This my Ferguson tef 20 diesel commonly known as a grey fergie, first registered 2nd December 1955 I fully restored it about 5 years ago and spent nearly 2k on it getting it to the standard it is today,

RE: Other hobbies? - Toms306 - 22-06-2015
I'm still looking for a hobby... Thought I'd have found one by 23.
Tractor is pretty cool though. Found myself looking around a couple of classic tractors at a car show at the weekend...they were leaking diesel everywhere after shutoff.
RE: Other hobbies? - mikey b - 22-06-2015

RE: Other hobbies? - Orta - 22-06-2015
I like to travel, American football (been to Wembley to see every single game they e brought over and play when I can!), Xbox as well as older sega consoles (still have everything from master system thru to dreamcast including sum rare stuff), I like old skool wwF wrestling from the 90s, building things, diy, shooting (shotgun and clay pigeons never rabbits!) and... The doc and my guilty love of TV boxsets
RE: Other hobbies? - ozpug - 23-06-2015
I'm into anything bicycle related. Love downhill and BMX type riding but I'm probably going to retire to XC soon. I'm also a much better push bike mechanic than car mechanic. Photography is probably my other major hobby.

Good effort.
I've got:
2 Master systems (Alex the kid and sonic) I still have the original box for the sonic one which is immaculate, and shit loads of games
Snes
Atari
Saturn
Dreamcast
PS1
PS2
Never use them though, in fact they're sat in boxes.

My hobbies are very varied and wide ranging

It's a h470 water cooled one very rare I had a mag feature for it in tractor and machinery a while back it will go anywhere fun little thing but the db gets the most work
RE: Other hobbies? - Chris306 - 23-06-2015
Race Motocross, mess with a little enduro, little bit of clay shooting with occasional game shoot around christmas depending on finances of course as game shoots can very easily become very expensive hahaha

RE: Other hobbies? - gazthegnome - 27-06-2015
into vintage scooters but not done owt for a while got fed up with people asking me to take a look at there's then the piss taking started and i was not even getting near my own stuff so told people i will look but you will pay. That cut out the wankers who were taking advantage of my generosity.
RE: Other hobbies? - John1.4 - 27-06-2015
lets see, it's quite a list for me... Cars, model trains, Mountain biking, Rock climbing, Pies, Lego Technic + custom models, literature, Distance running, Fishing, Theatre (production / performing / set and prop building)
there are probably more, but here's my porsche...lol

I just sold my All mountain bike. 2006 Specialized Enduro, Fox 36's, Dhx air 5, Shimano deore brakes. I'll attach a photo when I find one. I used to have an old clunker DBR road bike but it got stolen. I've only got a BMX at the moment. I've had GTs, Cannondales and Norcos as well.

So i bought this a few months back. Used to love riding about 6 years ago but lost touch a bit and thought it was time to get back into it (mainly to loose some weight!).
![[Image: IMG_3448_zpscb4ihxj5.jpg]](http://s290.photobucket.com/user/niallharper/media/IMG_3448_zpscb4ihxj5.jpg.html)
2007 Specialised stunt jumper FSR Expert. For an old bike, its in an immaculate condition (in fact I'm pretty sure the guy i bought it from just didnt use it!). Had just had both forks and rear shock serviced by Mojo before i got it and has a few nice little upgrades mainly the Hope V2 brakes. Wasn't overly impressed with them tbh to start with but after bleeding them a few times they are on form now. Still want to sell them and replace with a set of purple E4s though just because I'm a tart
RE: Other hobbies? - C2K - 28-06-2015
I seem to be the only one with a road bike then! Only photo i seem to have of it, the day I collected it:
![[Image: specialized.jpg]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4147571/specialized.jpg)
I bought this new last year as a present to myself, after 2 years away on business. Specialized Tarmac Elite full carbon.
Love it, so effortless to ride quickly on it. Recently did 250 miles in 8 days when the mrs was away on holiday, in order to shed a bit of weight quickly before the wedding. I have my old MTB that i've had for about 15 years lol, no suspension and running commuter tyres it's the work commuter slag!
I also love to travel. Have been lucky enough to go many places with work, which kind of spurred me on to go more places with my own time/money.

Nice ride, my only advice would be get a shorter stem, will change the feel of the ride.
Totally with you on the never getting out on it though.
RE: Other hobbies? - Niall - 28-06-2015
Oh i will be. Few things i want to do with it but it all takes time. First thing i need is a new rear wheel as the bearings are going and tbh, i want a purple Pro 2 lol
RE: Other hobbies? - THE_Liam - 03-07-2015
I'm a rugby league fan, player and coach. Got a season ticket for Leeds Rhinos and try to get to as many away games as I can as well, I play for my local pub team at second row or hooker, and I coach an under 15s team at a local amateur club. Leeds v St Helens at home tonight
Also, I play guitar badly, and I love being out in the country so I've bought a caravan to do more of that.
