Ending Boy Racer Nerds - New Website
Trev
these Boy Racer Nerds as I am, will be glad to see a new website with the
specific intention of helping us rid our roads of these Mummy's Boys.
www.baddrivers.co.nz is the site.
Still very early days yet, and a ton of work to do, but USE it people!
Email in those Regos, place and time details, lets help the Police be one
step ahead, and shame these fools (and their parents) so they just give it
up.

I think the term 'boy racer' is being used alot. Everyone assumes a
young person (such as myself) to have a vehicle to be a 'boy racer'.
I see myself as a car enthusiest. When something breaks, rather than
taking it to an expensive mechanic, I fix it myself, and learn
something while doing so. However I don't think this will be a career
option for me, but rather just a hobby.
Not everyone with a modified car is a 'boy racer'. There is a large
number of car enthusiests who get annoyed when they get labelled with
the 'boy racer' stereotype. You'll notice that most of them don't
race, and if they do, they race on a legal drag strip, or a race
curcuit. Most of them are members of reknown motorsport clubs.
I realise there are alot of hoons out there, especially in auckland
and wellington. It's those idiots giving most the other people a bad
name. Where does the boy racer stereotype stop? A few weeks ago there
was a Mitsubishi GTO smashed up on Te Irangi (sp?) drive, the driver a
35 year old man. The herald labelled him as a 'boy racer'.
Also, what's with your use of the word 'nerd'? I thought nerds were
pale geeky people really into their computers/electronics. There is
very little chance they would be associating with 'boy racers'.
I think it's nice you are trying to stop this illegal activity. I
agree it needs to be stopped. However making up a website like yours
isn't going to help. Also blaming their parents isn't going to help
either. As if parents have full control over their children at the age
of 18. Most of them have moved out by then.
My 2c.

You ever looked at many of these guys? I would say at least 60% of them are
skinny short little runts with about 1kg of gel in their hair. Years ago
they used to hang around the computer rooms at school. Now, as if in a
pathetic atempt to get girls, they drive around in a modified version of
Granny's car - and seem to think they are no longer nerds because of this.

streets and do their best to deafen everyone within several blocks with
their stereos and poxy taste in music, they are automatically suspect of
boy-racerhood. Young men in cars are just young men in cars unless they
act like jerks with a brand new willie.
Fixing your own car and finding out how it works are admirable pursuits
IMO. Just, when you've got it going, don't test them by driving like an
idiot around town and I for one won't call you boy racers. Maybe you
need a special definition to distinguish yourselves from boy racers -
something that emphasises your more responsible aspect of interest in
cars. Spannermen or something.

LOL.
Have to be honest Fuel.
I have three cars, one a company car.
Two are Japanese (one an import - was thinking the other one was too, but it
is NZ assembled). The company car is a Hyundai.
Shivers, I sometimes put gel in my hair too!
:-0
Oh well.
Anyways - you will find that I will NOT be posting rego. numbers on the
site, mainly due to several 'Boy Racers' already crying and sending me
threatening emails about "close the site down Or we'll get ya".
Such sensible well informed young men.

That was along Te Rakau Drive and what a bloody mess he made over a
large area. The 'boy racers' claimed not to have known the guy and
rumours circulate that he could have been trying to sell drugs to 'boy
racers'.
Nelly.
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :-)

I'm 45 and drive a Prelude VTec manual with mags and all the bells and
whistles. I have had it for 18 Months and have yet to get a ticket
driving it. Both the wife and I prefer to go on trips in it rather
than her Primera. Am I a boy racer also ?.
I also ride a 1978 Triumph Bonneville 750 and get called a bikey. I
prefer the names car and motorcycle enthusiast.
While I disagree with Boy racers and what they do and the threat they
pose to innocent people I think you are misguided in the way you are
going about things.

Wow Corky. You couldn't have hit the nail more squarly on the head
there.
I myself have a '89 Galant. It's NZ-assembled and NZ-new. Has mags and
bells and whistles, but I don't think it goes fast. I don't need it to
go fast really. It's a good comfortable cruising car for open road
driving.

Congratulations, this is what we have needed for a long time. I have a
problem with these Losers and will post the info on the site.
I cannot find the link to do the post, tell me how to do this.

Number two, I don't wear nappies, but I take it you do?
Number three, WTF is a hick?
Number 4 - no, no number four, I just like even numbers.

No. 'Boy racer' is only partly about the car. The biggest part is the
cretinous behaviour of a growing element of young guys in hotted up
cars...
I'm 33 and also have a VTEC 5spd Prelude. Its a nice car. Its completely
factory (no mods at all), and has a basic CD stereo with no subs. Plenty
of boy racers have these cars too, but the difference is mine will last
since I drive it respectfully...

heh, this reminded me of what a friend said to me just after he got a

You must have markedly different "Boy Racers" in your area than in mine.

A little experiment: read your above answer, then find what you were
answering, below. Now imagine how inconvenient that is for reader who
didn't compose your post.

heh, not down here, most of them are 25-35, and have a fairly high
income... me, I seem to get classed with them because Im young(24) and I
like to drive(not quick, not dangerous, just drive).
Also, most of them seem to be NZ-new cars, so not imports, and I would
hardly call japanese cars crap.
