don't i know it

did another 350 miles this weekend which couldn't have been cheap. although on friday i did 150 miles sat at about 60-65mph just to see what sort of economy i was getting, was probably in the region of 32mpg which is alright i guess. had to do another 120 miles today (85 miles yesterday too) and i ended up doing 75 or so most of the way as i was sort of in a hurry, but didn't wanna spend too much on petrol!

When you swap the rear tyres from one side to the other so they wear out equally.

Or when you see people in the car behind, in the rear view mirror, put their hands up to demonstrate your massive amount of negative camber to their passengers.

.......when you wonder whether you prefer single or double headlight version!

.......when temp gauge is shows overheat during the traffic and goes cooler when you spped up, the fuel gauge and speedo needles are trembling, hazzard and anti-fog switches on the dash are cracked, lighter is not out of order as well as the anti-fog lines on the rear windshield, BUT you still get that big smile on your face!!

........when you may have factory fit electric mirrors but you have to work out various universal solutions in order to have power windows!!!

........when you have rear drums and you want to convert to disk brakes!!!! (ok not for everyone)

....when you don't hestitate saying "i've got the most awesome car around, other cars just don't cut it" and not thinking being arrogant.

....when your accelerating 320/6 delays at a certain rpm.

....when americans are asking about posting bumpers to the us.

.... people make remarks about your massive glovebox!!!

You have to give the dashboard a good whack to have the lights turn on!
