I've got a spoiler on my scoob and an afterburner vortex exhaust and a dump valve, and yes I even own a baseball cap not that I wear it much. What am I thinking, I should behave and abide by what the majority thinks is acceptable... lol Well if all this makes me a boy racing chav in the eyes of the public, so be it.... F$ck 'em I say, life's too short to worry about it.

Bottom line is, you fit bolt ons to your car. Your a car nut - your more likely to thrape it to death as you are a boy racer - just some are in denial

Would I buy a car with a stupid oversized blitz backbox?...<ahem> NO!

Hmmm, I kinda see where they are coming from with the exhaust thing, but there is an important qualification to be made: that of the car it's fitted to.

Fitting a loud exhaust to an asthmatic Nova or Saxo is just plain daft: they sound sh*te and it makes the owner look pretentious...I've always found it quite funny though.

However, I defy anyone not to be -at very worst- indifferent to a decent exhaust on a proper performance car that accentuates an already good sound rather than just turn the volume "up to 11" on a crappy sound!

I know one thing: when I blip the throttle on my scooby (standard part from a nice fruity H&S backbox), people turn and smile. The flat four is up their with the best of the exhaust notes! I've yet to see a disgruntled or dissaproving face, or be on the receiving end of a rude gesture or verbal outbust.....Maybe I just can't hear them over the noise??

Best....

PS. Vroom, burble, burble, burble.

I don't get the bloody Sun....they have a go at people having loud exhausts, loud stereos etc....and yet those are the very chavs(i guess we all must be, as the Sun said so ) that recently they were saying are the next form of British life, like the Mods and the Rockers and the Punks and so on....the very group that they have proudly been supporting in their pro-chav columns!!
What's worse is the feeble minded idiots that buy it
Did you know that the Sun is written so that a 9 year old can understand every word!!!

:/snob mode off
I don't mean any offence to any readers, but come on, it is just entertainment and pictures.....nice pictures

Very nice pictures....did you see the one in today's copy! Anyway, I digress!

I don't think the sun have been praising chav culture directly, in fact I think they've been making light of it in a fairly inoffensive way in most of their articles....probably for fear of alienating many of their readership!

However, I guess they do support it indirectly by exhibiting so much interest in what the main proponents of chav culture -e.g. Jordon et al- are up to. Hard to see whether their interest is motivated by a reflection on the percieved readership or just by contempt sometimes, though. That kind of reporting always seems to have an element of a "feakshow" about it to me

Anyway, who says the Sun even has a target audience: ***** are such a great common denominator!

I have an admission: I'm giving serious thought to getting an Sti V5 spoiler for my MY99 turbo! I know its huge, but I think its looks great!

Does that make me Chav???

Anyway, back to the boobies : Has anyone got a copy of todays's Sun?? Wow, I think i'm in love!!!! That's a properly good looking woman!!!

Well I cannot say I agree - I have had two fingers, heads shaken, alarms set off, but I think it sound good (full afterburner de-cat!!!)


Quick Reply: anyone with a loud exhuast on their scooby ?
