Hobbies and/or profession?
Turbo Mini Forums

Eyup.
Another forum I frequent did this a while ago, and it went from just a basic thread about people's hobbies (outside of minis in this instance) and became a bit of a list to look through for people that might be able to help with other projects etc etc.
I just wondered if people on here might be up for letting people in on what they do for fun outside of fixing daft little cars, and maybe what they do for work.

I'm a tractor mechanic/ agricultural engineer. So if any of you lot are farmers...

Well, I've been an apprentice electrician, a builders labourer mostly building conservatories, am now currently doing car valeting. My other hobbies include mucking around with pushbikes, gaming, rc cars, plastic scale models

Apprentice mechanical engineer. Although its not quite what i would class as an engineer more a technician perhaps. A machinist.

My hobbies as many young fellas, playing a lot of video games, going out on the town.

Although my other hobby is quite closely linked to my work. I like making things.

Current project is a CNC router 4x4x2 4 axis with a rotary 5th. Now most of this relates back to the mini.

Ill be making bucks for casting and molding with it such as body panels. Ill also be using it for grinding cylinder heads.

I'm a qualified electrician & run my own business doing cylinder heads etc

I like romantic meals for two, discussing Massey Fergusons- GSOH, bubbly...

I have been a professional member of Her Majestys Armed Forces for 12 years with another 12 to do, and have served in many countries around the world and earnt my medals. This has led to a life of binge drinking, a bad back, knees of a pensioner and shit tattoos. I do however have some fun, like climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, Drinking, eating and Drinking some more! So remember the moral of the story, which is: Stay at school and don't end up like me, as it really isn't like Call of Duty!!!!!!!

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Up until 8 months ago I was a service engineer driving miles everyday. I'm now mainly building engines for Bugatti gp cars, running them, on the dyno and general tool making duties machining castings and fabricating components.

My mrs can't understand why I'm desperate to go and work on my mini, when I've spent the whole day working on cars. Lol
