		At first Boy racer was the name of the AJS 7 R, the 1951 to 1962 350-cc-racemodell.
		It is interesting to note that because of the obvious links between chav culture and car culture the word chav may be used in reference to boy racers.

		Boy racers are notorious for their love of bass, and due to their characteristic lack of any musical appreciation tend to ignore the need for treble and midrange sounds resulting in the thumping noises usually associated with boy racer cars.

		A wideboy is slightly different to a boy racer in that they also deal in minor drugs and have 400 girlfriends, all of whom are under the age of seventeen.

		Boy racer girls are of an attractive species and I would gladly go for one myself, but they are too dedicated to fashion and will spend all your money very quickly, also they'll shag your best mate before you can say Upswept DTM!
