The Car Hobby blog is a reflection of my life-long interest in all things mechanical. From the local car show action, to my occasional trips and everything else in between. While mostly posting about cars, you will also find aircraft as well as the occasional train and ships that catch my interest. It is a place to share it all. Enjoy!
