Drag racing, dog walks and horses.
I have in the past been a crew member for a drag racing team running a 1964 Plymouth sport fury. Which could do the 1/4mile in around 9.5seconds. I enjoy walking my 6year old 3 legged collieX Paddy. 3 legs definitely doesn’t slow him down.
I started horse riding when I was just 5 years old and it’s never left me. Over the years I have owned 3 horses. Unfortunately I don’t have any now but still keep my hand in helping a friend with her 2.
