You know you’re a SPRIDGET enthusiast when;
* You always park facing down hill

* The Bloke at the parts store;
gets a silly grin on his face when you walk in
is listed as a dependent on your tax form
sends you a get-well card if you haven't bought a part
for two weeks recognises your voice on the phone

* You buy a parts car and not even you! believe you will wreck it.

* You get into a car and are surprised;
when all of the instruments work
you can carry on a conversation without shouting
by it's not needing oil, brake fluid, coolant......

* You get into a car and are NOT surprised by;
a spare battery
a tool kit that fills half the boot
a slightly singed instrument panel

* You actually like the smell of WD40.

* You call RAA and THEY recognise your voice

* You look under the bonnet and see;
more duct tape than hose
more electrical tape than wire
more oil than metal

* You tell your wife/partner the reason you were out to 3AM, is that your car broke down and she believes you

* The people you live with are no longer bothered by sitting down to dinner, and sharing the table with carburettors

* You pay more visits to the parts store than to the petrol station or supermarket.

* You entertain your closest friends in the garage, and they find nothing unusual in your choice of venue.

* Your car makes a funny noise and you know at once;
what is wrong how much the part(s) will cost what tools will be required how long it will take to repair.

* Your Generator dies, so you just pull one off the pile in the garage.

* You distrust any one named Lucas.

* You believe that Lucas' first name is "****ing"

* You wash your hands before working on your car so you don't get the engine compartment dirty.

* People ask you how many cars you own, and the answer contains fractions.

* You plan 4 hours for a trip - 3 for travel and 1 for repairs.

* Any discussion of a trip contains references to break-downs.

* When getting ready for a trip, you pack more supplies for your car than for yourself.

* You supposedly bought the car to attract members of the opposite sex, but no longer have the time or money to go out on a date.

* You know about the hole into the 4th dimension in the engine compartment that swallows 1/2" X 9/16" spanners

* You know that:
A "Bonnet" is not a lady's head covering
A "Hood" does not cover the engine
A "Spanner" does not span anything
A "Boot" is not footwear for cowboys

* You return to your car in a car park, notice there is no oil underneath,and immediately assume the sump is empty.

I recon this sux because it is so true, well for me, How about u guys


When i go to the service station in my mini, i go there to top of the oil and check the fuel.

I think I have experienced every one of those! Some of them several times.
But, I'll have another Frogeye delivered in April, glutton for punishment that I am!

Are we twins? The only thing you forgot was bringing the coffee and donuts to the parts supplier to cheer him up when you walk in the place.
