i was wondering how many lexus drivers play golf
it seems that most of the sporting merchendise is aimed at this market

i think that most of the stuff they have out now is pretty bad tho :geek:
what activities do lexus drivers get up to in their spare time
appart from being on here
vince-com
some others Lexus drivers that I know are practicing fencing ;)

I don't get to relax much (work full time, have a little boy to look after, freelance work in the evenings and LOC as my main hobby!). So main relaxing pursuits tend to be long baths and good books <_<

Apart from that, on the odd occasion (and in the name of work - bonus!), I have been able to do some driving - Honda Pilots, quad bikes and a dodgy attempt at rally driving. Brilliant fun!

Completely off topic wildrnes, but I just saw your website www.salfordboulder.co.uk, 'Salford uni bouldering'. I take it you went to Salford? I only ask 'cause I did.

i like to play golf, can play good just putting is crap. good way to beat stress is to go smash some golf balls at the driving range. dnt get much time to play a hole (get it) game so play 9 holes normally on a nice day.

also love to do martial arts, did kung-fu when i was 7 then started karate when i was 11 got to belt before my black and had to quit on a leg injury in a grading off a copper. i broke his nose and i won the fight though, he had to have surgery on his nose real bad. i only cant kick past my head, can still sweep like a pro though. i was teaching the little kids and teens and some adults karate 2 while i was there.

then turned to boxing and had chance to get boxing licence but work forced me to stop, just ordered a £300 punch bag, should get a speedball soon 2, gonna start home training and train little bro (12yrs old) and junior when he learns to walk(only 10months old now)

part from that just goin out and the regular stuf

In the summer, I fly my kite
In the winter, I ride my snowboard

In between those, I go to the cinema, pub, etc.

BTW: I Hate golf - I hate even more the pompous tw**s that play it badly just so they can say they are golf club members and try to impress their bosses!!!

Pre 2000 restored old cars or built a kit car

As well as the norms such as walking the dogs etc..........

It's a Delta Wing with an 8ft wing span. I'm still learning at the moment so it's good for light to medium wind speeds. I had it up near John O' Groats back in September and it nearly took me to the Orkney Isles by air !! :D

My favourite way of relaxing is spending a nice relaxing evening at my knitting and crochet clubs that I run on a thursday and friday evening. In case you are interested, Ethel and Cyril have just became honourary members and have decided to get married.
On Sundays I go hiking across muddy fields to write down serial numbers of Electricity pylons and admire there natural beauty. Check out [url="http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/bigh/bigh/pylonof.htm"]http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/bigh/bigh/pylonof.htm[/url] for more information.
On saturdays we get together and discuss the future of the rare three stripe Octagonal base Traffic cone.
Just don't have any time for Golf at all.

Did I mention Eddie Stobart spotting? :lol:
