You realise you're a petrolhead when you..
Discussion
... can recognise a car by it's wing mirrors
... you peek through wheelspokes to see if it's got X-drilled discs.
... Do a u-turn when you see a Stratos/GTO/Vantage/etc parked up on the other side of the road
... cruise autotrader on the internet instead of porn sites.
... know why TVR's will always by cool.
... spent 4 weeks working out if you really could afford to build an Ultima.
... Spend another 3 weeks working out if you could build an Ultima in your driveway and is a garage really necessary for this project.
... logon to PistonHeads for a quick gander after work and you're still there at 2am.
... You realise you never need to overtake it's just there to be done, even if you're 1/2 a mile from home.

1. You have already bought the lot.
2. You have car mags at home that W H Smiths don't even stock.
