Curious here. ALL 914 whackos are detail oriented. Deny it if you want, but you're detail oriented.

Race? Probably more detail oriented than anyone. Ounces=lost time.

CW - nothing else needed to be said.

Restorer? see above.

But......who else has something in life besides Porsche? You do, don't you?

Family? Extremely important. Buddies? very important.

What are your non-Porsche interests?

Classic rock, contemporary rock, baloons, slot cars, ....what?

You DO have other interests, right?

Share them? Pic's are great, too.

Recording studio- sweet! I have a small pro-tools set up, and way too many guitars, and not enough time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


BTW, why are people beating each other up in your studio? Foley work?

School take up alot of my time (mechanical engineering student)

I really love mountain biking and sailing. I really wish I had some good pictures of me flying in my sunfish . . . the boat keel is always at least at a 60 degree angle to the water (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The only one who consistently will ride with me is my girlfriend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I also like woodworking and all forms of construction (though most if a little forced like Chunger's).

I was just mocking up a recording studio for a friend's garage in Sketchup. Construction later this month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Needed some people in the model to get a feel for the space. . . see if it'll actually work. I thought the fighting guys were cool. Guy on the couch is smoking a fatty.

School, I'm studying EE. This takes up a huge amount of time even though I'm still just doing my lower division work.

I also like fooling about with computers and things, I run the site http://www.thextremeresources.com The site used to be much bigger, but the old site died, and the hosting company wouldn't sell us the domain so we had to change it slightly and we've lost like 90% of our members in the transition.

Hopscotch and jump rope.
Kidding!

Anything I can ride in or on; motorcycles, mountain bikes, karts, rollerblades, skiboards, wakeboards, things you pull behind a boat.
I haven't tried horses yet (not sure how to operate the throttle).

Hiking, exploring, playing catch (especially frisbee or football), kite flying (the bigger the better!), disc golf, geocaching (and no, Grant, I'm not a metrosexual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ), swimming, rafting, snorkeling, skydiving, playing drums, working on mechanical things (especially if I can ride/drive them too!), any traditional sport (hockey, tennis, basketball, etc.)

I don't have time (or am in the wrong place for many of my hobbies), but they include diving, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, woodworking, and aquariums. I also enjoy collecting fountain pens.

I really don't get into marksmanship or camping - I've done enough of that at work.
