The Biggest Car Fan of them all!

BMW_Dude · 06-21-2006, 02:03 PM

I was thinking it would be interesting if you stated your case for being the biggest car fan!

Tell us:

What age you started getting interested in cars?
Why you like cars so much?
Why you think you are the biggest car fan ever?

I'm sure you can say other things, can't think of other things!

Enjoy!

My first word was "auto".

I think I win already, but just to add I wanted to be a f1 racer when I was a little kid, never had action figures but instead toy cars with me 24/7, played with lego, only so I could make my own cars. Dont know why I like them so much, im just attracted to them. Oh and whenever I was driving somewhere Id always say the anme of the cars I saw, well only the nicer looking ones like audi' mercs and bimmas.

My first word was "auto" too.

I learned about different makes before I was three and was able to identify just about every car on the road when I was six.
The only toys I ever wanted to play with were toy cars (and legos). I had lots and lots of toy cars... I started reading car magazines as soon as I was able to. I checked out books from the library that were in languages I didn't speak properly, just to see what kind of cars were made all around the world.
When I got my first internet connection years and years ago the first thing I looked for was information on cars and pictures of them.

I still subscribe to several car magazines and read them through even though I really should use my time for something more constructive.

So, what do I win?

We'll have to wait for other people, see what they know!

Weirdly, my first word was car, the second one was tractor.

When I was younger I have loads of toy cars, which I 'drove' around the house all the time. I got car magazines before I could read properly, I just used to look at all the pictures. I now have 100s of car mags, and subscribe to CAR! Also I celt model cars, in size 1:18. Currently I have about 20 of them, 5 of which are BMWs!

Considering I couldn't speak a word on my third birthday due to learning difficulties, so can't boast that I knew all the car names before my third birthday.

I only got into F1 about 3 years ago, I used to be football made before that, went off it a bit.

I have been into BMWs for about 8 years, and will never look back!

I am intending to get a career with cars, not sure which job though. Would love to be the guy fine tuning the next M5 on the N-ring though!

At birth I came flying at really high speed out of moms vagina screaming "Vroom vroom!"

My future was pre determined.

I was conceived inside a fuel tank.

At the age of 1 I was able to have a 5:1 ratio and I was extremely economical.

At 9 I was the first inline 6 that was producing 333hp at the crank and was completely naturally aspirated.

I ultimately will say that I am a driving machine
