#youknowyoureapetrolheadif...
you bought a car because it was interesting rather than practical, even though it never works.
you can recognise the wreck/burn out etc on just the door handle or other small detail
you pick up Castrol instead of Milk at the garage
You have a secret top speed you did but can't tell because its highly illegal
you look in the rear view mirror for trails of fluid more than the road ahead!
you love the smell of Castrol-R, hi-octane petrol and aviation fuel. Not necessarily in that order
if you stand in a forest at 6 A freezing am waiting for 30x70's shopping cars to drive past
driving is not just about getting from A to B, but by getting from A to B, via Z
you believe every road-going vehicle should be made to sound like Aston Martin's LMGT1 DBR9 (2007)you have a secret desire to have a filthy oil soaked pit
you have driven 1500miles to #lm24in a Westfield and didn't take the roof
you've used phrases like “spine-tingling bark” and, “the euphoric V8 howl” to describe the sound of a Ferrari
you're not sure how many cars you've got..... oops!
you've chosen cc's and power over a cars looks before. As long as it handles
your workshop is cleaner than your house :-)
you wish Magic Tree did a two-stroke and petrol scented freshener for your office.
you can tell the petrol grade by the taste!!!
you're caught admiring the panel gaps of your wedding car instead of your wife in wedding photos....#guilty
you must be a petrolhead if your kitchen table has carburettors!
the first thing you miss when it’s snowing is an Impreza WRX STi.
You wash dirty car parts in the bath.
you know every bend at the Nurburgring because you've driven it a million times on PS3
you would have a Ducati 916 in your living room as an ornament
you buy a car and go stage rallying and compete on a stage you had watched Kankkunen on 20 years earlier. #bliss
you lost one of you eyebrows standing too close to a starting Zonda R (Goodwood Paddock, best times)
if you let you children do the gears for you while your driving.
You've got a little 'air' over a hump back bridge
When you talk about IF I WIN THE LOTTERY you can't narrow it down to less than 10 cars you would buy!
you do a Santa Pod style start every time leaving the Severn bridge tolls
you go against the SATNAV directions in order to get lost on purpose.
You still have bits from previous cars you adored in the shed just in case.......
a Mk1 Escort Mexico or Peugeot 205 GTi excites you just as much as a Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini Gallardo.
SHUT UP TOP GEAR IS ON!!!
the metallic clatter of the M3CSL motor at 7,000rpm brings tears to your eyes
you instantly know the difference's between a standard M3 & an M3CSL
the noise of a floored F458 Italia can make you weep
You've bought a SECOND#AlfaRomeo remembering full well what you went through with the first.
your fuel bill has been higher than your rent for the last seven years. (True story) #pimpstarlife#BRAAAP
You pause a conversation because you can hear a TVR half a mile away
