is completely flat, me and my buddies still make it happen.
This year me and my buddies in a crew called Nexgen made a video, and are trying to get our names out there, and hopefully go somwhere with snowboarding eventually.

Here's a link to our facebook page with our first video "What's Next?" and other clips from the season.

That's what I'm into, now what are your guys's interests?

I'm a senior software engineer for a large bank. I'm on a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off after hours support roster for the core transactional system which has a throughput of billions of dollars every night. Needless to say, I've had to do the occassional all nighter when things go wrong, and every now and again, they do.

I practice and teach Yoga, which I know does not seem like a great match for being a car enthusiast, but I'm not one for stereo-types and I'm probably not a typical Yoga teacher either, but I've been doing and teaching for years and have a loyal following of participants so must be doing something right. Before Yoga was a serious competitive runner, held provincial titles such as 5000 and 10,000 track titles (sub 15 minute runner for 5K).

I like PC and xbox gaming but over the last couple of years have not been into it as much as I used to, finally starting to grow old and boring I guess. I also like building PC's -always do my own upgrades and tend to just buy second hand previous generation components that were regarded top of the line in their day (eg e8600 and qx9770) -I overclock all my systems to get maximum value out of them. I Also enjoy home theatre and have a 54 inch plasma and 7.1 sourround sound system.

I'm into just about any type of music but have a special place in my heart for NIN and really don't like Country music at all lol

Oh yeah, and to futher break the stereo types of have two pet Minilop rabbits and 5 budgies and have quite a few years of experience in two styles of martial arts (Okinawa Te and Taekwondo)
