My weakness is 'model fire engines'....I have almost 150, all different,
from all over the world. All on display in two glass cabinets. Often
ridiculed by my 5 daughters, 12 granddaughters and 5 Gt.granddaughters,

Old computers. I have a four car garage full of them....

Motorcycle Racing....its not really a hobby or sporting interest...it is a religion!
