When you nip to your local super market and park as far away as possible to stay away from the other cars, but always come out to find someone took the empty space right next to yours, even though that part of the car park is empty.

When you take it for a car wash and tell the guys not to use the crappy wax/polish spray thing! When you give it a good old tap on the dash after a long motorway journey, i even make the wife do it.

[e30-EVN]

When I drive through the town centre and pretty much every head turns, and I look to my right in Wilkinson's windows and see the reflection of my pride and joy rolling past and think "no wonder people look and stare at it"

[e30-EVN]

Oh and I do the tap on the dash thing to lol - if she beats something quick, when I catch a nice drift or for just generally making me feel so good

[ah]

Or when you go to local BMW dealer an the customers are more interested in your car than the new ones they came to look at!

You bought a service light resetting tool, only to find you could have just used a paperclip instead.
