1. The phone numbers of all in the XR committee are in your speed dial...... and your friends and family are not !

2. Your XR club membership card are covering the photo of your wife and kids in the clear window in your wallet.

3. When you say no to a wedding invitation because there is a club event on that day.

4. All the people you know drive XR's.

5. You wear a halo or tiara in public – just to make your other clubbies smile. :king:
6. You try to catch up to every other hot XR & FPV on the road when out driving in case it’s a fellow clubbie so that you can give them a wave. :
7. You haven’t booked your holidays at work yet because the events calendar hasn’t been released.:eclipsee_

and one for Rob –

8. You build a mantel piece for your lounge room just to show off your awesome new trophy…. Go You Good Thing!

Reverse psycology won me my XR8, i had been looking for approximatly 5 years for a low km EB XR8 and found one near bathurst. so knowing my darling wife, i didnt ask for it i just told her where it was and that it was the nicest example of that model i had seen. She put a deposit on it a week later and put the payment advise on my shave mirror.

Since joining these forums and a cruise and e-series joinup and in the garage all the time ing_sm , IM :
