FocusCanada Forums

outside of the forum what does everyone like to do? i myself am a hardcore paintball addict, if anyone plays let me know. i'd be so down for like a big game thing with everyone from here.

Paintball eh? I'm trying to get back into it. I've got a 32 Degrees Rebel BTB electronic with a Tiller 16" barrel and a custom volumizer and a Spyder Imagine electronic with a 16" X-Cel barrel.

Otherwise, I do N-scale model railroading, I build custom computers, I'm an amateur photographer and railfan... plus all the usual sports suspects - ball hockey, soccer, play men's rec hockey and coach minor hockey, biking / blading, etc.

Well, as far as paintballing, i have been once, had a blast and would jump at the chance to go again.

as far as my other hobbies, music, tabletop miniature gaming and computers.

I used to play paintball quite a bit.. Tippmann 98 Custom w/ a bunch of goodies. Got to be way too expensive buying paint, so I gave up and sold everything I owned.

I stick with just the Model Railroading when I have money.

Nos - i'll have to scan all my railfanning photos.. I have a few hundred of them from when I lived down in Pittsburgh (amazing locations there).

Well now that i'm done school and have time for hobbies again, i'm in a softball league and a ball hockey league.

Aside from the obvious working on my focus, i'm also into building computers, electronics stuff(kinda goes with the job).

I used to be heavily involved in building/repairing/modding computers, now my apprenticeship takes up all my time... which is fine by me. So basically the closest thing to a hobby for me would be detailing cars, eating wings, and driving. :lol: Sad, I know... but it should only get better in time. :D

Building/Repairing/Modding computers seems like a trend so far.. I've been doing that since I was about 14/15..

I'm also a freelance photographer..

And I'm trying to get into - instead of paintballing - airsoft fighting.. They hurt more and seem to go further/straighter.. Looks like alot more fun - at least that way you know you've been hit ;). Anyone in for some CO2 powered metal bullet wars? :D

Electronics circuit design, and just building stupid things out of electronics. From conception to production (PCB and casing) , metal work, wood work, and DRINKING.

I concider my car/history/movies my 3 big hobbies.

Car modding , driving around town , computer , playstation , and watching speed and comedy network ! lol dont know many people around town.

Model aviation, of pretty much any form you can imagine. Check out the "show your garage thread" to get an idea of what I mean.

Some of the modeling clubs I belong to:
- Balsa Beavers: http://www.balsabeavers.ca
- Central Ontario Glider Group: http://www.cogg.ca/home.htm (my pic is currently on the front page)
- Electric Model Flyers of Southern Ontario: http://www.emfso.org
- Toronto Electric Model Aviation Club: http://www.temac.ca

And you think modding cars is expensive...

Besides modifying my focus, I keep tropical fish (Amazon) and African Cichlids. I play electric guitar. I am into the stars and take a 4.5inch telescope with me on every camping trip I go on. I sew. I am a big home theater fan.

I am a HUGH gamer, Xbox, Xbox Live forever! Actually that reminds me does anyone out there game on Xbox Live? If you do what is your gamer tag? Because I just know you are sweating over Forza Motorsports 2 as am I. When it comes out I will be taking two days off work to start racing and modifying my virtual Focus SVT. It would be so cool to get a bunch of us Canadian Focus owners together all in our virtual focus's racing together. Just incase someone on here does not know what Forza Motorsport 2 is. Forza Motorsport 2 will when it is released be the greatest most accurate computer racing simulation ever conceived for the pubic, period. They have tested on over 25 pro race drivers and have had 5 ex pro drivers working with them for over two years to perfect the dynamics.
