People who modify their cars into racer-type vehicles invariably also view roads as some kind of race track.

Bollox. Some people customise their cars, motorcycles etc because it gives them satisfaction and it looks nice, just like cyclists riding bikes in team colours or wearing team jerseys.

Beat me to it on that.

You can drive like a total cock in a 1L Micra, and you don't have to be <25 to do so either.

Cruising (driving round in circles all night because there is nothing else to do) is generally harmless, and when you hear them "going fast" they are usually doing 20 in 1st gear.

Additionally very few seem to soup up their engines, it's all fake bodywork, so it's still the bog standard 1L lump with a bean tin on the tail pipe to make it noisy. Can easily hump them at the lights with a now 27 year old bog standard SAAB without even trying.
