Yep - I'm sure we're not the only ones to have noticed that - the amount of money some of these kids spend on their souped up Nova or whatever, they could get a second hand Lotus Elise for that, far more to likely to impress the ladies and their chavvy friends...

When I think about it I would have to say that about 75% of the town I live in would be considered "chavs", however I just call them white trash or west end trash.  About 20% of the population would be what I consider "normal" people, and the last 5% would be the rich, who would rather try to screw you out of your money by finding ways to sue you than give you the time of day.  Maybe I should consider moving! LOL

In addition to the Marios and Marias, there are aslo the bogans (obviously) who reigned in the same era as the Marios. However, soon the Marios (identified by the mullet) became defunct (early 90s were the time that this species became extinct) whereas the bogan was able to morph! They became the aggressive "homie" modelling themselves on the rapper, and ares till distinguished today as either A) morphed bogan B) aggresive homie (with cap and baggy jeans and whatnot) C) the junkie homie who wreak havoc on the public transport system with their swearing and aggresiveness. Howvever, these last three find their roots in the mulleted bogan of the 80s.


So what catagory does the Kappa/Adidas brigade fall under???  And I am sure that the term Mario (now Muzza) is still widely used, I havn't heard the term "homie" in many years.

 And then all they do is pootle around car parks and sit outside the petrol station in the evening,shouting out "You`re sad" to anyone who goes past.

A while back I was in my local builders merchants, and there was a wanna-be chav behind the counter. After he gave me my change he asked "Wanna buy Ford Sierra?? Put £5 of petrol in it,and you can drive around town all night"
 
 
On schedule, and suing

:lol:



That reminds me - when I was 17, I got a Mk II Toyota Supra. I basically spent a year's wages on it, got a 'grant' from my parents and borrowed another few hundred off them, which I paid off over the next year.

Anyway, that car (which is still in my garage) SHIFTS. It's 2759cc RWD injection that goes like the clappers if you drive it right (which also means not giving it too much gas at the wrong time when going through corners :insane: )

Anyway, this was about 7 years ago or so, when the Ford Escort XR3i was in its heyday. There's a street in my 'home' town, Maidstone, where kids used to hang around with their souped up cars, with their fat stereos with bass boxes etc, and people used to say that they raced along that street.

So anyway, one day I was driving along with a couple of mates, and someone suggests I take the car down that street. So I do....and off we go!
The passenger in the front seat turns the Slayer CD up full blast (alas I didn't have a stupid sound system in my car, as I tended to spend all my money on records and CDS - this is when I worked in a record shop) so my speakers are slowly getting {bleep}ed....

Anyway, I race along the road with this car, trying to overtake it and hitting about 80mph in the process, only to find that all these cars do, is race to the end of the street, seemingly 'in procession' (i.e. not overtaking) turn round, and drive back again :-?

I thought to myself, what's the point in that :-?

Ahhhh... I remember When my old Renault5 finally bit the dust... I borrowed my Mothers Renault Clio... Then I went to pick up my friends and we were driving down to Ryde Seafront (where the 1999 Isle of Wight equivlient of Chavs hung out), and James (my best mate) asked me if we had any music...

I wasn't sure and pull out a tape from the glove box... we wound down all the windows and turned the stereo up to full volume... James put the tape in the machine and swtiched it on...  We got some strange looks as we drove passed all the youths, while head banging to "The Wheels on the Bus go round and round..."

We enjoyed it so much that my Baby brother never got his tape back :lol:
