They also tend to do this to their cars, I think all you P1,22B and type r owners should be worried about this i think it is definatly the way forward. Lightweight shell, no heat soak due to extra vents. And those wheels are just pure class. And the extra downforce the wing must produce.

The term "Chav" seems to have become a much used word recently, but I wonder how "old" people think it is??

As far as I can make out, "Chav" is quite a new word to describe a certain type/style/class of individual.

I live in the North East and since the early 90's, I can remember the term "Chava" (pronounced charver) been used to describe a very similar group of people. At the time, it was the shell/track suit "raver", with little, or no education and a penchant for stuff like tabs (cigarettes), tack (marijuana) and TWOCC'ing.
They could often be found in rave clubs and it was often comments like "oh...he's a right little chava" which were used to describe one of such ilk.

Did "Chav" originate from "Chava" (charver), or is it just a more Southerly version of the same word?? Seems to me that they are basicall the same thing, but the "Chav" has moved on to Burberry, Corsas with bodykits and illuminated washer jets (**** lights).
