chavvy...wot exactly is chav?

i like LED's on a bike, so long as they are well placed and theres not too many of them they look good, more imporatntly they are very visible at night.

Rim tape, yep i like that too, thinking about luminous yellow for my blueK4.

so long as mods are done tastefully its all rosie...

I usually aim pretty close, hilarious when they do actually hear you and run

Someones making sense, I'm not sure what makes it chavvy that's why I question it. As you say what is chav? Why does something that some people don't like define it as chavvy? Perhaps it just means "its different and I don't like it"

I don't know much about chav, but I know what I dislike.
