I tend to get rather easily distracted, and flit between interests on an almost daily basis...

There is a word for that......  "female" :p

in old world terms.. a Flibbertigibbet !

Amiga should be priority, but I understand how other interests can be just as rewarding and time consuming, RC aeroplanes and helicopters share my hobby resources.

Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example  :lol:

Completely off topic:
Congrats! Thats actually damn good score. Had two of those Pioneer subs in a CRX.  Now trying out the Sundown Audio brand and see where it takes me.  What amp(s) did you have? and was the score a legal score? (termlab on the passenger side, doors/windows closed)

Mine!  :-D

yeah, dB drag legal, street stock class.

sensor on the dash, car sealed up.

amp is a ReSponse 1500watt (only ever sold in Australia)... really wasn't expecting 146.6dB, plus its a 40Hz... was the loudest on the day, at the lowest frequency, in the lowest class... :p

Here's my other Hobby:

http://users.adam.com.au/djorlc/3rd_HT_Today_a.html

I need to update the pic's tho since getting the Massive cabinet (I designed it in Sketchup and had my local furniture maker build it) - only problem with this hobby is the expense and since my little daughter came along 13 months ago, I havent had the money to feed my upgraditis. :D

Have a Tamiya original Frog, partial restore at this point. electronic speed controller FUTABA MC330CR, boomerang wheels all round etc etc, Also have a Tamiya plasma edge low end buggy.

Have had the frog since I was a kid.

Home theatre, have a PIONEER HTZ818BD. Not high end but does the job. For a TV have a 47" Philips LCD, downside it's not 3D but can't afford to upgrade anymore.

Also love cars, although don't have the money really. Have a 2002 Nissan Stagea Axis Autech silver :-)

Collect records, also collect PC hardware. I like to save computer gear, if anyone wants anything PC let me know.

Hoping to start another new hobby and learn to play the drums but and also want a pool table but all wishes due to my current situation.

Still need to get around to buying a house but here in New Zealand prices are extreme so another dream :-)

Plenty of silver monitors from back in the day, dont know if thats much better. Got my old LG at my sisters house on there PC. 4:3 with a low native resolution, should match well. All though it is 19'' which will probobly still make games look a bit chunky.

Sold my miggy before I got in to modding cars, you would probably like our SP20 sitting in the shed. Now how can I fit my L34 into it? I also still have one RC car (a Hornet) and a Chopper:)
