Troll - In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]

Defo the boy racer as descibed below. (Came across this on the internet, a good description I think.)

Boy Racer

Main use for car: Driving around town centres, music blaring big bore um... boring. Sitting in local car parks. Visiting local "cruises".
   
Primary styling mods: Styling mods purchased with no consideration for the car's aesthetics as a whole. Stupid spoilers, bad bodykits. Bodged installation. Car says "look at me, I'm fast" but is probably sh!t.

Primary performance mods: Whatever they can get their hands on. May not be expertly installed.

Usual car models: Cheap usually low-powered models. 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 litre engines, sometimes larger if the boy racer thinks they can afford the insurance. Mods often make them look worse than standard.

Driving style:  "Pedal to the metal" on public roads. Erratic driving in public car parks. Not all that much driving skill.   

Car Modifier

Main use for car: "Track days", where a car is put through its paces on a race course, or normal driving.

Primary styling mods:  Subtle styling blending in with the aesthetics of the car. Not too OTT. Time and care taken installing mods. Car says "if you know about cars, you know I'm nice"

Primary performance mods: Primarily safety and handling mods. Performance mods aren't used dangerously.

Usual car models: Can be any size car but usually decent cars in their own right sans modification.
 
Driving style: Careful on public roads, but not averse to driving fast at special events.

No standard GTI's of any MK frankly, you wanna watch out for me mwahahahahaha!

Did a MKV up to 90 recently and owned one on a trackday at silverstone. :evil:

Edit: And before anyone points it out I know it doesn't really count as mine is not even close to a daily but it still makes me laugh when my 23 year old "Shed" gives them a few surprises.

i'll give any gti a fair go in my shed

To prove what exactly?

i have a lot more fun but spent a lot less cash and a more rare car  :huh:

what car do you drive?  is it the one in your signature cause if it is i wouldn't race you.  i would be too busy laughing!!  :laugh:

This is a very typical new car owner attitude. Dont understand history / classic cars / etc and dont know what theyre looking at half the time.
Just cos it doesnt look like its fast or cost the owner 25k + 3k a year depreciation, dont mean that it isnt any good  :wink:

then again, i wouldnt expect a new audi rs4 driver to know what a rs2, URCQ is, so i guess its fair enough.

i'm more than appreciative of older cars.  but that particular one is a piece of sh1t.  in my humble opinion.

 :laugh: :laugh:

I'm always wary of Golf Mk V 2.0 diesels  :grin:

Had one or two young male drivers (probably company car drivers who could'nt have a GTi) trying to prove a point against my previous Gti and current R32.

They're quite quick once on the move, but are put in their place away from a standstill  :laugh: :drool:
