right come on lads, boring what car next

Well, I've just bought a Fontera.  I wanted something big to lug around building materials and deal with trips to the dump - basically any job where I don't want to take the M3 out.  Thought about an Omega, but it was a bit boring.  The Frontera will happily carry loads of stuff, and I'm also planning a few off-roading jaunts, a whole new world of petrol-powered fun for me !

Bask in the gloriousness of the £740 Frontera - CLICKY

At the weekend, I'll be fitting these and a 2" lift kit, then at some point taking it here.  Sod £200 track days that kill a set of tyres & brakes in an afternoon, off-road is where it's at

Have you seen how easy it is to borrow money at the moment ?  And the number of not-very-bright people who get themselves so deep into debt that they have to declare personal bankruptcy ?  Those are the chavs buying things they can't pay for !

Even the E46 is getting into the hands of chavs now.  I hate to say it, but I sometimes feel uncomfortable driving my E36 for fear of being grouped with baseball cap-wearing oiks in kitted 318s

I think my definition of a chav and yours are different.

I would have said a chav was a person who wear a fake burburry cap, lots of cheap chunky gold plated jewelery, a tracksuit with the bottoms tucked into the socks. They are also on the dole or playing truant from school and wouldn't dream of working for a living. Their main  asperatiuons in life are to get stoned, get their girlfriend knocked up so they can get a council house and sponge off the state for the rest of their lives.

I wouldn't class the max power brigade as chavs since to be able to afford a stupid bodykit for you corsa you need a job, or at least you need a job to get finance even if you can't afford to pay it back.
