You know you've been watching F1 for too long when..

[Shane Butler]

• You take the racing line when walking or pushing the trolley when shopping..

• You get up at crazy times in the morning just to watch a race live or even free practice..

• You count down the days until the first practice session in Australia..

• Every time you stop at traffic lights, you imagine it to be the start of a race and you watch the light, eagerly ready to floor the throttle..

Can you come up with any more? (P.S - please delete or move this thread if its been created before)

 

[Fred Owen]

- You create odds on driver seat predictions for 2013...

I noticed myself doing this a couple of days ago

Took the corner too early and clipped the wall at the apex(shoe care stand at the end of the aisle)

Guilty

 

[the_sigman]

• you take the racing line while walking as well as upshifting and downshifting
• you are a passenger in the car and take a packet of wipes and use it as a steering wheel
• you have an F1 car sound as a ringtone

Many moons ago, uh?

About the driving...yeah, definitely guilty. I'd never violate the traffic code, tho. Taking a racing line around corners etc. is fine as long as I'm not putting anyone in danger and obey the speed limit.

Just saw this. I'm guilty as hell.

I had this some years ago, but those around me always wondered what the terrible noise was, so I changed it.

When it is slippery with snow outside I take the racing line in corners when running. I think it works great.

You're using the handles for the windscreen wipers and turnsignals in your car as shiftpadles

Everytime I shift up there's that damn fluid on my windscreen

No, not what I meant...because if your whole life is a race, y'know.

 

[remydeleeuw]

No, not what I meant...because if your whole life is a race, y'know.

But racers have time to take it slow too

This seems to be an appropriate timing to chime in with that old saying:
To finish first, you have to finish first
