Sweeping generalisations characterise this entire thread not to say the board anyway. Where would we be without them?

Karl is a chav (should have said any VEHICLE related clothing). Any more for any more?
BTW tel the fact you say you can afford a ferrari is irrelevant (assuming we believe you) to any outside observer if you're driving an Impreza you ARE a chav. As we are talking stereotypes here it works both ways.

You're hung up on this belief thing, aren't you, lol? To me, a Ferrari is a symbol of tackiness unless the driver really is talented, and in most cases, isn't. Similar case of perception you see. What do YOU drive then - a Legacy? The poor man's Audi you mean?
#69
I don't drive anything I'm a biker and (hopefully) like Karl here own a Ducati. As for 'belief' that's what this whole thread is about. The belief of some people here that they are better or different from those they call chavs. In fact they're worse because they cannot accept the truth of the way the world at large perceives them.

I couldn't give a **** how i'm perceived, i own a Scoob for what i consider to be the "right" reasons. There are some of us left!! To me, chavness is defined more by scummy behaviour rather than a list of activities/material possessions which you might personally be able to say you don't do/have. Binge drinking, irresponsible driving, persistent junk food eating, unnecessary benefits claiming, "gang" culture and a whole host of similar low-level undertakings are a more pertinent indication than merely the colour of a set of wheels, in my opinion...

Talk of forming vigilante gangs and single sentence rants like 'I hate fooking chavs innit' clearly fits into the chav mould, making those that say such things stinking pikey scum themselves. Thus my comments.

PP surely placing yourself in a forum of people you believe to be chavs you're amongst people you don't hold in favour, seems pointless to me. If you don't like a group of people why mix with them? Maybe you should pop down your local council estate shops late at night and blend with the real chavs in society and realise your mistake.
Fair play for other SN members not rising to the bait, you are either a fool or a wind up merchant.

Yep, we've got "stinking" now. Tsk, ah well, it was marginally better than w**king while it lasted.
Oh, and add animal cruelty and theft to the real chav hitlist....

As has been proven on many occasions, you can't polish a turd, and you can't make nobility look like chavs, no matter how you dress them or teach them to speak.

Imprezas are undoubtedly chav wagons now....thats not to say they are bad cars or do not have a true enthusiast folllowing, but out of every 10 scoobys I see, 9 are driven by badboy gold wearing bling bling hoodrat types, and 1/10 are driven by fat IT nerd type bloke.....
Go to your nearest inner city to see scooby heaven!

Oh trust me, i only have to go less than three miles on a Saturday night to see it in all its glory, but while i can run a de-badged wagon, with enough done to it to exceed my driving ability in some situations, i'm happy.

I'd love to have a scoob, but Im young, asian, and if I got a scooby I would look like the local mafia who roll around in sti's........so I have to stick to more respectable german cars!(yeh I know BMW's also have an image problem!)
