Celicalitus is a disease associated with people who are obesessed about the sports car, the Toyota Celica series from the very first generation, through to the final seventh generation.
It can be passed down through family genes as certain members of families may have had it before their offspring, therefore it automaticly passes on to them. Certain members on the Celica Club UK have caught the disease through this way.
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 , Vauxhall, or Rover etc, 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
Its a disease which becomes an addiction. Withdrawal symptoms are inevitable. Owners cannot stop thinking about their cars and tinkering with them.
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
Starting the engine up and just listening to it.
Taking lots of photos and making videos of it.
Checking the Celica Club forum for new posts.
Driving to meaningless destinations, taking the longer route than usual and taking photos.
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 T-shirt with a photo of your Celica, to tell everyone you have Celicalitus.
Keep turning your head several times to look at it after parking up.
Looking at reflections of the Celica in shop windows while driving.
Owning more than one Celica.
Thinking about what job next to do on it, when sleeping ( ignoring the other half ).
Parking your Celica in a heated, carpeted room, that's even nicer than your bedroom.
These are some of the main symptons, and there many more. 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 Celica Club UK. It's thanks this club that we have the disease under control. Although recently the forum went through a refurbishment and sufferers had no-where to release their desires.
Fellow sufferers of CELICALITUS.......please do not feel isolated, we are all here to support one another and NOBODY on here will laugh or bully each other......we ALL have the same disease.
