5. You can't use the same back roads twice within a fortnight
6. The local tyre dealer knows you by your first name and always asks where you're rallying next
7. Your girlfriend thinks you're weird, as you'd rather spend Saturday nights with another man
8. You don’t leave home in the car without a tow rope and tool kit.
