    Top 10 reasons...

    Top 10 reasons you know you're addicted to Cliffs of Dover.


    1. You wear your hat to a friends place with TrackIR clip still on it.

    2. You find yourself exiting your vehicle through the sunroof.

    3. You're constantly checking your six on the drive to work.

    4. You check your car's engine temperature every 10 seconds.

    5. You start referring to cars as "contacts".

    6. You enjoy bad weather.

    7. You notice every plane in the sky.

    8. Your computer room is starting to look like a cockpit.

    9. When you're not flying CoD, you are watching BoB documentaries.

    10. Your woman starts referring to Cliffs of Dover as"That game".



    Cheers,

    12. When dropping the kids off at school, you shout 'go, go' as they exit the vehicle.
    13. You snap the rear-view mirror off any car you drive, as it's never really worked and just clutters your view.
    14. Your kids ask 'are you flying tonight' at the dinner table, in all seriousness. You nod solemnly, adding "There's a war on - it's my duty".

    On a good day you can still hear the rumble of the Merlin flying overhead.

    19. you see a flock of birds a mile away and are suddenly overcome by an urge to start climbing towards them (eyes peeled for escorts)

    @OC - good one!, that happens to me frequently. It's normal.
    @DROCK - Over.

    Another one I just remembered and I'm not making this up. I was sitting at a red light and this Asian fellow next to me shouted, 'Break Right". I got all paranoid for a sec but then I remembered my brake light was broken.

    Re: Top 10 reasons...

    *Actual* signs that show me I am addicted:-

    29) When I am driving and see a low aircraft flying towards me there is a split-second when I panic that he may be about to 'bomb my runway'
    30) When I am driving and see an aircraft flying past to one side there is a split-second when I wonder if he is friendly or is going to curve on to my six.
    31) When I am driving and someone pulls into my lane 100yds ahead I feel an urge to open fire before he realises his error.
    32) When I am walking down the street with my wife I naturally walk just behind and to one side like a good wingman. My grown son does the same on her '8'
