Boy Racer: Fast & Furious In The UK

Featured Replies



Since the trend of teenagers modifying their "affordable" cars with go-faster stripes, neon under-lights, and dump valves really took off in the 90s, the media and public have been wary of boy racers. The British government has attempted to force them out of town centers with surveillance, and the cops spend their nights hunting them in unmarked cars.

Understandably, this has driven boy racers to abandon the bright lights for industrial areas, country lanes, and parking lots where they can blare happy hardcore, jungle, bassline, and pull off handbrake turns to their hearts' content.

In the film, we follow the boy racers as they try—with varying degrees of success—to unify the scene in their local area. In Essex, we find car meets with hundreds of kids in kitted up cars, showing off luxury paint jobs and bass systems that ruin their girlfriends' hair dos. And in North London, boy racers take to highways to find their own fun—which, in the past, has had grave consequences.

The summer brings with it super-sized car festivals, where everyone goes to race, get wasted and get their picture taken with pouting, bikini-clad promo models.

Cars get scrapped, street races get dangerous, and things get wild in a parking lot. Boy Racer is a timely spotlight on what kids in souped-up cars are doing today, or tonight, in every town in the UK.

Like watching the MCM video all over again, while I'll appreciate people love their cars, this is just another video to make us all look like prats. Nice to see Bignall from Police Interceptors in the show.

Anyone seen this?

I haven't seen it and I don't think I'll bother.

Reading the quote, it looks like they have followed a few rich chavs in London and are trying to tar the whole of the modified car scene with the same brush!

Since when has the ace cafe been in essex lol

I watched the first 10mins of that vid..

They all seem stupid chavs.

The guy with the escort van... Jesus.

It does get better half way, then shit again.

Complete spooners, where do they find these people!

seen this a few weeks back, load of shite

i think someone posted it on edition a few weeks back and i watched it then. I think they portray the typical modified car owner to be a geordie piss head chav who sits at car shows revving the tits off his scooby and blowing it up, when in most cases that isnt true.

Didn't realise this sort of shit still went on. back when I started driving everyone was down at the local car parks and racing around, never see anyone doing it these days tho

Looks like a good drive feeling to you. Ha ha well good to see the video here.
