The other day i called up Psycho and his wife answers the phone.. When i asked for Keshav she gives the phone to him and i overheard..." some Godfather" wants to talk to you... Man that was hilarious... When he comes on the phone i got it confirmed that he had stored my name as Godfather and not Sumit...

You know you are addicted when your girl decides that the best anniversery gift is to soup up your car. My girl spent 40k on mine

1)You know you are addicted to T-Bhp when your two year old daughter rattles off car names and models,actually as well as on the forum and refuses to travel by any other mode of transport other than the four wheeled ecstacies..
2)When your dog stops peeing on your car tyres....as he knows his master's love for his car which has grown leaps and bounds since joining the forum.

Harrie, really??! Man, you're one lucky bugger then!

Referring back to the old 'u can tell u're addicted' list, I'd qualify for 3/4s of them! Most of the time I spend on the internet now is on Team-BHP - even at work. Some of my friends/colleagues will sneak up on me during these times, followed by some mirthful laughter and then a discussion of cars if they're so inclined!

But honestly, it (T-BHP) is a way better method of spending time on the 'net than some others that are a lot more detrimental to the work/play/life balance - i.e. compulsive online shopping, MMO RPG games, propaganda sites, porn, etc.

The best part is - I learn so much on this site, and even got to meet several fellow gearheads/petrolheads in person thru here!

The only thing I regret is joining so late! (then again, I haven't really lived for long stretches in India till 2005, but that's beside the point)

* You know u are addicted to Team-bhp when your colleagues state that the only way u wud end up working is when this site is blocked on ur computer. Little do they realize all i wud do then is sit n brood.

* You know u are addicted when u realize that the Palio and Adventure are cars worthy to be bought, and not looked down as is the perception with some people.

* You know u are addicted when people from ur team in office come to u with queries on 'WhatCar?', and all u need to do is browse the archives a lill to dig out necessary bankground info on the choices listed.

* You know u are addicted when despite ur manager being able to see ur 21" monitor every time he comes or goes from his seat, u still have Team-Bhp open on a teenie weenie lill screen at the right bottom corner.

Cudnt have summed it up better.
