" You know you’re a road rally addict when ... "
1. You drive the long way round grass triangles on the way to work
2. The local petrol station has banned you from using the jet wash
3. You wait until it's dark before driving your car
4. The 'short cut' always takes much longer
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.
9. Small children point and laugh at the state of your car.
10. Your car has ‘Triggers brush syndrome’ is technically the same one you started with but has had three new handles and fifteen heads!
11. You always get your money’s worth from your RAC membership.
12. Roundabouts and chevron boards are a challenge
13. The words 'not suitable for road vehicles' don't apply
14. You wish hammerite did colour matching
15. You get lost on the way to the shops but can navigate round a 120 mile route in the dark no problems.
16. Your sump guard looks like it fell off a main battle tank
17. The red line on the rev counter is purely a guide
18. Cable ties and gaffer tape can fix anything
19. You spend more time under the car than driving it
20. The scrapyard calls YOU about the cars in your driveway
21. When someone gives you directions you ask for a grid reference
22. You refer to places by nicknames, rather than actual names due to previous moments... e.g. 'Mike corner’
23. Your practical hatchback now only seats two.
24. You pay 3 times the original price for a copy of 'Night Moves'
25. Your lights are always spotless but the rest of the car hasn’t been washed for months.
26. You buy welding wire by the kilometre.
27. The owner of the local motor factors has just named the new wing of his mansion after you.
