I think you should go with RC racing. Just buy a cheap 150$ shindig from your hobby shop(make sure it is a good car) and then buy a good shell off Ebay. Then get a better motor...

Here is a decent deal. sounds like they know what they are talking about. Here
 
Firstly thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate it :)

Astronomy: I must say, this has been an interest of mine for a while, but as Mile alluded to, your enjoyment largely resides on the amount of $$ you want to spend. Although, if a 'good' telescope costs say $600, it only takes 8-12 model cars to equal that amount.

RC Cars: That may be dangerous for me, and I will continually want the better and faster parts.

Models: Hmmmm. Something I never really considered before. Sounds like it could be fun, but the problem is I dont have the space to dedicate an area just for model building - which could become a hassle. Also I'm kind of a bozo with anything that requires manual skill and artistry. Wont discard the idea yet tho.

Webdesign: That is an interesting one. I mean it is not like you can run out of things to program, and I could even branch out into pukka programming. My brother is a programmer, so maybe it runs in the blood. *scratchhead*


Stamps/coins: My dad used to collect stamps, but to be honest, i cant say it get my motor running - Still appreciate the thoughts guys ;)

As for getting your website up and running, this is the place that I use, and it's have a fantastic help desk and is rarely ever off line (I think twice in the year I've been with them): http://www.venturesonline.com/hosting/shared.php

These packages are simple and easy, and you can do a pretty good job with just Notepad to program html. In a few months, pick up a simple web authoring program, then in another year, pick up something like Dreamweaver.

What?!? No mention of a fish tank? The senerity and atmosphere they create are fantastic. Oh, that's right, can't here the GT3 engine over the running water. ;)
