Cars (well this is where it got expensive, and where I got my alias, lets see if any can figure that one out)
Porsche 930 fan/owner, perchance?
My main timesinks are boardgaming and swimming. 'Boardgaming' is not hauling out Risk or Monopoly or a deck of cards, but playing designer games constructed by clever German and French blokes, and occasionally the odd Brit or Yank. I have a moderate collection of 180 titles, which is fairly small compared to the big ones comprising over 1500 titles. (And then there are people whose collection is written with five digits, I kid you not.) Swimming is lane training; I'm fairly good at it. My main goal is to achieve 4 km in one hour, that's 160 lanes of 25 m or 80 of 50 m. Currently I'm at 120 / 55-58, so I have
quite a long way to go
.
When I'm done moving house I'll have to see about picking up an old desire: terrainbiking. I'm far too chicken to do downhill stuff like shown
here (bunch of brainless maniacs if you ask me, but I'm jealous from top to toe) but I think I can manage a few measly dunes and wide forest trails found in the surroundings of my new home. The problem is, however, that I'm a big guy, and that finding a bike which will carry my heavy bulk is not going to be easy nor cheap. That's why I'm looking into hybrid bikes which are a cross between an ATB and a normal bike. They are built more ruggedly and have front wheel suspension, but they lack rigidity and frame compactness, making them more suited for longer stretches of uneven, but still passable roads.
I used to read a lot, but I've lost my taste for various genres after realising it's all more of the same, and that truly captivating and intruiging authors are few and far between. Most is the equivalent of junk food, as far as I'm concerned. I still like reading, though, and will happily neglect more important aspects of life---sleeping, working, the SO---finishing a story if it's good enough.
