You're a 4wd'er when ....

wazza

You know when you are a 4 wheel driver when...

-You stop and look at any old rusty heap thinking "parts vehicle...."

-Your rig has more [farm/boat/military/other vehicle manufacturer] equipment than OEM parts

-The weatherman says "Stay in, it's dangerous" and you think "Time to go 4 wheel driving!"

-You're happy that you can't use 1st gear in the street

-A military convoy passes by and you only look at the axles, tyres and antennas

-You take your other half out to look at new home construction sites so you can drive on the unfinished roads and sand piles

-You have enough straps, chains, rope, etc in your rig to keep the HMAS ANZAC docked during a cyclone

-You can break down on the road, fix the problem and get back on the road without calling RACV

-The RACV guy breaks down, you can stop and fix his problem and get back on the road

-You have a brand new set of tyres, but you keep looking at the tyre ads anyway

-You'll drive 2 days at 500 miles a day so you can spend 2 more days driving at 5 miles per day

-You get reallybleepoff because you spent over an hour to go 10 miles home on Friday, but are grinning from ear to ear because you spent 6 hours going 4 miles on your favourite track on Saturday

-You set your rig up to have a top speed of 100-105 km/h on purpose

-When you pull up next to a Ferrari and all the Ferrari driver can see is tyres and whatever is on the other side of you

-You challenge the Ferrari driver to a race .... if you can pick the course

-You spend three hours mowing the lawn contemplating how your ride on mower would look and handle with a 3" lifted, 5 link coilover suspension, Swampers, having the engine turboed, intercooled and blueprinted .... does Safari make a kit for Briggs and Stratton? What about a K&N air filter??

You drive down the road and see a track leading to who knows where and think, I must try that track some day and see what it is like. Even got the wife looking for me when I am driving now but never had time to go back and try those tracks - bugger.

Relieves the boredom on the longer trips playing spot the new track.
