Now almost every motorist in Britain at one time or another has had a 'rude boy' boy racer pull up next to them at a set of traffic lights and try to race them in their cars which are lowered, with bodykits, alloy wheels, tinted windows, overly loud I.C.E (In car Entertainment), and lairy paint jobs. These drivers say that they don't get any respect because they aren't allowed to gather anywhere to show off one anothers cars, and they get pulled over by the police all the time, not to mention their extremely high insurance costs. If you ever meet on of these or you are one these will probably be what you'd complain about regarding you car/driving. Well technically you're not wrong....just stupid.

You want to gather round to see everyones car, so that you can all be amazed how someone has turned a 15 year old VW Golf Clipper worth £400 into a VW Golf Clipper worth £4,000....in your dreams. There are a few cars that look half decent I have to admit, but when you get someone lacking brain cells after being beaten half to death by the 'rozzers' for urinating up the car door of the squadie's motor, their the ones that should still be taking their 11+ exams. Why? I hear you ask....well thats because they're the one's that will max up an old Nova or Fiesta or any other car that is more than 8 years old and think it looks cool, then they do 'burnouts' to try and burst their tyres, do 'doughnuts', race one another and generally cause a nuisance to jo public (he's a mate of mine, as hard as nails, but wears girls clothes at the weekend). Then when they get caught by the police they think that their being persecuted for having a nice car. NO...you're getting done because you're acting like a tw@ and your car is actually no better than my grannies disability cart although hers doesn't have rust around every seal.

Wondering why you also get pulled over by the police all the time IS because your car is maxed up, and the reason they pull you over is because they know you've just been driving like an idiot at 80mph in a 30mph zone trying to race an old man on a zimmerframe walking on the path adjacent to you! But how do they know this? Well your car is like Pamela Anderson standing in a busy shopping centre with no top on (except your car doesn't look that good), it attracts attention like a blooming big beacon. As soon as you max up your car your just telling the police that "I drive like I've got a serious case of the squits, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it (Literally)". You basically deserve points on your licence just for being dumb enough to waste that amount of money on your car in the first place.

Well how do you explain the high insurance costs then? Well basically because they've seen your a mug enough to buy a body kit etc so yes they have seen you coming a mile away, without even needing binoculars. How can we correct this and be accepted back into society then your wondering. Well instead of driving a naff car hard to get a decent 0-60 time out of it and spending stupid amounts of money on it, why not go out and actually buy a car that does what you're looking for a car to do....and I don't mean some dodgy BMW or Escort Cosworth, actually go and buy something like a Lotus Esprit, Porsche 911 or a Ferrari...even if it is 15 years old, thats allowed as it's a ferrari. Then and only then when you next pull up at the traffic lights and try to race me will you be 1. Able to actually beat me with me driving normally and 2. Have a car that is any good!

My mate has an Integra Type R.
We never get raced, strangely.

Scientists have proved a direct link between the amount spent on "making the car look good" and penis-size.

Good car...you'd have to be pretty stupid to race that...which surprises me that no-one in a 1.0l Fiesta hasn't tried it!

It's funny as hell to go and rent a video on a Saturday night from Blockbuster.
We pull into the car-park and see Novas and Fiestas with all sorts of crap on them, chimps leaning out of windows.
We drive up, they "Ook! Ook!" and all look embarassed.

That is THE place for them to hang out as well, I've noticed the odd ape in his Renault 5 outside Blockbusters thinking he was cool. If i had a car like that I'd you make sure I'd only use it when I NEEDED to, but I'd never do it up thinking it was cool and gave me an extra 10 bonus strength points!

I would love to join in this one, as I am modding my car, I've just spent £300 on my ICE (not including the headunit or changer), and will happily argue that it is a valid use of time and money...

But I'm going home instead. The boss is out, and I have done all my work for the day, so I'm going home.

I.C.E i think is ok to spend money on, only if we're talking a decent head unit, and decent speakers...but not shed loads of amps, bass boxes and 15" subs...thats just stupid!

Modding the rest of you're car up just makes you look like you've got more money than brains? As if you had brains you would have just bought a decent car in the first place!

My mate owns a TVR Tuscan and his brother an Aston Martin DB7, every night I cry a little.

I'm going to put a big pink neon strip up the side of my 306 and see if I can infiltrate a rude boy gang and find out the secret of what's so great about Burger King's car park in the Queensgate Centre in Harlow. But they might rumble me, due to my car having a Rotary Club sticker on the windscreen that I CAN'T GET OFF.

Hey, maybe they're the infamous Rotary Club Playaz, and will accept you into their crew. It could lead to great things.
