The definition of the term chav is perceived differently by different people. To a hardcore 'hippy'/newage type, a chav for them probably encompasses a fairly broad range of people, etc etc...

Which begs the question: How does a chav define a chav? Does chav know he is a chav?

I sometimes drive fast in 30's 40's when there's nobody walking about (fast as in up to 35-45 very quickly though!) but on the motorway I always stay at 65mph.

A chav is someone who tucks his ****-stoppers into his socks, wears a hooped jumper and finishes it off with a cap, his fave saying is "Yeah mate." He listens to dance and only dance.

A chav is nothing else.

I'd say no - that's half the fun in labelling them - in the chav's eyes they think they're cool with their trousers round their ankles, their pants hanging out, hoodie on and cap rotated on their head to about 20 degrees, whilst saying "like" and "you know" every other word and toking on a Lambert .
Oh - not forgetting having no respect for anyone and anything.

Cogito ergo sum, a chav.

Can't remember now, forgot!
Thinking back i thought it was subaru stickers but dunno

I will have done it myself in my Capri days, all beit with a blowing exhaust doing burnouts at lights in Manchester at about 2am

It is different when you do it yourself than when you witness someone else caning it

Each to their own tho sticker wise, not for me
I had a modded Sunbeam Ti in the early nineties (wish I had it now) and bought it with stickers, first thing I did was to get them off, looked top after, nice shiny black paint with hooooge cibies, then took them off

I love scoobs and always will and will get my ra back one day for now I'll stick to ( in my. Opinion and to be honest sod everyone elses) wagon . Practical for the family, makes the noise although does not make my butt cling to the seat in fear like the ra did haha and is still a scoob x
Lol I have the complete opposite I drop my two off at nursery and the kids and teachers (all ladies in there 20's ) love my car they all tell the kids to get by the window and listen to my car as I drive past. Making future Scooby chav's??? Maybe but who cares makes them smile makes me smile love my scoob and always will.
