What is your OTHER passion?


Now we are all passionate about quality audio, right? But next to audio, what interests us? (No sexual exploits, please, I'm getting old).
Mine is motorsports...especially CART, F1, and just about anything with a motor that hums! Rebuilding a 2-stroke is a joy that I crave. Used to race karts...thereby comes my moniker. Favourite drivers: Paul Tracy, Scott Pruett, Mario, Montoya, and the oldies such as Malcolm Cambell, Rudy Carraciola (German), and many others who lived such romantic racing lives. My one desire is to go to Indy...got to wait for the boy to gain a few years.

B&W photography, cooking, playing multiplayer Descent3 (don't take that one too serious).
Jmcgrogan2, I'm not retired, a lot of my interests are seasonal. Never a dull moment!

Stereokarter, what does Albert prefer to consume?
Scuba diving is numero uno, way beyond my passion for music and high-end systems. If I lived near the ocean, I doubt that I would own a high-end system. Wouldn't need it, because I would always be in the ocean. I am also an amatuer underwater photographer and videographer. I do the recreational vehicle thing with motorcycles, jet skis, and snowmobiles. My most vivid memory was diving in the warm, clear blue waters of the Caribbean on Sunday, flying back to Colorado on Tuesday, and snowmobiling to the top of a snow-covered, windswept mountain range in the Rockies on Wednesday. It makes you realize how small the world has become, and how diverse it's beauty is. I love music and reproducing it with high-end electronics, but there is too much more to life to make it my religion. Am I committing Audiogon suicide by saying this?
