Default Tonight with Trevor McDonald: Boy Racers

This is on 2nite at 8:00 on itv1. Should be interesting to see if they can or will portray the fact that not all drivers with alloy wheels and bodykits should be classified as "Boy Racers".

I certainly dont consider myself as one as i dont drive around at twice the speed limit at every opportunity or wheelspin off lights whenever possible.

I have a fairly quick car and i like how it looks and i will be interested to see how they class "Boy Racers" on a fairly high profile show.

Just thought id see if anyone will be watching this and their expectations and afterwards their opinions

Part of this episode was filmed at a local weekly meet up near me in Stockport, If the local numpties were filmed then IMO it would class anybody driving a slightly modified car as a boy racer, and not show that some of these people are actually decent civilians (who dont know where the pub is on a cold night )

Going to be a pretty boring program if its a load of respectful modified car enthusaists not doing donuts or burnouts, so you can pretty much guarentee the basic message will be:

anyone who likes cars is a goat raping satanist who likes to torture old ladies

Think it will be the more typical saxos, corsas and fiestas as more powerful expensive cars will be owned by people with tv licenses so they wont want to piss them off

I fucking hate boy racer nobbers.

Which makes me a total hypocrit really as I was one.

I was sat in traffic behind some muppet in his pearlescent Corsa yesterday with his bass box booming and felt so tempted to wind my window down and tell him just what a total wankbiscuit he looked.

That's a serious bone of contention for me. got Sky+ for the folks as one of their Christmas presents last year, 50 quid it was. Now I want it, and it's 200 quid! Not a chance in hell when I know it's only worth a nifty

saw adverts for this earlier on

there was a writeup in local paper yesterday about another young couple killed in a car, both under 20 and one of the local plod put it

" they buy a 2 door hatchback, put a big 1800 engine in it and then go and crash it, the only reason they put these engines in is to rag them about"

or something like that, they havent got a bloody clue

get a fooking grip for gods sake, theyve even started sending fire engines out to where the cars kick about to highlight the dangers of boy racing

It will have shit wedding cake Corsas and whatnot at a crooz which will make them look like the cunts they are.

And IF it has street racing etc on it you just know its gonna be full of gold chained chavs in RS Turbos and shonky Saffs dont you, as they always have.

Itd be a shame if it makes everyone with a modded car look a complete nobhead, but the people in the films are almost always utter nobheads, so if it cunts them off thats not a bad thing really.

Considering the Trevor McDonald programme is the least hard hitting, most poorly researched "documentary" programme ever made, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a piece of incisive journalism!

Oi Pon! I've just realised I've just celebrated my second birthday with you about and I've just realised that yet again you got the bloke a drink but not me.

Scumbag.

You should have got out, walk over to him and screamed "Are you deaf", you get looks of approval from fellow motorists

If thats how they classify "Boy Racers" then that isnt me!
Some of those people are insane, My car certainly isnt the prettiest of things but i like it enough that i wouldnt want to go that fast and risk damaging it, me or anyone else.
Some people may get there kicks out of going fast and as long as they can handle it then it wont matter as they wont crash.
But im of the persuasion id rather be safe than sorry.
We have those sorts of gatherings around here with 100's of people in car parks and the police just bust it everytime and it has been known to have your car impounded.
Worryingly there were alot of saph cossies on their and 1 escort cossie! Now i certainly wouldnt drive around like a dick if i had one of them.
Anyway mini-rant over!
