Default RE: What else/other hobbies

I've always been involved in something at all times.......most have come and gone except bowhunting. I used to fish and specifically fly fish a LOT when I was younger. Growing up in Vermont in the middle of nowhere that was all there really was to do in the summers. I actually attended a summer program at the Orvis headquarters in Manchester one summer. This is something I've really gotten out of, however when I really feel I've accomplished what I can with 3D archery, I can see my summers being spent fishing again. Lisa really enjoys to fish too so it's something I think we can do together and really enjoy a lot, I'd like to get a boat once we are settled into a house.

I've also always been big into cars, grew up around american muscle cars and also been heavily into turbo cars as well. I actually built a nearly 400whp 1.8l turbo volkswagen powered by a 57 trim turbo that trapped at 118mph in the quarter mile, this was a car that made 130whp bone stock when I bought it brand new. I put in several hundred passes at the strip in this car and did a LOT of stupid stuff in it before I realized I was probably going to kill myself or someone else, and that I at one point had enough wrapped up into it to buy a small house. It was a horrible way to be spending money, but was tons of fun while it lasted. I'll probably have another project car again some day but not until I have a house payed for and a garage to put it in.

A few pics of my old project car........it was quite the sleeper except for that front plate.....[8D]. Matt might actually recognize this car, as I believe this is what I was driving when I lived in South Hampton @ Waterford.
