Jol, if you're on this with me I recks we need a rethink to accommodate these thoughts.

1) guysup - pengy is still great as it is not "peng" - but in pointing it out you've highlighted something
2) skeletonboy - flickwg consciously worked on his bike to be rather pengy before the term existed, therefore it's not true pengy culture - but in pointing it out you've highlighted something.

That something is some sense of the aspirational, ie the manifest intent to bling something up coupled with the astonishing shortfall of their efforts in the final product no matter what got thrown at it in the process.

Therefore the original definition has to be revised a little bit to include these important subtleties.

is that maybe because he's a 40+ year old middle class white bloke who likes knit wear, pretending that he is an 18 year old black kid from the streets of broklyn who likes glocks and 9's.

i do have to agree with you on that one.
