supra_aero Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 This definition of a townie (which I am sure has overlaps with chavs) I thought was hilarious. Apparently taken from the 'urban dictionary' if there is such a thing. "A townie is normally aged between 11 and 15. Listens to so-called 'garage' music such as Blazin' Squad and So Solid Crew, neither of which is REAL garage music; simply pop music with a stammering kid in fake diamonds fronting the band. A townie will normally dress in grubby shell-toed Nike trainers, rolled-up Adidas tracksuit bottoms and an unmatching jogging top, regardless of the sex. If female, the jogging jacket will most likely be pink or baby blue, most likely purchased for £5 at the local market and will have the word 'PRINCESS', 'BABE', 'BLING BLING' or 'FCUK' spelt out in white across the front. If male, the townie's jogging top will most likely be white with blue sleeves, again purchased for £5 at a market; and will have the name of an American city spelt out across the ffront, ie. 'BOSTON', 'DETROIT', or 'CUBA'; ..despite the fact that these creatures are not intelligent enough to know where the places they advertise on their chests are. Most, upon asking, will not even realize that 'BOSTON' is a city. A townie will often smoke because "it's alrigh', innit?". All townies own at least one item of clothing with the disgusting beige/brown Burberry print upon it. Obviously, this garment is not genuine Burberry, and instead of the £400 charged for a real Burberry bag/scarf, will have been purchased for £1.50 down the local market. A female townie will have poorly dyed blonde hair with split ends and two inch long roots, gelled back into an impossibly tight bun/ponytail held by a fake Burberry hair-tie. The ears will also be adorned with at least three fake gold earrings ("only two quid fer eigh' pairs dahwn 'a marke'") and will have some form of acne, vainly covered up by layers upon layers of cheap foundation, blue eyeshadow and neon blusher. Eyes will also be caked with smudged eyeliner and clumpy blue mascara. A male townie will not wear make-up, but will normally have a diamanté stud in one ear and boast that he did it himself. All townies look down upon anyone who: A) is intelligent B) has a future that doesn't involve the words 'McDonald's drive-thru' C) owns an item of black clothing D) doesn't listen to So Solid Crew E) doesn't smoke F) doesn't have a forced Cockney accent G) shows ANY sign of refusal to conform to the masses; ie. INDIVIDUALITY. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Living out in the country a little I've always classed "Townies" as an older couple/family who have moved away to the country side and who think they own the place, act like they have been there forever and generally dont get how smaller comunities work;) As for chavs and cars, again I dont think its Chavs as such with the badly modded Saxo's. More the guys who have just passed their test and want to do something to the cars they have. A lot of it has to be bodywork because they wont get insured for engine mods and therefore cant risk doing them incase a claim is void because of them. Where as a body mod may be over looked in that situation and at worst not included in the claim. I may be being a little kind or have a case for wishfull thinking but Im sure as they get older and have better chance of getting good insurance they can mod cars more tastefully:rolleyes: Having said all that though, I really hate those cars of which we speak. Do what I did, buy something sensable, improve your no claims and get a tidy motor. Though I should have saved more in order to get a TT:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie72 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yes I believe Chav's do drive Supra's A 15 year old car, whilst it looks the doggies, is unfortutantely now within reach of most burger flipping oiks. The only savour is that the Insurance /Petrol and service costs, keep ownership to elite chav's, but chav's nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Has anybody on here paid there due,s and done anthing to there own cars or did you all go from daddys car, to a car daddy paid for. Everybody starts lower down the scale unless you are rich? So the cars are not to your taste, that does not mean there wrong,most of us who have been into cars for a long time cut our teeth on so called lesser cars,THAT IS the idea of making them look different & go faster. May be you all should read up on history of hot rodding, thats what i thought this was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i know we do something similar to the Supra but remember the supra has cirtain level of Preistige ! a Corsa, escort, fiesta doesnt not even close, Some people spend thousands on their corsa's etc when they could buy a NA supra and insure it for the same money.... i know what i would rather have.

Guest CoolsBlue Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Bad spelling... check. Terrible punctuation... check. Used "defo".... check. Generally comes across as a bit of a knob... absolutely. There are 100's of people on here who I would consider "chav", you are one of them. no im not, im not white, i dont think in coloured;) i dont talk all weird, i think your an adult chav rbh:taped::djust look at your supra... what is it you always say...OH YEA HTH... oh yea and is that the hardest thing you could say? knob? ROFL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 By the time these guys have spent all their money on the mods they could have had really nice tidy car in the 1st place. Probably for less too, so the extra could go towards insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendor Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Chav is about actions not looks. Add some mods (tupperware, ironing board spoiler, shell suit, baseball cap) and drive like a nob = chav in my book but it can apply to both Supe and Nova drivers. The only difference to me is the maturity of the owner. A chav will identify themselves by driving about without any regard for anything or anyone and the mods are his 'badge' Non chavs drive with respect for themselves, the public and their car. For a non chav their mods are a statement of their ability and maturity and are enjoyed sensibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be they dont like supras (strange I know ) but taste is your own thing thats why we try to do our own thing, all im saying dont tar everybody with the same brush, ie : my cars not my dads or paid for by him, but a chav ( which means child ) might say that?

Firestorm Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 a townie from my persepective.. infact townies have now turned into chavs.. mostly cos they all hang around in town centres for no good reason...like in america you get kids that just hang out at the mall are mallrats. So yeh kids just tend to loiter about in town.. and do nothing but annoy the public. indie kids NEVER listen to pearl jam.. im not sure they know who pearl jam are... i guess thats now adays though- indie kids these days just dress in like brightly coloured clothes wear cheap beads frm HM and daps and listen to the pigeon detectives. Theres always some 35yr old guy in his Vauxhall astra whos convinced his car is the nuts and will beat every car. the thing that annoys me the most is that yeh F N F has a lot to answer for but in America there is a decent scene for it.. they know there cars can drive them they do them properly and its actually done well- same as in japan for drifting.. over here cos of insurance prices and high priced parts its done poorly and and cheaply just to look cool. the scene is too look better than your mate and krroooozzzz (hehe chav word) around cheltenham inner ring road at 80mph dangerously challenging even the humble 70yr old on his way home from his grandkids! hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
