Who are the mystical 'purists'?

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been accused of liking cars a bit too much. Here’s ten signs we reckon show you’re a true car geek.


1. You know the paint names of cars you don’t own

2. After coming back from holiday you realise you took more photos of cars you saw than of the people you went with

3. At night you can tell what the vw 50 metres ahead of you is, just from the brake lights

4. You remember certain roads and places by the awesome vw you once saw there

5. You chuckle/tut when you see a car with a numberplate that refers to a different car. Such as ‘typ 1’ on an beetle

6. The password you use is related to cars

7. You like it when two of the same cars from different years are next to each other, so you can spot the subtle differences.

8. You feel annoyed when see cars with AMG, Brabus or M badges that shouldn’t have them on

9. When sitting outside at a restaurant or pub you make sure you’re facing the road, so you can keep an eye on what cars are going past

10. You know what ‘911 HUL’ refers to

How many of these refer to you, what did you get out of 10?!

 

Saddo.

 

Seriously though. Who are these so called purists. Who put themselves up as above others and decree they have the right to judge other people's pride n joy's. would it be concours judges, other knowledgeable's of note or is it a complete falsehood and we have picked up on an urban myth that we use to suit our own obsesion with things being right?

 

I fitted an EMPI inlet manifold once, does that count?

 

Now that makes sense
