It the first thing that you start your day with and is the last thing that you end your day with.

Like all good things, this is one good addiction to have.

You read it pointlessly cause you know it is knowledgeable anyways
You try to get in really bad and get disappointed even more when you are not accepted
You try to make other uninterested people interested
You wonder "Why are the guys not taking out a Team-BHP t-shirt and you imagine the design how is it going to look on you?

I have been browsing through the site only for 3 - 4 months and I do almost all of the things listed in the start of the thread.

Including the one posted above. (unfortunaley in one of the loos in my company there is no network coverage!!

)

Normally when I plan a trip I used to check Google Maps or Wikipedia for routes and information about the routes. Even now I do the same. But only one difference. I first check Team BHP for a route and then go to Google maps or Wikipedia!!

I came to know im addicted to team-bhp is,
- When i stoppped using orkut, face book, google chat etc to see something new happening in t-bhp.
- When I turned my chat status to invisible mode so that I can share quality time in t-bhp.
- The last thing im doing every day is to search for new posts about my favourite car.
- Waiting for the approval message from t-bhp moderators and getting worried when it becomes late.
- Feeling elated on seeing the approval message in my inbox.
Team-bhp rocks.

I too got addicted to team BHP. The proof is that 200 and add posts with in 60 days, The team BHP sticker in my car.Addicted due to lots of good things happen.

mjothi · 12th December 2009, 08:07

I am sure many would have known that how badly they are addicted when the site was down for hours.

Man, my keyboard F5 key is gone

And hats off to the team for working non-stop to get it back and for saving my F5's.

Greetings to all!
I joined in Nov 09 and am also totally addicted to T-BHP! The best part is I am not on to any other forums/sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. In fact I opened an account on Facebook and deactivated it shortly as I found it too boring.
Team BHP rocks - The people are just great and the friendship and warmth while congratulating others (car purchase etc) and exchanging information is unbelievable!
Rock on!
Warm Regards

You know you are addicted to Team-BHP when, you don't use sms lingo even while messaging people .

Personal experience. And I'm just starting!

Adding to that, you also know you are addicted to Team BHP when you get irritated when someone messages or chats with you using sms lingo

My addition would be - Go out of your way 2 kms to chase down a fellow t-bhpian's car so that you can shoot the picture of tbhp sticker on his car to post it here or to wave at him.

rauldsouza · 14th December 2009, 20:21

I am spending more time in office browsing team-bhp rather than working. I might just end up the first casualty here.
We might need a rehabilitation thread for this.

1. When you felt the recent maintenance downtime was the longest wait you ever had.
2. You go crazy looking at team-bhp stickers on some fellow bhpian's car. You get a weird feeling like meeting someone from your civilization in a remote island.
3. You keep your eyes wide open to look for whacky mod jobs, exotics on road and follow them to take a pic from your mobile and post here.
