UK: Ever noticed that when you see a young lad driving a car whilst wearing a baseball cap...?

Question

... he may as well have "I DRIVE LIKE A MORON" written across the top of his windscreen? The cars are usually pieces of c**p with a full body kit, lowered springs, illegal exhaust and a stereo with more power than the engine.

Answer 1

The other one is why is it always an older balding/grey haired bloke driving the flashy sports cars. Turns your head and then you soon turn back again!

Answer 2

Sounds cool

Answer 3

We like the cars, the cars that go boom.

Answer 4

You forgot the illegally tinted windows, and no Tax MOT or Insurance.

He is off to the illegal cruise to annoy anyone within a 500 yard radius.

Answer 5

Uk have small, narrow streets, with small, tiny cars! It's kind of g*y!

Answer 6

Thats so true!!!

I drive a Corsa SRi as a *weekday* car and and these baseball capped morons always want to *race* me. FFS I'm 38, married with 2 kids. I don't even rise to it, I can just imagine what the baseball capped moron's saying to his mates when he meets them to go croooozin.........."I just blow away this bloke in a SRi on the way here!". Muppet I grew out of that 20 years ago!!.

Answer 7

Not only the dark windows and huge exhausts, they always seem to be practically lying down when driving!!!  plus the windows down so we can hear the lovely music!!!

Answer 8

Yep, we got them over here in the U.S. as well.................

Ricers.................

A person who makes unnecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder.



- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747.



- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool .

- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself .

- Body-kit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire .

- Clear tail lights and corner signals.

Answer 9

yep, over here in the US we call 'em "rice burners" you also gotta love their silly "coffee can" exhaust tip and their silly 80" wheels that have no rubber unless wrapping your rims with a rubber band counts.

Answer 10

Boy racers, UK roads wouldnt be the same without them!!!

You can also guarantee that they will be driving Corsa's or Peugeot's.

You forgot the darkened windows.

Answer 11

Ahh, Boy Racers, someone has to provide comedy on the road.

They can be ussually be spotted doing laps of town centres for no reason, in their Citroen Saxo Forte, Vauxhall Corsa SXi or similar underpowered FWD hatchbacks. Ussually complete with 'massiv' 17 inch alloy wheels, lexus style tailights, 16V badges and if you are really lucky you may hear some terrible music being played through their "massiv system".

When they are not "cruzin" around town centres, you can ussually find them chasing eachother down dual carriageways, topping their cars out at a massive 105 mph, but they'll tell you they were doing 125MPH.

They then proceed to try and "drift" around the nearest roundabout, because they've seen The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift, but somehow can't figure out why there 65BHP FWD cars wont do it.

They then go onto pick up there 14 year old girlfriends, who only want to be with him for his "wikid car", they then go onto reproduce and in 17 years it will all happen again, its just a vicious circle. Thats why when you see one of these cars. Ram it off the road, preferably into a large ditch.

Answer 12

this is because the person is young.. and wants to experiment.. or he is trying to be like others.. when he gets older than the kind of car. the hat way of dress and everything will change.. just dont make eye contact with them.. ignore them you will be better off. ok gilermo.

Answer 13

as far as I can tell they are international, you get them, slightly modified; all over the world. Usually with some dumb bimbo just wishing for her name to be on his sun visor! Except in Arab countries or Pakistan where they wish to be one of the names on his sun visor. Why is it that girls start off so smart, then hit puberty and fall for some snot nosed kid with the IQ of a cucumber?
