There's one lives just down the road. He never EVER pulls away without revving his Golf GTI Mk3 to within an inch of its life and screeching the tyres. I feel like punching his lights out and I may do someday.
It's not even a particularly quick motor, I reckon my Swift Sport would worry it a bit...:D
A dying breed, been priced off the road. You don't get as many cruises or teenagers modding their cars anymore. When I was younger you used to see modded Novas, Renault 5s, Saxos, Pug 205s, Escorts etc all over the place, I don't see the equivalent today.

You can buy a brand new motor that looks as if it's crashed into Halfords shop window, you don't need to do it yourself:D
As an ex Impreza P1 and RB5 owner, I'm qualified to say that

They've obviously been playing the Need For Speed games too much. It's laughable because all they've probably had added is a loud exhaust, black tinted windows and decals or whatever on the paintwork. The stock engine will still be there. If a faster engine's available, they certainly won't be able to afford them.
Speed, in a car, its a good feeling, and racing, although I am not a racer, I imaging its a far better feeling. The power and speed.
But the engine is usually the one part that's not touched.
Big bore exhaust - tick
Blacked out windows - tick
Jelly mould style bodykit - tick
Amp and subwoofers - tick
Little cuddly toy hanging off the rear towing eye - tick
Anything to actually make it go faster - uhh.....nope

That's the key advantage of Subaru. You get it all, except for the cuddly toy, and a quick visit to those nice people in Banbury sorts your engine.
There's a street race near me every now and then at night. I don't see it but when I go to work in the morning I see the skid marks going all the way round roundabouts and the occasional wrecked railing where they've obviously lost it.
Don't really see them much anymore, they pretty much died out in the mid 00's. What you get now is people going around on quad bikes that sound like thunder. They always make a point of going out at busy times narrowly missing traffic.
One of my pet hates are those huge noisy exhausts. Makes you look like a pr*ck.
Bunch of boys near me learnt the hard way about racing recently. The driver, his best friend and girlfriend all died after the one car lost control - killed a passenger from an oncoming car too.

OI, I had them in my Seat Marbella and I'm no boy racer.
You don't live in Hertfordshire do you? I had a convoy of racers go by me on the A414 on Sunday night. I was doing about 50 and my car shook when they went by me. An Audi A3, a Focus and something else in convoy. How they pulled up without crashing at the roundabout I'll never know.
someone i knew many years ago put a 3 litre engine in a robin reliant and earned himself the nickname plastic pig that stuck for years after he sold it.

You start a thread to boast about how you did 160mph on a public road, and then have the temerity to talk about other people being boy racers?
Classic!

Your car is likely to be infinitely nicer than theirs but by doing that your actions are going to make you seem no better than them.
Plus they probably aren't going to suddenly change their ways - the first chance they get to cut you up etc they'll likely go for it.
...does this mean Uncle_Phil is also a boy racer?
...discuss. ;-)
