Re: Do I have OCD?
Nothing wrong with the gear knob then?
OCD would be when you polish the mirror, wipe the seat and turn round three times before every journey.

Re: Do I have OCD?
Gear knob still looks like new....
Now you mention it, I only start the engine with the clutch down.
I leave idling for 10 seconds before switching engine off.
I always put foot down on brake pedal before applying hand brake and never use the ratchet.
Always try to park out the way and try to keep away from other cars.

Re: Do I have OCD?
Apart from the foot brake down before engaging the handbrake, I do much the same. I would still change that gear knob just to be on the safe side. It's almost the only original part.

Re: Do I have OCD?

It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Re: Do I have OCD?
If when you approached the water you thoughts were that you were going to give the underside of the car a good wash, then yes you have OCD

I used to be like a bit like that - now they only get attention if they stop or a light comes on - then it depends which one.

Re: Do I have OCD?
My wife says I have SCOCD. The S stands for a word that rhymes with "white" and describes many of my cars aptly.
