... When your two year old walks into the garage, runs her hand along the front gaurd and says "daddy's ute, beautiful"...

Coincidently enough, we'd spent the day before washing and waxing it (she helped of course), it was also the first time she's said the word "beautiful". :-)

[Bossxr8]

When you nearly rear end another car, because you were too busy looking at your own cars reflection in a shop window.

[Struggo]

When Ford Forums AU is the first site you visit on a daily basis

[Landau Stable]

When you keep more spare parts and cars than local wrecking yard, and when look for a house to buy with a large enough block so that you can store them all.

[duaned]

When you have one of these,

[Coyote mk3]

When you are actually forced to go to the place, you park your car at the other end of the shopping carpark as close to a gutter as possible.

...your mates come to you when they have an issue with their POS car

[Mr G8]

I purchased a car (the G8) knowing full well at the time that i had over 6 months to wait to drive it, it looked to beautiful to not buy! And, then had to buy another car to act as a temporary car while i wait out the six months of my green P's :P

[mik]

when the freezer has a gearbox mainshaft in it .

[Joshmcmillan]

When you buy a car (my XR6-T), go to a V8 Supercar Race (Eastern Creek) and then get hit by a car all on the same day!

When your plans for the future are based around living wherever you can fit the biggest garage with the nicest roads, and what cars you will own/build.

When you're on Fordforums at almost 1AM still planning to finish a University assignment tonight. :/

[Sioso]

When a car pulls up next to at the lights, revs the engine and you look across to see it is a car you not only used to own but also did all the modifications to.

(and due to bad start, you get beaten by your own handy work)!!!

When just after you log off AFF and just before you go to bed, you look out the loungeroom window to this and have to take a picture:

There is alot to be said about surrounding yourself with the things that make you feel good morning, noon and night.

[nicco]

When you fly from North Queensland to outback Victoria to pick up a 10 year old car that is "just right" and drive it all the way back on your days off

When everyone you talk to on the planes can't understand why you would do that for an older car unless it's because it's stupidly cheap; which it wasn't.

When you do all that knowing that you are going to rip out the perfectly good motor and gearbox within 6 months to replace it with something with more power!

When you modify said car half way home by getting an irreversible hole cut in the roof (sunroof fitted in Brisbane on the way back to home!)


*shakes head* why do I keep doing this to myself?? Ha ha

[Kable72]

When you notice a hairline scratch on the tailgate of your ute from your front door and have a quiet cry to yourself when no one else can see it and they're asking, "Where's the scratch?"

[CAT600]

Wake up, roll out of bed and look over the mezzanine balcony to the ~ 3000hp parked below?

[BleedBlue]

When your ten year old daughter says - "Dad, I want my first car to be a purple Falcon Ute"

[XBROO]

When the missus says to go and buy a good toddler bed and you come back with this.
