The amazing Boy Racer Poll!

**SPORK** · 18th October 2004, 21:25

So, when you are on the road (bike or cage) and you see a boy racer, what are your feelings about him/her?

Personly I feel sorry for them, but dislike them at the same time.

So, go ahead, get a load off your chest.

Or a V10?

Dodge, anyone?

My dad's V8 is fun though, especially burning all the BR's off at the lights

It's sometimes quite funny too watch them go round and round and round and round and round the square (You get the picture). Can't help feel sorry for them.

You no I realy like the stupid ones (old dunggers with the home job mods)
it always cracks me up.

But the thing not to forget is we have all got a little boyracer in us

I mentioned in a (much) earlier thread about a boy racer in a loud-as Datsun 1200 with about $6K worth of wheels/tyres on it that I blew into the weeds with my (bog standard) Mazda ute. Just gotta laugh...
What I HATE is rotaries, booming stereos, suspension cut too short to fit shock absorbers in and welded diffs. Rule 303 for them, I reckon.

As for the bit of boy racer in all of us - I am a street sleeper fan myself. Have been ever since I saw a 71 Valiant running a 440 magnum with no external give-aways other than some slightly wide tyres. Well, they were considered wide in 1975!

I am also a street sleeper fan..... I went looking for boyracers last friday night when i was on the CBR1100, very dissappointed to see noone wanting a race

Try staying in a pub or hotel when away on work, it is not funny when you get no sleep. In fact it is not uncommon for me to say FUCKEM SHOOTEM at midnight or later in the morning.

The lower the car the better veiw I have over the top

Also these dude and dudesses hang around the city which is fine by me. The misses gave some a tounge lashing a few days ago for cutting in on the inside of her Civic in town, twits. Most of the ones I've seen on the open road have been having conversations with the nice men with the flashing red n blue lights or fallen off the road (seems they don't handle corners at high speed too well).

That's what I liked about the original Legacy GT and GT wagon. Apart from a low-profile slot in the bonnet and the "GT" badge, the first your typical boof-head Commodore owner knew about them was watching one recede into the difference. *Hate* the new Imprezas.

Also *hate* the ternd to the "Pimp My Ride" style of dressing a car up and making no actual performance modifications.

What do you "hate" about new Imprezza's = just the look? Ever driven an MY02 WRX or later _hard_ ? Amazing cars. We drive many different demos, from Lianas (reasonably priced car!), commodores, just about the enitre range of mitsubishis (including light commercials), falcons (including a pre-prod XR-6 Turbo), focuses (focii?), z cars, Rx's, remeura wank-tanks, the list goes on. I have driven few (if any) 'stock' cars that handle so well. You can be a totally ham-fisted fool, drive waaay too fast and still keep the buggers on the tarmac. Although a little small for daily use, I rate them as one of the best (new) cars I've ever driven. But if it is jsut they way they look that puts you off, then yeah, they ain't pretty...

Yup. I loved the Legacy "Q-cars"; I hate the "look at me, I've got a fucking huge bonnet scoop and pink Subaru Technica stickers everywhere" of the high performance Impreza.

Nah. Not likely to, either (and I'm realistic enough to admit that pretty much any modern performance car is a way better car than I am a driver...). I'd feel like a plonker in one, unless I was buying it to rally. And they'd be an absolute ticket magnet.

**SPORK** · 19th October 2004, 12:09

Ahh yes, I was in UH the other day, and saw the same cars drive by (was at the bus stop) no less then 2 times each. All had booming stereos, custom wheels, and dumbass drivers.

Really makes you wonder where the world is going...

**Motoracer** · 19th October 2004, 12:18

They still have more car hoes than we have biker chix, so you can't really feel sorry for em.

Although, it was good to see good numbers of Kiwibiker females on the Waikato Rally!

**MOTOXXX** · 19th October 2004, 13:05

i grew out of the whole boy racer thing but i never did get into it that much.

The lower hutt car park cracks me up tho. How fukin boring is that. I went a few times when i was younger. U just sit around watching people drive past for a couple hours and then go do laps round town. Personaly id rather go out to a bar or a club.

the thing that annoys me is that people stereotype me as a boy racer because i have 17" mags, large exhaust and lowerd springs.

Car hoes aint so great. They get realy annoying after a while and wish they would piss off.
