New era of 'boy' racers

Hi Folks,
I regularly drive down the Small Heath bypass in Birmingham in the early evening. It's 2 lane plus a bus lane, 40 mph, it's usually busy so most times there is someone who thinks the bus lane is for there personal use and the boy racers like to weave in and out in there Corsas. This Wednesday was a new experience. The boy racers were driving an early Nissan Micra and an early Honda Jazz both with noisy exhausts etc. Not the first choices for tarting up that spring to mind. Maybe times are harder than I thought. I wonder how 'cool' there mates thought they were?

Ray.

Ah yes, the older Honda Jazz. As driven by James May's mum, if memory serves? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qLZMKpWsjk

Honda Jizz, sorry, Jazz, noisy exhaust is usually one that the cat has been nicked from. Although I have to agree that neither the Micra nor Jazz are first, or even last, choice for the boy racers!
