The debate on 3 spoke whells (yes they ARE) got me thinking. This is our opportunity to compile the definitive guide to spotting Chavs and Chav style. This guide should help forum members from inadvertantly buying Vauxhall Novas etc.
So let the debate begin.
To start I humbly offer up the following:
Vauxhall nova mk2 1.0l A big bore exhaust bolt on end piece

I understand the theme here, can you please explain "Chav" to me please??? I think it's basically what we term as "Rice"
Anyway.... the New Zealand equivalent....
Look out for a young chap wearing a backwards cap and impressively baggy pants driving what could well indeed be the NZ version of a Nova...
EF6/EG6 Honda Civic hatch add - chrome wheels of ridiculous dimensions - lower to all curse word - lots and lots of "doof doof" (ok ok something I'll soon have) - maybe neons and/or ugly graphics

Badly fitting "Body Kits" Bumpers and grills roughly cut out and finished with 80grit and B&Q Radiator grill And the dead give away.......... A Max power Sticker ;D Chavs, neds, townies, barry boys, pikies............ Same scum whatever you call them And a Nova with a Red top or 2.0 Turbo makes for a very rapid track day car, take on at your peril

Ricers / Chavs... it looks like they are a global epidemic, like SARS. I think a cull is in order ;D A chav mobile must have as many gaping holes cut into the bumpers / bonnet and god knows where else, and filled with chicken wire. Evidently a 998cc engine requires much more cooling when having the balls revved off it down the high street....

>:(Burberry check. Hackett. Straight-leg light coloured jeans. (Surely pants that tight will crucify your nads when driving. Phat pants is the only way to go...). Reebok Classics. >:(Leaning over to the left as you drive, with your right arm locked straight, so you have absolutely no control over your vehicle, should you balls it up. And lets face it, on those part-worn budget 17's which are way too wide for the car, it's gonna go wrong sooner or later. >:(curse word. No chav-mobile is complete without a 16-year-old council rough-r in the passenger seat. Must chew gum at all times, have a mouth like a sewer, have make-up applied with a trowel, and have two "ambitions" in life - 1 - to appear in daily sport with waps out. 2 - to appear on "Trisha". >:(Stickers. The less appropriate the better. If you drive a 1300 (hcs) Mk4 Escort, then it's obligatary to have TURBOSYSTEMS foot-high sticker on the back windscreen. Oh, and one of those fake-dump-valve-noise-making-thingies so no-one will ever know you are blagging. >:(Stereo: This must be so loud that it has made you completely deaf (Wha?). But have zero sound quality. This should ideally be poorly fitted to make the most out of the rattly build quality of your 13-year-old Nova, especially that GRP (it's carbon fibre, mate) home applied bodykit. Tea-tray spoiler for proffesional neds / those with loose battery terminals. >:(Driving: 60 mph in built-up areas. 50mph on country roads cos the overly lowered suspension can't take bumps or tight corners. 65 mph on dual carriageways. This is because of the Drag produced by wibblepoo bodykit, and weight of cack stereo. May be reduced to 60 if you specified the "FAT SLAPPER curse word" option! >:(No insurance. Its gay for people who can't drive (I'm THE BEST and won't ever have an accident...) >:(No Tax. It's gay. The only tax The chav pays is on his Lambet and Butler Gold's. *cough* >:(No MOT. It's gay. My car would pass well easy, bro, but I'd rather spend the money on curse word styling accesories / woodpecker for the curse word. I think that just about sums up the automotive lifestyle of the scum of the earth......

somthing got mixed up and scrambled their brains cause if you ask one of them about how to tune a car they will start talking about fitting body kits and stereos ;D seriously though it is getting out of hand now their are more totaly tastlesly "tuned"cars about than you can shake a stick at sombody needs to tell them fitting that much down force on the rear of a front wheel drive car is dangerous (well it would be if the cars were quick) the driven wheels are at the other end of the car the down force needs to be there ,they also need to be told that 1 body kit is more than enough and the headlights work much better without half of the bonnet covering them (bad boy my #rs#) it looks wibblepoo ,lexus lights look right only on a lexus and flashing lights and neons look fine on a day van not on a shopping trolley. and lastly for now the exhaust on a car do not need to be that big a 4 pot engine only needs 1 tail pipe no bigger than 3"at the most custmising a car should be about being tastefull ka's novas ,corsa's and saxo's ect are not tastefull to begin with stop it its not clever ;D oh and the peak goes at the front and burbury dosn't look good on a spotty teenager ;D

Just checked ^this^ out. PMSL! ;D ;D ;D For our overseas friends, and anyone still a little confused, here's a good definition from www.worldwidewords.org"CHAV The press in Britain has recently been having fun mocking a group for which pejorative descriptions have been created such as “non-educated delinquents” and “the burgeoning peasant underclass”. The subjects of these derogatory descriptions are said to be set apart by ignorance, fecklessness, mindless violence and bad taste. To illustrate the last of these, critics point to their style of dress: a love of flashy gold jewellery (hooped earrings, thick neck chains, sovereign rings and heavy bangles, which all may be lumped together under the term bling-bling); the wearing of white trainers (in what is called “prison white”, so clean that they look new); clothes in fashionable brands with very prominent logos; and baseball caps, frequently in Burberry check, a favourite style. The women, the Daily Mail wrote recently in a characteristic burst of maidenly distaste, “pull their shoddily dyed hair back in that ultra-tight bun known as a ‘council-house facelift’, wear skirts too short for their mottled blue thighs, and expose too much of their distressingly flabby midriffs”. This upsurge of popular distaste towards one group may be evidence for a cultural shift back towards a class-ridden British society—at least the fear that it might be so is causing some alarm in liberal circles. Critics point to the copying of the style by many younger television celebrities as a further dumbing-down of that medium. Much of the attention is due to the experience of a Web site, which was intended to be humorous but which was infiltrated by extremists who threatened to turn it into a hate site. From a linguistic perspective the most interesting aspect is the wide variety of local names given to the type. Scots call them neds (often said to be an acronym of “non-educated delinquents”, but that’s a folk etymology, given credence by being mentioned as fact during a debate in the Scottish parliament in 2003; it’s actually from an abridged form of the given name Edward, which was attached to this group in the period of the teddy-boys, who dressed in a version of Edwardian costume), while Liverpudlians prefer scallies (a term of long-standing for a boisterous, disruptive or irresponsible young man); Kev is common around London (presumably from the given name Kevin, common among this group and popularised through the portrayal on his television show by the comedian Harry Enfield of an idiotic teenager with that name). Other terms recorded from various parts of the country are janners (from Plymouth), smicks, spides, moakes and steeks (all from Belfast), plus bazzas, scuffheads, stigs, stangers, yarcos, and kappa slappers (girls who wear Kappa brand tracksuits, slapper being British slang for a promiscuous or vulgar woman). The term that has become especially widely known in recent weeks, at least in southern England, is the one borrowed for the name of the Web site, chav. A writer in the Independent thought it derived from the name of the town of Chatham in Kent, where the term is best known and probably originated. But it seems that the word is from a much older underclass, the gypsies, many of whom have lived in that area for generations. Chav is almost certainly from the Romany word for a child, chavi, recorded from the middle of the nineteenth century. We know it was being used as a term of address to an adult man a little later in the century, but it hasn’t often been recorded in print since and its derivative chav is quite new to most people. Other terms for the class also have Romany connections; another is charver, Romany for prostitute. Yet another is the deeply insulting traveller, presumably from the Kentish dialect term for gypsy that was borrowed from turnpike, so a person who travels the roads. Did chavi die out, only to be reinvented recently? That seems hardly likely from the written and anecdotal evidence; what we’re seeing is a term that has been in active but inconspicuous use for the last 150 years suddenly bursting out into wider popular use in a new sense through circumstances we don’t fully understand."

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a lot of work must have gone into this car (well at least a lot more than the usual chav motor where the term work seems to mean going down to the local Halfords and taking one of every peice of carbon fibre/chrome tat off the shelf). However, just think of what he could have bought for all the money he must have ploughed into that car!

I'm pretty sure that last is from Warrington (there can't be two surely!). I've seen it about - the first time I saw it I nearly crashed my Golf from laughing so hard!

Do you get the trend of everyone putting carbon fibre bonnets on their cars because they're so much lighter than the stock bonnet so make your car way faster and its not for looks at all Then theres the stupider thing of painting your stock bonnet black so it looks like carbon fibre (no the 1970s reason so you don't get glare when your rallying your escort )
