Lots of science fiction, (thatās how I learned english). Lots of history (interesting to see how humankind repeats the same stupid mistakes), but read basically anything that I find. Also love movies and tv shows (I have thousands, all original DVD and Blu-ray). Fishing (live in an island). Travelling and lots of other stuff. I work six months in the summer 7 days, 12 hours a day. But I am off the full six months off season so I have lots of timeā¦

Lol yeah I mentioned reading. I like studying history and reading mythology, philosophy, as well as novels.
I read financial books, or used to alot. Now I read what catches my attention, and programming.
I also mess with micro controllers etc. I have a lot of hobbies really, I normally rotate them. I get have in to flying RC then I wonāt for like a year.
Disc golf is something I do pretty constantly. The 9year old is a sponsored player so I try to make sure he goes out to practice a few times a week, weather permitting.
Also played table games Warhammer 40k, infinity and other one that slips my mind.
Also owned a car audio and performance shop, so I do that for fun now, and a few close customers.
Basically if itās mechanical it interest me

Sooo much science fiction, years agoā¦Dragonlance and Star Wars for 20+ years. Tolkien, James Paterson, and there was a guy that wrote a ton of alternate history stuff, lastly all the Zombie, and Apocalyptic novels i could get my hands on. A tiny bit of engineering to help with car stereo installs, and lots of self taught hands on skills like woodworking, home repair stuff etcā¦Never considered those hobbies, thatās just personal growth and peaceful enjoyment.

There is an excellent post apocalyptic trilogy that I read a few years ago. Itās called Silo. Highly recommended. I personally started with Asimov and Arthur C. Clark in the 80ās and then lots of different stuff. Specially space opera.

So being British and a petrol head I guess you loved Topgear. I loved it. What do you think of the Grand Tour?. A bit if a disappointment for meā¦
Actually, I have long been out of the topic and also not a big TV junky.
But some episodes were fun:
I only drove Renauld 5 Cup myself at a young age for about 4 years.
Expensive hobby if you are only mediocre and therefore get only a few sponsors.
The whole thing looked something like this:
