Ron DMC · 23-04-2008 12:13PM

Depends, I obviously think it's cool. Others might find it sad.

workaccount · 23-04-2008 12:17PM

Well at the moment I'm into flying model planes and driving rc nitro cars. Also thinking of getting a kite.

Oh I'm building a go kart during the summer with a motorbike engine.

The go-kart thing is defo cool. The model planes are slightly geeky but some aspects of it are cool like being able to fix and maintain them yourself. I think it will be much cooler when I can fly bigger more powerful planes.....

The RC car is cool because it has a real engine, makes tons of noise and is unreal fast but slightly geeky aswell, maybe?

My hobbies really cool but could be offensive.

ScumLord · 23-04-2008 12:30PM

My hobbies both cool and sad at the same time.

Kewl, where did you get plans for something like that?

my hobbie is the guitar and thats amazingly cool!

funk-you · 23-04-2008 12:45PM

mine is playing guitar and the saxophone, i'd say pretty cool.

chopperbyrne · 23-04-2008 12:48PM

I play competitive Quasar.

You decide?

Sherifu · 23-04-2008 12:51PM

Cool.

ojewriej · 23-04-2008 12:52PM

My favourite hobbies are sleeping with supermodels, driving fast cars and being rich.

They are pretty cool, but I don't really get to do them as often as I'd want to.

stevenmu · 23-04-2008 12:53PM

My hobby is pretty cool for me, but generally very sad for the people I do it to.

Dunno what that is tbh. A quick glance at google only reveals astronomy information.

The name alone is definitely sad though. Sounds like an amstrad game from the 80's.

My mate got plans and books off the internet somewhere. We're clearing a space in my garden to build it and have already sourced all the correct wood etc.

Monitor our progress here.

Fair point, but it's about 8 foot by 20 foot so probably a few (we could certainly use it to transport motorbikes).

At the same time? Wow, that is cool.

I certainly will. What's your timeframe?
Costs involved?

Where's the picture of the projected finished product?

23-04-2008 01:00PM

Not proud of it !

stevenmu · 23-04-2008 01:01PM

hmm, I didn't really think think that one through fully, did I.

Timeframe is to try and get it seaworthy by September (but that probably won't happen).

Costs are fairly significant as the supplies are very specialist, but there's a good few of us involved so we're going to split the cost out between us. Hopefully won't be more than a few grand total.

It's also called Q-Zar.

Quasar = laser tag - i.e. people shooting each other with low-powered lasers. You wear gear that will detect when you are hit etc and it keeps track of everyone's score. Surely you've heard about this? It was all the rage in the 90s :pac:

Overheal · 23-04-2008 02:04PM

I like it. Some aspects are really neat. Others are terribly sad.
