You start leaning back as you go faster, and lean forwards quickly when slowing down and tip to the side when turning, then walk sideways as you change direction as you shout, COUNTERSTEEER and then over correct and smash into the nearest wall, then start constantly veering in one direction because you forgot to turn off mechanical damage.

I have actually done this... At school, where the age group is 12-18 years :p
 
When you drive somewhere and arrive earlier than satnav predicted and you think 'wow I must have got gold' :p
 
when you reach for the RA dial in your RL steering wheel to turn TCS off

when you play the Dealership song in your iPod when visiting a RL car dealership

when you think your RL car has SRF

when you start to recite pacenotes to your taxi driver

when buying new tires, you look for Sports Soft
 
...when you drive to work thinking on how you can come up with a good setup for your suspension to get there faster.

Epic thread btw
Had a good laugh 👍
 
When I hit the nonexistent "Look Back" button on my real life steering wheel and wonder why I'm still looking forward. :lol:
 
...your watching Top Gear and you worry that the car taking a lap might hit an invisible barrier if it goes off course.
 
When you have a shopping trolley that's got bad understeer so you try giving the wheels some camber.

When you're the passenger in the car and you're telling the driver how to drive.
"Get a good draft now, try out-brake him in to the next turn, change tyres and try get him on the undercut, bump draft to get away from the pack"
 
(for you rich people) You stop working after earning $20,000,000(cr)

When you get angry at another racing game for using [R2] instead of X to accelerate
 
Hour 10 of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, I just saw the Statue of Liberty in the trees betweem Arnage and Porsche Curves. Oh, and the Playstation Team Oreca Audi passed me after I spun out and I thought to myself, 'little does he know I'm taking his car from him when I win'. Time for bed.
 
I have Play TV on my PS3 and I was watching the F1 at the weekend. I had the pad in my hand and they went to a in car view.

I pressed L1 to try and look behind.:dunce:
 
When you press R1 to try to zoom in anytime you can't see something right on your PS3. (only 480 users will get that ;) )
 
I've done the R1 thing too when watching normal TV going "WTF is that? I know! I'll zoom in!" *grabs DS3* "oh yeah..." *facepalm*...
 
Page 7 of this made me lol so much!!

When you go to book your driving test and think i've already got 5, i dont need another

When you start thinking F1 is slow because you can lap 30 seconds faster in an X2010

When you go to get the car keys and wonder why there aren't 400 sets there
 
when you look for the shutter speed 1/8000th on you real life camera.

when you are prepared to pay up to 20,000 pounds/dollars/euros etc. on a brace bar.
 
When you get in your real car and:
*Think that it's feeling sloppy and indirect and you should buy the full suspension upgrade and stickier tyres
*start trail braking into corners and roundabouts
*think that the steering wheel is way too big and feels like you're driving a truck
*Keep turning on windscreen wipers and flashing high beam headlights while changing gears with the paddles behind the steering wheel that don't exist on your real car. They're the windscreen wiper and blinkers/lights stalks!

:D
 
When my wife told a bunch of friends at a dinner party that she is second best in my life to a guy called Bob....

That took some explaining.
 
You see a car with a black hood and think, Is the car in the NCD? No? HOWWWWWW??! (Like a carbon hood)
 
# drive through my housing complex, speeding and using the racing line
# put some Gran Turismo stickers on my car, and think that my car already equipped with Racing Modification
 
When your real car is missing or your real garage is empty you press "Retrieve Thumbnail"
