Our flat is by a busy-ish road & when a decent sounding car drives past I'll usually try to identify the make and model by the sound before looking out the window to check if I was correct.

Do I need help? Is it just me? Or do other people do this as well?

A TV might be a useful addition. Or some porn.

Both a temporary fix.

I am a massive car bore.

If you know your BMW E-numbers you are instantly a car bore.

I'll just sit here and stroke my beard...

To be fair, I have a TV and a computer and generally all I use them for is watching car programs and surfing pistonheads

I hear a lot of nice car engine sounds from the busy main road - but far too lazy to get off the sofa (most of the time). Oh, other house blocks the view anyway.

I was mowing the lawn the other day and I heard a familiar grumble-hiss-grumble-hiss from the main road on the other side of the houses, without a doubt a Subaru Impreza WRX or STi getting pushed hardish. Typical boxer grump and dump valve hiss.

You're asking a community of car bores whether you're a car bore.

You see no flaw there do you?

The very fact you've asked here makes you one I'm afraid.

Still, you're in good company, you know, with LHD

And another thing, I'm not going to learn the new 'F-Numbers' because I only like the old 'proper' BMWs moan
