red top 

Nickname of the 150 bhp C20XE Vauxhall/Opel 2.0 litre DOHC car engine, based on the fact that it had a red L-shaped spark plug cover (although some later examples had a black cover, these are still referred to as "red tops" if the cover is L-shaped).

The chav stuck a red top in his clapped-out Nova, and when the tiny brakes and crap suspension couldn't handle the power he ploughed into a coachload of Americans (killing them all, painfully) & landed upside down in a field with a smashed spine, watching the pool of petrol slowly approaching the lit cigarette hanging from the mouth of his decapitated estate slut girlfriend.

steppin' wit the mindstate of a mobster
Quick to see a n**** pass by,

Red tops for sale"

Red top 

Dating back to the early 1900’s. Associated with breaker boys who were employed to break up coal into manageable pieces. The boys would get soot and debris in their finger Tips that would cause pain, swelling and a red discoloration. Hence the term “Red Tops”. At the time the best solution was to pee on your hands to flush out the coal dust. After a while the boys would develop a higher tolerance or Calluses.

Johnny just started a new job with the local company. “Hey look at the new red top” said billy an older boy.
