If you choose to spend any length of time in the carpark of their local McDonald's drive-through, you will sooner or later observe members of the Modified Cars scene. Despite being so devoted to "improving" their cars that they are willing to spend many thousands of pounds making a typical family saloon faster than a Ferrari, these enthusiasts - often no more than teenagers - are oddly unaware of the long and venerable history of their hobby, as one will discover if one is able to find such a car playing substandard drum'n'bass music at a volume sufficiently low and with a driver of sufficient intelligence to allow conversation to take place.
In-Carriage Entertainment[edit | edit source]
Local newspaper reports from the 18th Century tell stories strangely familiar to modern readers of groups of young people (almost entirely male) meeting and showing off their highly customised carriages in the carriageparks of pie shops, often engaging in illegal street-racing and causing a nuisance by turning their in-carriage entertainment system pipe organs up to full power in an effort to achieve aural domination over their peers. The Kensington Bugle detailed just such an occurrence on the 23rd of July, 1767, when it reported that
| “ | "Reſpectable reſidents of our Borough complained that they were forced to withgo much ſleep laſt night after large numbers of so-called Modified Carriage enthuſiaſts deſcended upon the diſuſed yard at the rear of Mr. Kenneth's Pie ſhoppe. A Gentleman and his good ladye Wife, who occupy a houſe adjacent to the Yard, said that they were kept awake by "muſick" including Pachelbel's Canon (D minor remix), Handel and Rameau "play'd at ear-splitting volume until at leaſt four hours past Midnight." The Peelers told reporters that whilſt they were aware of the cruiſe, the event was Peaceful and they were unable to take action aſ a reſult. "There iſ no law againſt thiſ sort of Public Gathering," said Sir Benedict Chuffley-Sniggerſ, yeoman and Juſtice of the Peace, "But citizens can be Aſſured that had any crime hath been committed, we'd have piled in with the Truncheonſ and Cſ gas to kick some seriouſ Arſe." | ” |
