A level headed young male between the age of 17-25 who
sensibly makes modifications to his vehicle to improve performance. The use of offensive stickers, spoliers borrowed from
British Airways, clear tail-lights that give you a headache and practical rims that cost more than the car are all well implemented by the boy racer. As
all boy racers are aware, such modifications make a car not only cool but endlessly faster. Most
boy racers obtain this valuable information from such reliable sources as their mates.
Boy racers are also known to drive recklessly, as doing so clearly helps in impressing the opposite sex and compensating for sexual inadequacy. The effect that this has on sensible motorists and elderly pedestrians is generally not taken into consideration. It is not a widely held belief amongst boy racers that motorists will eventually tire of them and encourage them off the road with a nudge from a pick-up truck, or pedestrains will get a sudden surge of adrenaline and hurl a rock through their window and/or plastic spoiler. However, some motorists theorise this will happen.
In conclusion, boy racers make excellent 'airfix' style modifications to their vehicle and spend an admiral amount of time and money modifying a cheap, crappy car with a small engine. Srangely, these modifications never seem to improve performance. They also drive with extreme charisma, few people could claim to handle a vehicle with such spectacular
incompetance.
Just don't ask them to
change the oil filter, drive up an incline or reverse a trailer.
Typical boy racer: A young lad possesing a greater amount of hair wax than brain cells, in posession of a
Citroen Saxo 1.1 litre which his mother has paid for and has
sensibly had the kind of money spent on it with which you could conceivably buy a decent car.
