Quote from Takumi_lfs :What was his point?

Leave it out now, thats get back to a nice calm friendly discussion about Jakg's Car lol.
Quote :Why can't we see your partners picture?

Getting asked for pics of me and my GF is getting tiring. She'll post pics of herself if she wants too, which she does on the forums of the game she plays - but she dont post pics of me there and i'm not posting pics of her here. That's the way it is.

This forum is full of guys, so why dont you all post pics of your misses' if you want those kind of thrills? Hell, maybe even Jack will get his dad to take a photo and you can get some real car porn photos?
Nah, it was just a joke.

Didn't really wanted to make you mad.

She is a woman, it doesn't take a lot to make them mad

My psychiatric history agrees with you !
I think you're doing Tristan wrong. He doesn't think he's better than anyone else, he simply thinks (and very grudgingly I have to admit it's true) that he's better than you.

Now to get back on the "Who's a chav" topic:

In the car world, a chav is a person who modifies his car with useless at best or even dangerous additions. A quick glance on what would make you qualify as a chav:

1) Rims: You don't even have to have alloy wheels, just calling them "rims" makes you a chav. There are nice wheels admittedly, but as soon as you use broader tyres than the car has stock and/or rediculously large wheel diameters (say 2-3" larger than the stock wheels), you are a chav. Don't even make me mention chrome and spinners.

2) Spoilers: If your car features one, you're a chav. Even if it came with the stock car. Spoilers have no purpose in oridnary traffic.

3) Exhausts: As a rule of thumb: if you can fit a fist into your exhaust, you're a chav. Even more so if you just bolted a "phat" pipe on the end without upgrading the whole exhaust system.

4) Sideskirts: See "2) Spoilers".

5) Soundsystem: Every pound spend more than you'd need to listen to musik and the traffic announcements when going on the topmost legal speed is a pound that directly increases your personal chav meter. For every speaker that exceeds the car limit of four, your chav meter multiplies. A subwoofer multiplies it by 5.

6) Paint: Painting a car with the intention to draw looks rather than to prevent rust = you are a chav. Thinking that "vinyls" look cool makes you a chav.

7) Lowering the "ride": Every milimeter your car is lower than it was right out of the factory makes your chav count go up. Having a lowrider style jumpedy-jump suspension: chav alert.

8) Nitrous Oxide: Unless you are a professional drag racer, you are a chav if you have one of those. On a second thought: most dragracers would qualifiy as chavs anyways...

SO that should make everything clear. Ans sam, I'm sorry to say so, but you are one archetypical chav.

EDIT: Damn, answered prematurely, there were still 2 pages of this thread to read. Well, tough luck.

Why keep bringing the subject back up, we have left it out, ok I will just have to say to you lot I am a chav as far as cars go, I am not a chav as in clothes etc... I will just have to say to make you happy, where modified cars are concerned I am a chav, but only where cars are concerned. There can we leave it now, let it drop.
LoL! Sam your dad is probably a bigger girl blouse than you! Don't start making threats because to me thats a threat and one that will never happen anyway so its pointless saying he will do this and that when in reality he will do jack sh*t. Get out of your little dream world, boi!
Some things are so painful they're no longer funny...

Didn't you once threaten me with a face pull of fist a couple of years back in a disagreement about something? In retaliation I invited you to a race meeting of mine, which I notice you didn't take up

Cadwell in a couple of weeks! Interested?

Went last week, too late You were no fun anyway....
Poof!

*runs away*
I haz conquered my car!

Drove it to the Chippie with my Mum screaming "WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR!" and my Dad shouting "JUST F****** GO!" at the same time when I was at a T-Junction was.... fun.

Never driven a Petrol until now - bit different to my Diesel Fiesta Learner Car (Slowly release the clutch in that and it will pull up to 10, do that in my car and stall). Gears are different, too (needs to be in 5th do to 50 comfortably and 2nd is barely higher than 1st)...

Time to drive over to the GF's later and then drive back. In the dark.

(Yes, i'm trying to go on-topic - mainly because by Tristan's definition my car (with it's factory spoiler) makes me a chav!)

Your clutch on your car just has a different biting point then the one on the learners car.
It may do but i've yet to memorise the location of the biting point yet...
Quote from Jakg :It may do but i've yet to memorise the location of the biting point yet...

It wont matter if you do memories the biting point, because all cars will be different, my step mums audi has a different biting point then the one on her Corsa.
He's likely to only be driving the one car (for now) so it will help that he learns the biting point on his Wira. That said, you should be able to feel it, in any car.
Quote from beefyman666 :He's likely to only be driving the one car (for now) so it will help that he learns the biting point on his Wira. That said, you should be able to feel it, in any car.

True, you should be able to feel it, when I went for my drifting experience in a RST I found the biting point very quickly and was easy to learn. He doesn't really want to just learn the biting point on the Wira though whilst doing his lessons/test would he? because he will go for the biting point of the Wira in the Fiesta and he could over rev or stall it, or would he be fine?
Quote from sam93 :Please explain how putting thousands of pounds worth of quality sound equipment into a car makes you a chav, actually how does modifying your cars by spending thousands on them make you a chav, does this mean people from the likes of WestCoast Customs are all chavs?

This whole idea that spending lots of money makes things/you better is rather chavish.

Quote from sam93 :How do you know people who are in them and their readers no nothing about cars, you dont. People who have their cars in their are mechanics, work in bodyshops etc...

Mechanics are required to know how cars work? We had someone come round from next door suggesting we position the air intake vent behind the radiator to 'get some nice warm air for the engine'.

Quote from sam93 :I may wear Rockport, Timberland etc... but that is just because I can afford it, this still doesn't make me a chav

Your brand conscious and choose expensive brands, that is a proper case of chavishness.

Quote :I am not poorly educated I am going to be getting A's, B's and C's as they are what I am predicted, so I dont think I am a chav at all.

They are getting easy. Seriously if you can't get 10 A-Cs without trying you should worry.

Quote from sam93 :Ok, you haven't even seen my writing ability. I don't take care whilst replying to a forum post, there isn't any need to take care in posting on forums.

If it takes effort to write coherent sentences you are either very lazy or a thick little shit...

Quote from sam93 :And it continues, leave it out, and he is not a girls blouse.

Well he probably wouldn't make such a fuss if he fell off his bike...
Quote from sam93 :Your clutch on your car just has a different biting point then the one on the learners car.

I guess you missed the part where he said it was a diesel that he learnt on.

Just getting used to driving cars is the most helpful thing to do, you shouldn't memorise the biting point based on pedal travel. You should find it from feeling the pedal and what the car is doing.
Quote from Jakg :(Yes, i'm trying to go on-topic - mainly because by Tristan's definition my car (with it's factory spoiler) makes me a chav!)

Even I'm not harsh enough to say that a factory fitted spoiler on your first car makes you a chav. If you'd ordered the car with it as an optional extra then perhaps, but not on a second hand car where styling and performance are secondary to it being a cheap (but reasonably safe and reliable) run-about.

So no, your car isn't chavvy. How could it be with an £8 sound install!?
I will be driving my car (to practice in) and the instructors Fiesta for all my lessons and my test.

Still finding it much harder to "hear" the biting point in my car though - much prefer the instructors Fiesta but alas how am I meant to afford one?

Lets Rice Ma Car, y0!
