    Celicalitus is a disease associated with people who are obesessed about the sports car, the Toyota Celica ST16* series.

    It can be passed down through family genes as certain members of families may have had it before their offspring, therefore it automaticlys passes on to them. Certain members on the ST162.net have caught the disease through this way. I will breach confidentiallity regulations and name them :

    eNtrax GT 88, Jamezzy, Thaifighter :ugh

    Other ways it can be caught are through friends who insist on brainwashing their mates on how good and sexy the Celica is, therefore influencing someone who was about to buy a Ford into buying a Celica instead.

    It can also be self inflicted. When one has passed their driving exam, they don't go and buy a normal sensible family car which gets them from A to B, but do their research on a Toyota Celica and decide they want excitment that a normal car can't provide. It also has an added attraction for male owners, that it can attract the female species :naughty

    Symptons of Celicalitus :

    Polishing the Celica everyday or in extreme cases, twice a day.
    Going to and from the garage or drive, every so often to look at the Celica.
    Secretly sneaking a Celica brochure into the toilet :naughty
    Starting the engine up and just listening to it.
    Taking lots of photos and making videos of it.
    Checking the ST162.net for new posts.
    Driving to meaningless destinations.
    Taking bits of engine apart, looking at it, take photos of it.
    Buying little toy models to go alongside the real thing.
    Arranging meets to look at other Celicas.
    Wearing a ST162 T-shirt, to tell everyone you have Celicalitus.

    These are some of the main symptons, and there maybe one or two I've missed. Currently there is no known cure. Sufferers will have the disease forever and they just have to deal with it in a controlled enviroment such as the ST162.net, which was started by Willie ( Mafix ). It's thanks to him we have the disease under control. Although recently the forum crashed and sufferers had no-where to release their desires. :hehe

    Haha.

    Its a disease which becomes an addiction. Withdrawal symptoms are inevitable. Owners cannot stop thinking about their cars and tinkering with them.

    yep owning mulitple is a big time symptom of wich i have suffered.
    spending lots of money modifying/improving
    spending hours on the net looking at pictures and trauling through ebay and for sale adds for parts
    going to the wreckers just to see if they have a new celica in (even tho you were only there 2 days earlier)

    lol good post Steve

    What about when you go to sleep ? Do you think about your Celica ? After a good polishing session, I always go to sleep on a high, just thinking about what I've done and how shiny it is :cool

    I park the car with the rear end back in first. When I walk away I keep looking back and think how sexy the car is :)

    My girlfriend is sometimes a bit jelous, when I spend more time with the car then with her.
    These times I just say: you don't need to be jelous, you're the younger :D

    Re: CELICALITUS - explained

    Yes I too am guilty of this. You tend to turn your head back more than once. I also like to park up nice and straight. I never let the tyre touch the kerb. I park away from trees, because of tree sap ( horrible stuff ! ).
