    Crawl back into my hole of audio gear, which I left for watches...

    Yes ::psy:: and lose my hearing. At least I don't lose my wrist wearing watches too much!

    In all seriously though I lost too much money doing audio. Watches was the first time where I could more or less sell back for the same. It was a real eye-opener for me...(especially for us Asians with slit-eyes)

    Fun fact, I don't own a phone. So before I was into watches, I didn't have one on me :eek: so I had to rely on wall clocks on public places to check what time it is.

    I'd spend my spare time and cash modifying my Volvo to 600+ hp (440hp at the moment).
    But, that might happen eventually anyway one day :)
    Runs 275 km/h on 1 mile, 0-200 km/h at 14 sec, top speed 280 km/h (but can do 300 km/h if rev limiter is higher).
    Some info:

    The fastest Volvo T4 (4cyl/1.9L engine) is in Finland and runs 339 km/h on 1 mile standing race. Top speed is around 350+. Rev limiter is 10500 rpm. 1005 hp.

    I would certainly be much more Petrolhead again... spend my summer season on race tracks plus would certainly buy a youngtimer and have fun at regularity rallyes in the mountains. Good old times, all that budget got reallocated into watches ::facepalm2::

    Definitely focus more on rugby, powerlifting and pick up the guitar again.

    Horrible thought! Would probably go crazy...
    Seriously I dont really know. Maybe learn to build furinture or a neural network investment robot.. :)
    But I would most likely just chest and still have one watch :D

    I'd eat chocolate. Way less expensive, and probably good for the heart too!

    Curiously, I would have a lot more time on my hands (pun intended)

    I would spend it on cheese, cheese is the next best thing to watches. Only original cheese, no dairylea or plastic slices.

    Oh, I dunno .... maybe I'd finally get that idea off the ground for reversing global air pollution ... it's quite straighforward, really.

    I’d sell my Geiger counter and cancel the order for a Radon meter ;)
