My car (Peugeot 407 SW Estate) back after it had the clutch and dual mass flywheel replaced. It's like driving a new car! John, mechanic, said the one that came out was the worst worn set he'd ever seen... He had to cut some of the bolts out. Eeek! steve

Model railways essentially, plus interest in the real thing. I belong to a society that owns three real 1:1 scale ex-British Rail locos that are hired out to work on the network. Music - listening only as unfortunately I have no musical ability at all, therefore Hi-fi - Equipment as high end as I can afford, with the emphasis on vinyl. Car modelling and cars I owned a Triumph Vitesse Saloon Mk II 2-Litre for 11 years and did a lot of my own maintenance. Modern cars are too complex! Also read a lot, and have what could be called a secondary interest in photography, bird watching, cooking (vegetarian only), aircraft and gardening. Used to play a bit of football (soccer to the US readers) and squash but not for some years. As has been said, it's easy to talk to anyone who models in any genre, as they are usually on the same wavelength. steve
