I can imagine you were waiting for a long time to get a shot like that. I wish I could take photo's even half as good as that. Hey Matt, Nice post and nice Defender mate...Love the colour!!!

A few snaps Nice bike Chris, I used to do my fair share of mountain biking when I actually lived a bit closer to said mountains. Cambridgeshire is a bit lacking on the hill side of things Thats also some pretty serious processor cooling you have going on there. Ive just got the stock intel cooler on my processor. Have also destroyed many a PC in my time As for the colour of the Defender, always wanted a Kawasaki bike, but my mum would kill me if I got one lol. So a Kawasaki green defender certainly fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was the shaking small boat (about 15ft) offshore while making pictures freehand with a 400mm lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mums eh, always blooming right arent they Time is not the problem, as long as you know how to lure them.

The Drums... and of course Gliding! Gerald, thats a nice drum kit I could seriously annoy the neighbours with that I never really got into gliding, I always like to have an engine in front of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like her a lot Nice to hear what other folks like beyond flight simulator. Thats a very nice guitar, I had to sell my guitars, they didnt get used enough. I would like an American V8 muscle car, just unable to justify the cost of running a V8 when petrol is £1.40 a litre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helifan123 200 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Music is my other, big hobby. My keyboard: And my guitar I play since one month: (bad image quality, I know ) If I had enough space in my room, there would be also a drumkit I think. But so, I'm hitting the Toms in the bandroom I play with my mates, sometimes. I'm also the singer in our band, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleD 1027 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I do like guitars, how many is in your collection Kyle? 6 in total. Not shown are- a 4-string Fender Standard Jazz bass, Epiphone AJ (my first guitar), and an Epiphone DR 212 12-string. I have a decent variety right now; in the pic above you'll see my baby on the left, the Martin DM, the Ibanez in the middle is my electric acoustic, and the Epi Les Paul my standard electric. Those, FS, and a nice heavy lager or an IPA are my sure fire get-aways from the RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
