Quoting: Titsy

Then maybe you should contact Top Gear and verify the card has been burned.

im sorry i have a life unlike my boss who spent 6 months writing letters trying to get a car moved from the wall

As for chavs understanding they just watch the pictures

[300bhp per ton]

Quoting: 55starchief

or as we say chav

Guess we just have different definitions of Chav then.

Quoting: 55starchief

Lets look who owns these so called exotics

You see I would have said RICH people.

Not everyone who owns a nice car is a footballer or a Chav.

Quoting: 55starchief

footballers the biggest chavs out

Quoting: 55starchief

also hooning a car around a track is as pointless as parking it up and not driving it,

Guess it's back to a difference of opinion again.

Personally I'd much rather see a Dodge Viper or Ferrari F430 being driven how it's designed to be at full throttle, tyres smoking and exhaust screaming than watching a diesel Peugeot being driven at 25mph in traffic in the middle of Leeds.


BTW - This is what I consider to be Chav:

Which you don't really see on Top Gear, unless they are making fun of it.

Funny definitions of Chav:

Picture this a young lad about 12 years of age and 4 ½ feet high baseball cap at ninety degrees in a imitation addidas tracksuit, with trouser legs tucked into his socks (of course, is definitely the height of fashion). This lad is strutting around, fag in one hand jewellery al over the over, outside McDonalds acting as if he is 8 foot tall and built like a rugby player, when some poor unsuspecting adult (about 17/18) walks round the corner wanting to go to mcdonalds for his dinner glances at the young lad, the young lad jumps up in complete disgust and says "Whats your problem? Wanna make sommin of it? Bling Bling" when the adult starts to walk towards the young lad, the young lad pisses himself and runs off to either his pregnant 14-year-old girlfriend or his brother in the army crying his eyes out.

Derived from Chatham in Kent, this term can be applied loosely to every culture with a nasty, thieving element. There are many variants of this creature but all are subject to the following commonalities:

Chavs are completely Amoral, having never been subjected to right and wrong by their inattentive, uncaring and often absent parents.

Chavs are part Magpie, evidentially supported by their love of all things shiny, or as vaccuous, illiterate street-slang would say 'Bling'. They can be seen twokking from the Jewelry counter in Argos/Index.

Whatever their ethnic background, Chavs have a built-in affinity to hip-hop/R&B, even if they are inherently racist (see the Scottish). They see their life as glamorous and cool.

Chavs are for the most part, extremely stupid. However, some of them render a form of low cunning, which can be misinterpreted as intelligence. However this is false. A Chav has no desire to better themself through honest means nor learn anything outside of car modification.

All chavs think that they are nails. Again, this is false. Sitting in a beaten up nova smoking lamberts does not precipitate a healthy body. The irony being that a Chav owns mainly sportswear, yet will only break a sweat if running from the police.

Chavs are incredibly fertile beasts, and are highly successful breeders. Where they come unstuck is having to look after the offspring which their 13 yr old drunken fumble produces. More often that not the child will crow to be a Chav, having received no more guidance on life than the parent.

Chavs have a fond love for cars, as well as a Vin Diesel fixation. Rather than buy a nice car to start with, a chav will spend all their dole and tax-free labouring cash on upgrading a 10 year old car with 200,000 miles on the clock. The end product will invariably be a luminous monstrosity with at least one serious collision to it's name.

My mate has become a chav what can i do? answer is shoot him before it is too late

again here we differ, if the tires are smoking it means the car is not getting traction which is wasting power and pointless, you dont see F1 cars smoking tires as the go into a bend or powersliding out of the otherside as it wastes time.

The whole point to driving fast is to be smooth speed is a by product of that.

Ok then maybe chav is to stronger word how about Lad or Yob culture if that pleases you. The kind of bloke that reads loaded or nuts

[Titsy]

To be fair, if you're looking for a chav motoring show then it's Vroom Vroom... Before even getting into the format of the show the name says it all. As far as I can see the only redeaming feature of the show is that Lisa Rogers is one of the presenters... Other than that it's pap... But that just isn't the case with Top Gear, yes it may have changed format from the early days, but it's not chav in the slightest.... Like I said:

Quoting: Titsy

If it was chav then it would be all 'in-your-face' modified cars that are purely cosmetic, draped with scantily clad slappers surounded by 17 year old baseball cap wearing morrons.

and

Quoting: Titsy

because you don't like something doesn't make it chav...

I'm not a chav, and I like it!

No but then again you don't normally see F1 cars on the motorway or popping down to the local shops.

Yes, but there are a lot of rally drivers that would highly dispute that sliding a car is not benficial.



Seriosly I know what your saying, I just don't agree

But hay at least it gives us something to post about

Still don't follow.

I mean damn I may only be 26 but I'm certainly not a lad or yob. Never have I bought, owned or even read Max Power, Redline, Nuts or Loaded.

Infact I totally despise that kind of material and mentality. Quite passionately (ask any of my friends and familiy, lol )

My magzine colections consists of Practical Classic, Classic & Sports Car, Practical Performance Car, Classic American, Custom Car, Bronco Driver Magazine, Land Rover Owner.

Hell why my mates where dreaming of a Nova on 17's and a RS Mk4 Escourt with a dump valve I was driving a diesel Land Rover 90 and a MGB GT. Which I swapped for a TR7 and shoehorned a V8 into and also bought a 5.3 litre V12 Jag.

But I still like Top Gear..........

[Jamieg285]

OK then - Debs is neither a Lad, Yob or Chav.  She isn't really into cars either

But she likes Top Gear.

by that point i was just fishing it didnt really matter waht the debate was about it could have been black is white

I really dont care about who watches Top gear i dont, the fact that the hammod crash was aired the same night as the big brother final just proves that the BBC was after ratings of which they won the most

[Titsy]

That just brings strength to our argument, all the chavs would have been watching Big Brother....

[55starchief]

Quoting: Titsy

no they chose to see a crash

[Titsy]

What can I say but it seems it truly isn't worth the effort of trying to educate the ignorant.... In that respect I suppose you're much like a chav Graeme...

[55starchief]

Quoting: Titsy

What can I say but it seems it truly isn't worth the effort of trying to educate the ignorant

you have yet to come up with a valid reason for watching

[Titsy]

I have all the reasons I need... I wouldn't want to make you watch something you don't want to... Besides, it would lower the credability of the show if you did start to watch...

Quoting: 55starchief

i cant leave anything stock and have to modify everything

That's probably what the owner of this says:

You must be a chav then.

[55starchief]

ah the i cant find a valid reason so i will sink to personal attacks deffence

Bring forth a worthy challenger

[Pod]

Hey, I'm not here to be worthy.

You've completely missed the point of Top Gear though. As said before, it's an entertainment show based around cars. It's not a factual, informative program which car you should buy to go to Tescos in. Mainly because said programs are boring as hell to watch.
Whether you like it or not is completely irrelevant.

Edit: not quite sure why that picture came out so huge...

[Titsy]

It's entertaining, the intent of all television shows there need be no other reason... It appeals to my tastes in viewing, simple as... If you don't like it then don't watch it, but just because you don't like something doesn't make it chav...

[55starchief]

sorted for you mate

[Big Mouse]

I watch TG - its getting a bit boring in its format but still fairly entertaining; it is what it is, a light hearted look at the world of motoring.

Katie Price aka Jordan is far from being a chav - Jordan may be but Katie isn't. How many of you were smart enough to manufacture an alter ego entirely seperate from your home life that could earn what she has?

She's earnt more from shrewd property deals than she ever earnt from getting her norks out. I've had some dealings with a man whose dealt with her on a business level several times - very tough cookie is Katie. A very bright girl who knows exactly what she's doing

I also read Max Power occasionally! - having lost half their readership in the last 12 months they have had to change direction sharpish - they now write about proper modified cars rather than modified novas, etc. Still the odd pair of tits on show (and I do mean odd sometimes!) but overall a much better publication than it was.

As Clint Eastwood once said "opinions are like assholes - everyone has one" Unfortunately there are those amongst us that choose to talk from theirs
