Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    And bam, there's another error.
    There should be an E36 doing donuts with a felt spec B4 sitting in the corner shouting BOOOOOO.

    See what I mean. All I was saying was VW,Audi and BMWs have become a big part of the Boyracer scene in recent years.

    Reason being is they are easier insure and if it's a diesel it's cheaper to run while at the same time having a bit more power than it's petrol counterpart.

    Insurance companies are behind the curve when it comes to high risk and so Jap imports are still astronomically high while the TDI (red D, red I :pac:) crowd are below the radar.

    i think the problem of diff(lol)rentiating between a boyracer and "enthusiast" is due to the fact that there is so much common ground between them.

    if you are a genuine MCE and happen to like/have a car that's unfortunately used often by muppets, then that's you tarred.

    if you are a genuine MCE and want to disassociate yourself from muppets, you've basically limited yourself to either a very expensive car, or a crap/gay one that no boy racer would go near :rolleyes:

    Completely agree.
    Found an old video that interviews different car owners on the whole 'boy racer culture'.
    This subaru owner tells it like it is:

    What a pair of knobs.
    Never mind the massive chrome and Lambo doors. They're clearly not in control of their cars, blocking traffic and there were people around.
    Horrible ***** really.
