I also like listening to 60s music....
and country music.....
well I live less than 100kms from the Country Music Capital

VWs didn't start as a hobby.....
more as a means of transport back in 1968....
they develop into a hobby....
I have 12 different workshop manuals for 68 Beetle....
plus heaps of other VW books bought via Amazon.com...

I'll show You a pic of My antennas on My 50 ft high tower....
sorry no dead fish.... :P:P

pete wood ·

music and bike riding, although the latter is more about trying not to get too fat, and I write a bit too.

68AutoBug ·

Hi Bugbrained,

Surfing - although at the risk of sounding cliche, its more a way of life than a hobby.

veedubs and surfing - they take up pretty much all my time and money, can't afford any more hobbies!😵

The hotter the better

evoj ·

Hi,

Just new on here and I thought I'd pipe up with my other hobbies, besides VWs' and mine are surfing(the net) for info I need for my car, painting, and yelling my lungs out at my boys soccor matches, which I consider to be physical activity(not the boys on the field) but me on the sideline!!!

bugbrained ·

good one evoy great watching the kids be kids .
hey bond lmaoooo how do you type all tied up like that :o

Anthiron ·

yeah i got into it when i was 12. had them all stashed away with forgotten years of stuff and then a couple of months ago whipped them out and decided to spend lots of money on them again lol. they arent cheap...tell your kids to get out whille they can.

HA! You wish!
Actually, now that you mention jelly wrestling... I do like getting dirty (in the non-sick kinda way). Anything from conreting to crawling around in spider-infested ceilings to working on the kombi to tiling to building walls to pulling walls down.... you name it! I've probably done it.
But having said that, music and go karting are my two main hobbies at the moment.

Starbug ·

apart from vw's... i have an extremely serious traditional photography/darkroom hobby ( www.flickr.com/photos/asterope/ ) i also collect retro furniture/kitchenware/fabric and once ive got enough money, i'll be buying a road bike and one of these:

so i'll have all my cycling whims taken care of.

The VW has taken a back-seat to my other hobbies atm (the bug being 100kms away doesnt help much)

Starbug ·

crewcabconnection: That is the coolest!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

squizy ·

I'm with you Barry. Cooking is my next fave hobby. Get lots of practice doing it every day. Also love 80's music, retro clothes, and retro antiques and furniture. I have my wife to thank for the last one. Here's a pic of one of our pieces. Also got some flying ducks that my Mum gave us.

pete wood ·

Anthiron ·

im a barman also but not sure if id call that a hobby. i had people ring up yeserday to make sure i was the barman on that nite before they came down for cocktails😁

PrettyBlueBug ·

Well apart from my Bug and another Dub on the way I'm into photography, music (listening to and going to live), piercing body parts (no tattoos as yet)😂 and I have my bf to thank for getting me addicted to World of Warcraft! Hahaha :P

I am right into car rallying too (Dad is a well known co-driver) except I have to yell at the scenery too often, so until I have my own car to drive it's the sidelines for me currently... but I love all forms of motorsport.

I used to love mountain bike riding too until I had to sell my wicked bike.... one day I'll get another one and tear down Thredbo trails! 😉

68AutoBug ·

I forgot I did some Car Rallying in a Mitsubishi Galant...
around Newcastle many years ago...
It was an early model with later model suspension & engine....
I was always in the centre of the field...
My normal driving car was a 71 type 3 variant....
which had curtains in the back to keep the sun off the kids in the summer....

Apple 2C .. I had forgotten they even existed .....
I had one for many years.... had hundreds of discs too...
Gave the computer away... and the discs....
I used to print My xmas & birthday cards then...
Now I just email them... :P:P:P

sinecure ·

For me, online clan gaming, computer hardware failure threshold evaluation (overclocking), LED lighting kits (bike and car), Radio Control cars, wood and metal work, troubleshooting and customised solutions to mechanical problems, quantum physics, linear magnetic accelerators and rail guns (built my first LMA early last year but the wife made me stop after I punched a hole through the garage wall and the neighbours fence).

Oh, and anything with an engine.

HotRodMatt ·

I usually get to combine my other two endeavours...



pete wood ·

That rod chassis is a nice bit of Fab work. Is it from scratch or based on an original?

Love the flathead jammed way back in it. Should handle a treat.👍

It's original back to the kick up.

Engine is all the way back because it is for a HAMBster (see the Drag Racing forum).

Schmoburger ·

Other hobbies... I collect old Apple computer equipment... and a few other antique microcomputers such as the BBC Acorn, C64 and whatever, and vintage audio equipment such as tube radios, turntables, amps etc...

You could say I am a nerd! 🤓

I'm fond of old british cars too... particularly minis and old Morris Commercials... but unfortunately I dont have any right now (altho I found a nice Morris J2 at a wrecker that I wouldnt mind getting my hands on 👍).

I'm fairly new to the world of VeeDubs, but I'm actually having a ball building my 61 Baja. Can't wait to actually drive it! I get to race my radio controlled Baja every Friday nite tho!
Other than that I'm usually working on my Mazda RX7, or my Mazda minitruck. I love downhill mountain bikes, music and I used to draw a fair bit.
I have a fairly big Die-cast Car collection too. a few Volkswagens, and Mazdas, and DUB models.
And I'm into body piercing and tattoo's :bounce

Lurve the B&W pics....actually they all look good!!! Especially the ones of you😘o
No real hobby as such apart from VW's but i like to collect "gadgets" and electronics....have a nice record/gramaphone collection from the 1900's but have not played them (about 120 odd) they probably sound like crap.Looking after kids takes up any time i would have had spare....

Desert Bug ·

G'day,

Other than VWs (which has taken up most of my hobby time for 40+ years), I like building stuff from other peoples rubbish, and have built a couple of one-off custom 4x4s.
I like the challange of proven people wrong when they say "it can't be done", gives me a great deal of satisfaction.
Will scan in some pics when the scanner is going again.

Cheers, Ian.

fekkinell... you've been on my deviantwatch list for ages now 😀 im on deviantart too, but nowhere near as extensively as i am on flickr. ive been playing around alot with different developers and emulsions lately... cant wait till exams are over and i can make some real silver prints!!

decked dubby: sweet!! another ericofon collector!! atm i have 1 that i picked up for $10 at a garage sale... hopefully one day i will find a red one for $10... but more likely $150 🙁

good to see a few mountain bikers around 😀 i havent cycled much for the past 5 months, and im feeling icky... best be getting off my bum and buying a new bike! maybe us brisbane mountain biking dubbers can have a little bush bash on the bikes one day?

yeah, for sure... its awesome stuff hey?.... thats one of the main reasons I came back to Melbourne... I've competed in a few seasons with impro Melbourne, but the Belvoir street crew in Sydney were cliquey and a bit snooty....so its great to be straight back into rehearsals tonight, for shows coming up in a couple of weeks.... gonna have to get some solid adult diapers.... I'm rusty as .... you in Camden?... the only thing I could suggest, is check out the Actors centre in Surry Hills...they do some good solid improv classes there, once a week....drop ins, so you can go whenever

if ya make it down here though, you're on mate!

way cool, Im getting the vintage boards as well, nothing quite likee them to ride. learnt to surf on a 6'4" Ram twinny (MR replica) and i am currently the proud owner of a 5'10" '78/'79 Carabine single which is an insane weapon in fast breaks like Snapper and a '60's Rob Teys (woolseley?) 8'ish convex bottomed beast/pig board which is like nothing else on this planet to ride.

Hi

I was scout leader, I followed my son from cubs to scouts. I made a lot of very good freinds with parents and kids. I taught one my older scouts how to drive, got his liscense 1st go. I retired this year when my son went to venturers, I feel i needed to give him some space.

I also edit the Club Vee Dub Sydney magazine and also look after the clubs website.

So Im doing lots of house stuff now, then I can get back to the Beetles.

Other hobbies outside of dubs? Heaps.

-Hanging with friends
-Definitely guitar
-Writing/analysing music
-Cruising
-Boating/fishing
-Exploration (IE: traveling, day/night tripping)
-Going with mates into a local music store and put our grubby skin all over their merchandise and jamming Hehe
-Uni has to be one, but that has no choice but to be a hobby, cause if i don't get it done, i'm screwed. Sad, but tru.
-Hanging with my mates family in buccan, has become a local occurance, so much to do there 😀 (got an engine swap on a celica happenin soon ), + watch alot of old movies, play pool on their table, swim in their pool, jam, hoon in acreage. Tis great.

Doug Sweetman ·

Well, hobbies.... umm...... I'm married, have a 19weeks old son and a mortgage..... whats a hobby again ?

Just kidding 🙂

My current faves (in no particular order);

1). Trying to make my son giggle (sounds so soppy, but all new dads will agree with me)
2). Reading - Robert Jordan is my main right now, but anything from DaVinci code to war histories and all forms of Fantasy
3). EV Cars - my old man and I entered our first (he has done 3 with his school kids, and we thought it sounded like fun) last year, came 3rd in classs. They are basically electric go karts built for a 1 hour endurance race, organised by Murdoch Uni.
4). Our two Jack Russel dogs (8 & 6 yrs old)
5). My rose garden......
6). I play hockey (Metro 3D's for Fremantle).
7). GKR Karate
8). Red wine, port and dessert wines 🙂 Bring on the botrytis baby 🙂

I have plenty of stuff that I'd like to do..... but there never seems to be time / money. I shot competitive Air Rifle for 5 or 6 years thru high school and Uni, have given that up, no time now.

I cant believe, that out of all of us, there is only one person will admit to playing WoW !!!!! Surely there are more..... I played for a few months up until Bryson was born, then gave it up, but want to get back into it. My old man and both brothers are mad keen.
