Perhaps I'm cheating on my car?

"C'mon Christine. Christine please, everything's alright, you're still my number one girl!" ...car then bursts into life...

I had a workmate some years ago who was bike mad. We had an open day for family to come in and see what Dad does at work etc.

I was conducting one of the tours and making small talk with one of the Mums, and asked her what her boys names were. Harley and Norton was the reply.

It didn't take rocket science to figure out who Dad was.

Words probably not necessary

I do know a GM enthusiast who named their family dog "Chevy". Didn't know people named the kids after cars though

[homegrown]

Dad wanted my sisters name to be Holley because of the carbie but mum was against it. Ended up as her middle name.

When you want to call in sick to work because it's raining and you spent four hours detailing your car the day before.

I have Facebook in the first tab, so that I don't have other tabs between my Forum tabs!

I was home for 2 days (from working/living interstate) and the only car I drove was my coupe. 43 degrees the first day, no air con. Raining the second. Drove it unnecessarily a lot both days

Just had a really downer afternoon at work.. and since moving into my own place I been a little lonely. Anyway I needed a pick me up so I took the ford out for a spin 5 minutes down the road to the gym, with the stereo cranked up it really brought back my smile

When you dont see one as a method of transportation. But rather a physical extension of the Human Soul.

i would love to say yes they were, but unfortunately you can't have everything.
As you can see, no chain attached to the kitchen sink.


Nah fair is fair, I do things to her car, whilst she does a couple of bits to mine.
But I do tend to get stuck with most of the household duties.....

This thread is a classic hahaha

An old friend of mine who is a complete car nut went snorkeling for the first time a few years back, I asked him, how did you go snorkeling?

Reply: It was awesome, I saw a stingray and it was the size of a HQ bonnet!!!

...you love the smell of diff oil, and clean car parts for ages in kero wash bays, and sweep the floor. Just so you can learn.

Diff oil has to be one of the hardest smells to get out of clothing. I change my 9 inch centre a few years back and I can still smell the diff oil on my overalls.

[THE SLUG]

When your girlfriend named her budgie 'Turbo', just for you.

When you drive a rough, uncomfortable 27 year old car, because it's big and it's loud and it's different to everyone else's.

When you rave on about that car, you admire it, you care for it, when to everyone else, it's just a big old hunk of junk.

When you give it a pat on the dash or bonnet after a drive, saying "there's a good boy, that was a good drive"

When you coax your car up hills, and you know it gives it the extra horse and will power it needs to get up there.

When you give your car affectionate names and you know you could never part with it.

You keep all your old cars, whether they are roadworthy or not, because they are a part of the family.


I never realised how nuts I was about my cars!

[frankie86]

when you go to chuck air in the tyre's at the servo and see the previous person has put 32 pound in their car and think ''uneducated''

[2011G6E]

You're a car guy...When the chair you put in your shed to relax on or read a workshop manual is made from an old bucket seat...(mine is one from an old HQ Premier...comfy!)

[capesy]

when you log in to your computer and the first thing you open is AFF and spend most of your school lessons on AFF looking at project builds

[EATHSV]

When AFF is your home page.

When you detail your broken old warhorse every weekend even though its been tucked up safe in the garage for months.

[te250]

When you and your mates take your own cars for the trip to powercruize instead of all jumping in one

[BLU-220]

when your 4 yr old son says nice clean gt dad, after i washed it, and every time i step outside he says dad work on car, i say yes son

[red_hotxr6]

When your kids try to spot all the kool fords b4 you do..but best of all, if there is good weather both fords are cleaned in and out at least 3 times a week..cant get enough.....go ford..

[XR6T0Y]

When your mates tell you to put a ring on the car because you care about it more than them....woops

[Phil B]

My Fiancee just put this up on facebook about me:

You know you're a car guy when... Your fiancée sits in front of the tv and watches a car restoration show (Last chance Garage), for over half an hour, understands what is going on, and patiently sits through it, before realising the actual car lover isn't in the room and she isn't being forced to watch it... Hahahahahaha :P oops :P

When you loose your licence and build your own track??
