Boy Racers

irishgirl19

Is there anything attractive about boy racers lifestyle?
Why do they drive like lunatics to show off in absolute stupid looking cars that sound like broken hairdryers?
Don't know how some girls swoon all over them...they spend more money on cars than anything else...sad really
im sick of these people nearly putting other people at risk by driving like reckless idiots.

granted there are people with zoomed up cars that dont be doing 'doughnuts' everywhere but...

Aoifey!

Dont be getting boy racers mixed up with car enthusiasts,boy racers usually rob cars and rally them or buy ****ebuckets and wreck them,enthusiasts take good care of cars,id ask you to post this thread on any car forum and you would see the difference.

I love slamming on the brakes when they tailgate me :cool: Just to see the look of shock on their faces in the mirror, and hear the farty noises eminating over the 50 cent CD, blaring from their micra

They are losers with no hobbies who kick tyres in carparks, do laps of small country towns to get attention and spend all their dole money in halfords on vulgar accessories for their equally vulgar ten year old buzzing shitwagons.

There aren't really as many around as there used to be. A very small perk to the recession I suppose :P

I like dog racing and horse racing, so boy racing could be good too. Would they be going over fences or on the flat?

I have a sport version of a popular make of saloon car. It has alloys and a spoiler and is quite highly tuned. I bought it because it has a higher spec than the other models with climate control, cruise control etc. I'm a 24 year old lad and am instantly judged on it as being a boy racer, yet the only crash I was involved in was when a young woman ploughed into the back of me nearly writing my car off! Does that mean i should judge all women drivers to be bad based on my experience?

are the clergy involved in boy racing.

Yes, of course! In fact, you didn't even need that experience!

Mr. Denton

I think if it was America and the 1960's then I could see the appeal of being a 'boy racer' and living the hot rod lifestyle ...

... however in 2011 driving around in a ****ty Japanese/Korean identicar with a broken exhaust and cheap decals just marks you out as over achieving chav scum.

No, but they use boys as the hares in priest racing.

In my time ive driven mivecs,vtec civics,non vtecs,a crx even standard lancers,mirages and a hatchback 1.3 civic all considered boy racer cars,ive driven most of these with a baby in the back,a car doesnt make a driver scumbags would rally a micra if they had one.

charlemont

I saw some muppets down by the Siptu building in Cork last night and when one of the clowns started his engine up and drove, the racket of the bloody exhaust was awful, Seriously If I see him again and have to hear that racket Ill pull him out of the car and give him a few slaps..

Seannew1

I remember a few years ago in a set of traffic lights,there was this fella in his honda civic revving the bejaysus out of his car,just showing off before the lights went green.Then he let his enthusiasm get the better of him and with all the cars still stopped, he went flying into the back of the car in front.........needless to say I can't take boy racers serious ever since.......

I know how you feel about being sterotyped at the momment i drive a Honda Accord Type S not even Euro R and the amount of time because when I talk about my car (basically its my baby:o) and the fact its a Honda ive had people say to me oh are you boy racer? Its a Honda? Thats without even seeing my car. Way to stereotype :mad:.

The only noise needed is the sound of a good engine! What's the point in trying to get a stupid 1 litre hatchback to sound like a v12 and failing miserably?

TimeToShine

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent statement were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

**** all those boy racers, I've a horse outsoide

I used to love the whole boyracer thing way back in the day (2006).

The thrill of sitting in the car as it spun around a carpark at a cruise, and all as you could see was smoke from the tyres.

I remember one cruise, the squad car drove in around the lads, and one idiot followed the squadcar doing doughnuts. It was quite funny to see the guards crawling around in circles after the car, with the sirens on.

Driving round with them after the nightclubs, the DS flying after them for no other reason than them driving a noisy car. Taking the cops on chases down thru back roads and country lanes, for the craic, and losing them.

Some thrill seeing them behind you with the lights going but they can't catch you.

Doin laps, goin to meets, racing your neighbour. Hell - even just sitting in the carpark.

And it was almost like a brotherhood of sorts? You seen a modded car stopped looking like it broke down -- it's always a fellow modded car driver that would stop to help you out. They did for sure look out for each other.

Now at 22, and with my penalty points FINALLY wore off my licence from that period, and with a sensible family car, I laugh as I cruise around about my business -- seeing all the runts sitting in the carpark in their mothers ford focus, tryin to look bad ass. Back in the days of real boyracers they'd have been laughed out of the place. Organising the cruises and meets on facebook - giving the cops and the othe dummies the headsup on the situation. Remember the days when that was exclusive, and towards the end, at 2:30, when the guards were unprepared and busy downthe town after the nightclub, when the cars would line up for the finale stuff.

Boyracers today are like the knock off version. Lame.

I kno the old ones were probably lame too but I'll always fondly rememeber all those goons I hung out with

BoyRacers were a great distraction for the Gardaí, So much that if I wanted to skin up a joint, Id pull into whatever petrol station they were at, Park up and roll up, I didn't drive a modified car so I knew if the Gardaí arrived they wouldn't pay me any attention..Fog on.

Why are people calling them losers with no hobbies? I think it's pretty obvious what their hobby is....

I have no interest in cars but some people do and just because they spend some money they have on making their car look good (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) isn't really a reason to ridicule. I think much of the hatred stems on the fact that they are all stereotyped as scumbags and while most boy racers I've met were fúckin arseholes it doesn't mean they all are.

One thing that does piss me off are the excessively noisy exhausts, be it from a modded car or some wánking motorbike. Especially pisses me off if I'm trying to sleep and some kunt is doing laps of the place

No excuse for that kind of thing. They're driving dangerously so it gives you an excuse to do the same?

Chris Hansen

I wonder how the fcuk these kind of lads keep their cars going with fuel costs and no to mention tyre costs, must eat into dole considerably! and +1 they sure do drive by secondary schools at lunchtime


EDIT: When i find it difficult to afford a night out once a fortnight!

Don't be so narrow-minded. There is a huge difference between boy-racers and car enthusiasts. Boy racers buy 1litre cars and stick a hooj exhaust on them to make them sound like lawnmowers. Car entusiasts spend thousands fine tuning their pride and joy, whish is often in the form of had to insure cars, and treat them like babies.

Anyway, didn't a bunch of "boy-racers" (41 cars to be exact) do a nationwide fund-raising drive for the Childrens Hospital in Crumlin last weekend. Want to know how much they raised, in a recession? Over €26,000. Show me "boy-racers" willing to go to the effort to do that for a good cause. http://www.drive4charity.com
