Just a quick question as I am dutch:

What is 'ASBO' standing for? I find this word in several articels about cars and also on this forum. Seems like it has something to do with very good tuned cars I think.

I like to hear it.

Cheers, Wim

Anti Social Behaviour Order - it's kind of like a small criminal conviction for offences that you don't go to jail for. something like standing on a street corner and drinking and shouting

you may see it in car articles about the focus st as the idiot clarkson on top gear called the orange version that, presumably because it is loud and naughty

Wow, totally different than what I expected! So if I am correct it's not good when people tell you you've got an ASBO car?

Last issue of FF I remember a pic of a ford with a sign with 'ASBO ST' under the hood. I thought it was something to be proud of.. So it's not at all.

Thanks to you guys for the quick explanation!

I don't see any mention of Focus ST

It usually means you have drank too much cider and beat a disabled man up in the park and tipped him out his motability scooter

Most of the people who get an ASBO (not the car) are actually proud of them.

A friend of mine got one for smoking baccy through a weed pipe (no joke) & hes framed it & put it on his wall!
