Other hobbies Pictures!
 

I have been involved in a forum for pinball machine collectors/restorers for several years.

Here is a not so good photo of my gameroom. I do change machines from time to time and have mostly highly collectible titles.

Anyone else here like pinball???

COMMENTS WELCOME!

Wow those are super neat! Aside from automotive hobbies, I recently took up mountain biking for fun and to stay in shape. Despite me being severely novice, it's a blast.:burnrubber:

looks stunning. Always loved the Medival Madness Pinball from Williams. But hard to find a gameroom with any pinballs in there at all nowadays

I do this:

Sweet Pinball setup! I'm a pinball faux-wizard from way back. Its the one thing I can still skunk my three sons at in an arcade, so many quarters, so few free games...

I'm a saltwater aquarist, and collect shoes.

A buddy just bought a mint looking Medieval Madness for $12.5K I draw the line with that excess. The game was under $4K new in '97.

OnkelC - I love that nixie-tube clock. Have been thinking about building one from a kit. Apparently there are tons of them still around from pre-cold war USSR.

Yeah but how many pinball machines are voiced by Tina Fey? I wouldn't pay that much but I would love to have one.

I use to race, racebike was a yamaha FZR400, streetbike GSRX600
but now into off-roading:

:eyebulge: MORE offroading pictures!

yup, it's a beauty :) only two of this particular model were made in total.

These are some sweet shots!!!

Well I am now going to search for the biggest nixie tubes I can find for a really cool wall clock for my gameroom.

In India? Good luck finding pinball machines to play in your country! They are difficult to find in the US, Canada and Europe in public locations as demand for commecial coin operated entertainment is low these days and not a good business venture. They are mostly in the homes of people with disposable cash these days. At $5000-$8500 US brand new they are definitely a luxury item. I have enough value in machines to easily pay for my FR-S. I fact I considered selling then to fund the purchase before I decided to go into debt :eyebulge:

Nice collection of pinball machines, that's pretty awesome.

Now I'm hungry after seeing all those yummy looking pictures, lol!


I have several hobbies aside from cars, I've been into video games and gaming in general since I was a kid for one thing.

Another one is building computers, though I haven't built any in a while here are two I made.

This one I designed and built the case myself out of oak, the CPU and video card are water cooled.

This is the car computer I had in my Dodge Magnum, full windows computer with a touch screen monitor in the dash for music and GPS nav.

And my main hobby and passion right now is making cosplay outfits to wear at anime/comic con :)

Hanzo, I didn't need that bro.

Now I'm crazy hungry :drool:

Paella!

Maybe I should host a pinball/drive meet? I have hosted for the Toronto Pinball League (yes, there is one) on several occasions.

Hey Shizuma, now I know it's cool to be nerdy.

Awesome! I'd have to slowly get back into photography since with a 50mm and crop makes it pretty damn hard to shoot a shot while sitting. Lol Great photos though!

Wow that's really badass! I love when people use SUV's properly. Beautiful nature shots too.

So many hobbies, so little time...
 

Well lets see, I do some woodworking...

http://www.hodges.info/FRS/Bookcases.JPG

and I enjoy aviation stuff such as simulations....

http://www.hodges.info/FRS/Aerobatics02.bmp

Oh, and I have been known to enjoy "adventuring" on occasion...

Okay so far this whole thread is just flat out awesome.

The pinball stuff looks pretty interesting to collect and man there's so much food up in here that I'm starting to get hungry again. And brewing your own beer is always a good hobby in my book, off roading too, wood work is skill I'd like to learn as well, and its nice to see someone is into cosplay in this forum.

Let's keep this going.

I actually like that enough to put in my office. :thumbsup:




This is the only thing I have on my computer at the moment, so here's a little taste of one my hobby's/obsessions for :bonk:...

I have no idea who you're dressed up as :bonk: I guess I'm not as up to date as I was on this comic stuff lol.

Wow those look DS... are you flipping any of those? or anything else?

Nope, the XI's will always stay with me as long as they can.

And I don't normally flip any of my purchases unless I'm helping out someone. I am I'm into trading though if I couldn't get a hold a certain shoe though.

Most of my summers are spent at various county fairs throughout the state of Indiana as I'm an official for a promotion company. We put on demolition derby's. I compete in them as well (not ours) when I'm not working one.

Car for this year and getting ready to pick up a 97 mustang in a few weeks.

Bloody hell wall of quoted photos. :mad0260:




My hobby/interests are fish, specifically freshwater. I used to own fish tanks with guppies and went fishing at least a dozen times a year. Now I'm back to my pre-driving years where I'll go 2-3 times a year.

All I've got is some blurry pics. But I did manage to score some rainbow trout last winter.

We caught about a half dozen of these in 40* weather. Beautiful day though.
