What do you do outside of work as a hobby etc? - What do you fill your spare time with?

[Dave_L]

I know we all work long hours etc - but what do we all do outside of our working lives?

I collect and show antique engines...some call me old before my time but I don’t care!

Here’s a short clip of my favourite engine ticking over - a 1915 Crossley G110 single cylinder engine running on propane (used to run on town gas back in the day) I can’t see any engines of today running so well at 103 years old!

It has a bore of 5� and a stroke of 11� bringing the cubic capacity to nigh-on 3.4 litres in a single cylinder.....but it starts reliably with a spin of the flywheel. I’ve got four other engines, I’ll find some video of them running too.

I like sitting by a lake or river and not catching fish

Enjoy a good walk too!

[lutonlagerlout]
