Hello just curious but what kind of sports do A2 drivers /forum members do?
I am three times a week one of the slowest joggers on this planet I go three times a week to a fitness centre where I do RPM and sit in the sauna for the rest I play darts and in my younger years I did Judo boxing handball table tennnis soccer etc.I am also at his moment a yoyo demonstrator I am teaching yoyo tricks to children and long time ago at the age of 12 *(i am 45 now) I was Dutch yoyo champ.
For the rest I am one of the fastest remote control zappers here in the Netherlands as I almost dont miss anything with soccer.
I do not like motorized sports very much but last year I went to the Grand Prix of Belgium in Franchorchamps as I won a prize.
But please all others what kind of sports do you do or do you like lets make this a long thread.[25]

errrrrrrr....I garden, which if done enthusiastically feels like a sport.
Apart from that I am an armchair F1 driver.....

Seriously, I cycle a bit but thats it. As for Grand Prix, we're off to Silverstone this years, courtesy of my in-laws.[23][23]

I run a bit (road, trail & fell) - average about 30 miles per week (10 on road, 20 off). Never saw myself as much of a runner, however have become completely addicated over the last few years. Keep entering crazy races (3 peaks challenge / 10k's / half-full marathons) without really thinking to much about the pain.
Also mountain bike a bit, however not as much as I used too, or still want to. I used to race in the national championships in the early 90's, however wasn't that good. I wasn't too strong over distance - downhill was my thing!!! Got a few top tens in the British Downhill championships before the crazy people got involved.
Apart from that, I try to involve myself in loads of other sports. Not too keen on watching many sports, apart from Rugby and Motorsport (F1 & WRC)

I fly stunt kites in Competitions, used to fly in a Stunt kite Team with three people doing synchronized manouvers.... (see http://www.cloudnine.de)
Now the team split up, and I only fly alone and took a break from competing this year....
Bye, Frido.

Well, I don't do much of anything, apart from walk quickly, always run up stairs, etc. I have played golf in the past, I like kicking a ball around with my boy, but he almost has as good ball control as I have. I have played badminton and used the gym at work a little.
I like watching football at times.
I'm more of a thinker...I do play snooker and pool though.

I was once a competitive swimmer, representing up to and icluding International, and Royal Navy, but that was a long time ago. Before (and including the time ) I was was first diagnosed with big C I was doing 200 lengths of the baths 3 days a week with a county level swimmer, female admitted , but she was 40 years younger than me. I have always been a keen cyclist at recreational level mainly for fitness. Once again before big C I used to do hill walking mainly in Lancashire and Yorkshire dales, but I've only got little legs, so it got hard. Now it's brisk walking with Holly the ****er Spaniel. I really want to get on the bike again, but 30Ks was about all I liked at my last outings with Peter, I was knackered, Peter was fit as a fiddle. Makes you sick! I can still beat him at swimming though!

You must be joking! Fit..not now. I'll start again when the C wears off. Why have all my clothes shrunk, particularly waist bands?

I have the same problem. I'm sure they make clothes smaller these days.

I seem to be able to eat like a horse and not put on weight (not prob'ly what you want to hear), but I'm sure someday I'll do a Nutty Professor and balloon...

Clothes are a problem for me too-M&S are the best-large and X large do what they say on the label. XL in Next (if they even do them) is probably for a 8 stone person.
