Labeling somebody a cowboy. What warrants this term? What is your interpretation of a cowboy window cleaner?

Three chavs in a mondeo with one bucket two squeegees, and a cheap domestic ladder on the roof. The bucket needs to be placed between the rungs of the ladder for storage, and a couple of wet t-shirts hanging from the back of the ladder.

At least one of the chavs should be bare chested with those jeans that hang round their rrrrs with fake designer underpants clearly visible.

They should also snear at and threaten anybody else in the area who has a ladder on the roof of their van.

OOPS I hadn't finished.

They can often be seen parked in side roads just round the corner of the dole office, where at least one of them will have an appointment.

Another give away is clouds of smoke billowing out of the car windows when they stop for their morning peace pipe ceremony.

I've not seen a Capri since I was at school.

Either a Capri Geeear or The Pratmbobile !
Del Boys Capri isn't a Ghia so not quite there either.
I have an '84 2.8i, owned since '99 and my sixth Capri overall.
Very entertaining !

Six Capris since 1987 - all fairly long lived with the last one owned for fourteen years. I've driven many cars that are better in almost every measurable and technical way but none that make smile as much  :)
