Barry-lap

To drive round and round a town one way system or town centre, in today's scally car of choice (yesterday a MkII Fiesta/Nova, today a Saxo or 106).

They were sitting outside the Duncombe Arms watching the scallies barry-lap in their modified but somehow still poor-effort excuse for motor vehicles around and around the town centre, with ghastly pseudo-modern R&B blaring from the speaker system.
