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!

I'm a goddam laser-target of wisdom this morning.
But sadly, that rarely lasts beyond my 1st 3 posts.
Then I degenerate into hysterical ranting and talk of boobage.

Spot on Goaty, Well put mate :)
My sister's ex was the same.
He was a car-nut. Spent sundays doing stuff to his and spent a whack-load on a stereo-system etc but had zero interest in blasting along suburbs at 70mph at 2am on a Saturday morning.
People who like cars take care over them and dont want to smash them up, hence they drive reasonably and act like human beings.
Posing chimps bomb around doing wheelspins and drive 3ft from your bumper to make up for a lack of sex, education and Y chromosones.

Well put, GB.
The thing is, is that you see these muppets in their Saxo's (current boy racer fave) and they tear about like a***holes, cut people up, play soul-destroyingly bad music, and believe they are invincible gods of the roads.
There's 2 yellow saxos in my area, and they both know about me as my car has got considerably more poke than theirs. they stay out of my way now.
It's just annoying that because these t**sers annoy people so much, that people like me and my mates get hammered by insurance and ridiculed by people that group us with the saxo guys, just because we like to drive a nice car.

I think there's a world of difference between someone taking pride in their car and putting work in to create something - I applaud that level of dedication, it's never appealed to me but others do - and Burberry-Cap wearing monkeys that scream up and down car-parks doing wheel spins and braying "Nyah nyah nyah" at each other whilst they thrash their stupid Nova-with-fins and Fiestas.
For christsakes, get a decent car if you feel the need to strut like Greystoke.

My scort isn't entirely rigged up for speed, just a full exhaust and a filtercharger, though more for handling with the suspension stiffened, strut braces and brakes upgrade, but then I could spend thousands on it and it would never be as quick or handle as well as my motorbike. It might get a bodykit one day, but I don't want to advertise.
But the car isnt about the speed, that's the bike's job. The car is for me to travel in style, listen to crystal clear audio, and have a car that I am proud of because it's a small piece of individuality that I created (I did all the work myself) rather than something I bought off the forecourt like everyone else.
Haven't beaten my mates fiat coupe yet, well, not in the car anyway...

Snort Gak and have sex. You can't run anyone over that way or smash into me trying to obtain a giddy sense of adventure that is otherwise lacking in your life.
*shrugs*
Just an idea

See that is half the fun of doing up cars. You can put a 2.0L Turbo Engine from a Vauxhall Calibra into a Nova and it will do 0-60 in 4.5 secs with a few tweaks. But okay, I agree, most people shouldnt be allowed to modify their car by law, due to them having the design skills of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
How fun would it be though to keep up with a £400,000+ Ferrari in your Nova...
*not that i would get into a Nova in the first place :)
