Sergei Rachmaninoff's pastimes and hobbies

Does anyone know what Rachmaninoff liked to do when he wasn't composing or doing something else musical?

I once read somewhere he liked gardening/agriculture and invented a type of lawnmower. Apparently he also enjoyed motor boating and fast cars, at least it's what I read somewhere.
