    No 4x4s in the list of chavmobil's;)

    I drive the new shape Suzuki GV VVT+, the older models were I believe known as hairdressers cars:rotfl:But the new model is a proper 4x4, according to a car show/person - was it Jeremy?

    Hubby drives a Galaxy (see post 7 above:rotfl:) but its not a battered old one, its the new shape ghia model, its very nice.

    The biggest chavs are those who spend £20k+ on a car and can't afford £150 for a hands free kit.

    OR buy a car & don't bother with insurance/tax/MOTs:mad:

    DD drives the Ford KA, the new shape one (very different from the old KAs), unsure what model, but I know its one of the top ones (because I thought she should have got a basic model Yaris), its black with alloys.
    Is a KA chavvy?

    I have to admit to having a son who had a Focus. He lowered it further after this picture was taken and I couldn't even get out of the drive without scraping it. You had to take sleeping policeman at an angle! I ripped his front splitter after parking like that - forgetting it was so low and then reversed back. I wasn't popular. :o

    He's not a chav though.

    I hate low cars (why I like gas guzzlers), I feel like my ar5e is scraping the floor in them.
    DDs BF has a Hyundai Coupe (shes renamed it the Crapae:rotfl:) it sits so low, you can't see anything:eek:

    He now has this car. Not quite so low, but whenever you sit in the driving seat you're almost horizontal! I don't know how he can drive like that.
    He now has a private plate too - so even more chavtastic in some people's eyes. :o

    I couldn't get my shopping in the boot of his Focus for the subwoofer. I still have the original parcel shelf in the house cos he had to buy a new one when he sold it. It had holes where the speakers had been.

    What is the definition of 'Chav'?

    Is it the same as 'Dagenham Dustbin'?

    But surely not... Dagenham dustbin was the car (used to be the escort or cortina). Chav is an uneducated sheep that is on benefits. Or am I wrong?

    I thought Chav's would be uneducated morons (see post above) - which beggars the answer - how could they afford a 20k car? Ah.... kinda worked it out - has to be via an illegal method. No one hard working and honest, could be a chav... surely....

    Do I have a candidate.
    I missed number 5: you must be over 35.
