About this user

I'm kind of a "jack of all interests"? I like lots of different things. I like car rallying and even do road rallies both as a driver and as a navigator. Perhaps one day (if I win the lottery or something), I'll have enough money to move into performance rally - the stuff you see on TV. The Dodge Aries was supposed to become the "Rally K-Car". A K-car is very similar to a Dodge Shadow, which has been used as rally cars before. Youtube channel rallycsx is an excellent build up.

I also like trains. At a young age I wanted to be a locomotive engineer ("train driver") for a passenger train. To me, the responsibility of carrying passengers safely makes the position more prestigious (IMO) compared to an engineer for a freight train. Even if freight pays more, I'd rather drive passenger trains. My dream job would be driving The Canadian. Unfortunately the cards didn't fall into place, there were no employment opportunities in Ottawa (I couldn't afford to move), and I didn't want to be a navvie repairing rail ties. Airline pilots don't become pilots by repairing runway lights. Yeah I'm a little bitter about that... I ended up settling on becoming an automotive technician.. ..yeah mechanic. It pays the bills but isn't what I really want to DO. But it was in highschool autoshop class that I was introduced to rally and turbo dodges.

I have a few other interests, as I think of them I'll post them up here. I have a Hammond and Leslie, I love Deep Purple and other music with the heavy Hammond sound. I also like JS Bach and would like to be able to play a few of his big organ pieces!
