You know you are a 4x4 Driver when...
* You stop and look at any old rusty heap thinking, "parts vehicle...."
* The weatherman says "Stay in, it's dangerous" and you think "Time to go 4 wheel driving!"
* 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 the 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 1000 kilometres a day so you can spend 2 more days driving at 5 kilometres per day
* You get really "bleeped" off because you spent over an hour to go 10 kilometres home from work on Friday, but are grinning from ear to ear because you spent 6 hours going 4 kilometres 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 spend three hours mowing the lawn contemplating how your ride on mower would look and handle with a 3" lifted, 5 link coil over
suspension, Swampers, having the engine turboed, intercooled and blueprinted .... does Safari make a kit for Briggs and Stratton?
* You pray for rain because tomorrow is your day off and the track is to dry
* You carry a tape measure in your vehicle and measure up other peoples vehicles, to the amusement of onlookers and interest of police.
* You crawl underneath the front
suspension of someone else's car in the car
park to see how he got that extra inch of ground clearance over you.....
* A guy in a 4wd pulls up next to you and you say,
mine is bigger than yours and for once in your life you don't get belted.
* You wash your pride and joy just so you can see how good it looks dirty
* When you can only name 2 state premiers but at least 15 different tyre manufacturers.
* When you don't need to tint the inside of your vehicle's windows because the outside is already covered with stickers from the
places you've visited.
* Instead of taking a playboy to the dunny, you take a copy of 4wd
