boy racer

Someone who drives a slow underpowered car, like a 1.0l Vauxhall Corsa, modified with cheap non-functional parts from eBay. Includes a big glue-on bodykit with fake vents, a cheap big spoiler or rear wing which doesn't do anything, and lots of stickers, which the owner thinks add 5hp each. The car will often also have a set of fake BBS wheels, as well as red brake callipers and discs, which they think add power. The car will usually have some of the suspension removed, to make the car look lower (even though doing it this way compromises handling), and a massive fartcan exhaust that the owner could fit their head in. The point of this loud, power-sapping exhaust is to draw attention to how awful the rest of the car is. Loads of loud speakers inside the car so everyone outside their car can "appreciate" their "tunes".

The driver drives badly. He thinks:

1) that the car should be bouncing of the rev limiter for at least 5 seconds before he upshifts.
2) the McDonalds car park is a racetrack
3) that they are professional racing drivers

Boy racers are idiots who think stickers add power
