Wanted: A manly,virile monster of a vehicle

[TheHeretic]

An old Toyota Celica.

[4key]

An old black v8 disco, jacked up with offroad tyres and a straight through exhaust. Bullbar, winch and covered in mud for full effect.

eta, lots of big spot lights on it too

Today has been a bad day, I bought a Hyundai i10 (red, active 1.2 if it matters). That as I see it is akin to handing my balls back and spending all day ironing and changing nappies. So, I need something to restore the balance - something so unbelievably vicious and masculine that if it was human it would be a cross between Ade Edmondson in The Young Ones and Chuck Norris. To get started, these I think should be on the list:

Pontiac Firebird (smoky and the bandit car iirc)
Ac cobra
Confederate wraith (motorbike)
Jensen interceptor
70s Aston Martin
V8 classic range rover or Chevy powered defender
Outerlimits offshore catamaran
Pitts s2c acrobatic biplane
Alvis stalwart

Not on the list:
V8 ferraris (too elegant, maybe excepting the 308 due to the magnum effect)
Toyota supra, evo or Nissan skyline (wrong image - this isn't about technology, it is about welding the thing yourself and fixing things with a lump hammer after the 70s tyres let go...)
Mx5 or BMW 330 (too normal, practical, efficient
Yamaha r1 or anything else with a fairing.

Help me please before they shrivel up and drop off...

Drove a Dodge Viper on my 40th Awesome machine, should be on list growling 7 litre engine

Scoot off to San Fransisco and buy this...

Dodge Viper.....
Any 1990's Lambo, especially an SV
Porsche 993 GT2
AM Vanquish S
AMG G-Wagon
Morgan Aeromax
Bentley Brooklands
Ultima GTR
Ariel Atom V8 500
Caterham R500
Lambo LM 002
Previous generation Alpina B7 (E60 version)
Renault Clio V6


Finally a TVR Tuscan Speed Six.

Ultima and gt2 are too refined and high end. All others work well.
Clio v6 reminds me of another option: Renault 5 turbo.

Buell, any but the Firebolt was niiiice.

Really liked te xb12s I rode, much nicer than the super duke IMHO. Norton commando or triumph thruxton works too maybe or an unfaired hayabusa turbo (as per ghost rider)

My 944 S2 is enough to counteract the C1 and Galaxy, get a 928 for added GRRRRR.

Friend has one. Sounds lovely but a bit too civilised inside for the full effect.

Ooh, I just thought of a serious one

A lovely car for certain, but a bit too suave - a Lamborghini Miura would work but only because of this:

Holden Ute, and supercharge for good measure. Couple in the classifieds for about 9k. Look no further.

Interesting - f150 lightning or gmc syclone also added to the list.

[paranoid airbag]

Black MX5 with an LS engine transplant, I'm sure someone will help with side-exit exhausts

Or just a Cobra rep
