Cars with proper road presence
Discussion
After getting cut up for about the billionth time tonight, I pondered if there was such a thing as a car with enough presence, which may make these mouth breathing t
ts at least use their indicators?
I don't mean obvious candidates like hummers or big 4x4s but maybe something like an Evo VI, with its brutish stance and (perhaps) slight whiff of drug dealer*, would be less prone to some idiot moving into a space in a lane, which you currently happen to be occupying?
I realise I'm asking the impossible, (for these idiots not to be idiots), but welcome your suggestions, as it's seriously one of the requirements for my next car. (My current car is a Skoda Fabia, I like it very much, however, I do get the impression sometimes that, before they attempt a stupid manoeuvre, the opposition driver thinks "it's only a Skoda").

- I like Evo VIs, I'd have one in a second, I'm not running them down.
I don't think it matters so much about the badge. I think it's how loud it is. The louder the better. Saxo with modded exhaust to Sagaris.
The loudness scares them in to respect.
I started my measly M3 yesterday and scared a small puppy. I actually apologised to the owner through my window after he picked the puppy up and gave it a sympathetic cuddle. And that's just the effect a straight six has. Imagine a modded Polo!
It's big fat exhausts you need.

My old Jag XJ8 seems to be immune.
The combo of 2 tonnes, a decent turn of speed and the fact that I don't really care if it gets damaged (cost me less than £2k, is worth about £1.5k) means that I tend to take a 'which one of us is going to bottle it first?' approach to London driving.

OK, so my next car needs to be a battered old TVR Sagaris with the exhaust hooked up to a big PA system 
If only they did the 159 GTA 
No matter what you drive you will meet someone who is more important than you. I had a Toyota Landcruiser (the big mutha) try to push in front of my old Civic once. He failed so took his rightful place behind me.
I have also had people jumping in front of my tractor and trailer while going though town. They don't realise how much 24 tonnes (officer) of tractor takes to stop, or they wouldn't do it.

I assume it to be 5 Series exec-mobile. Not being a BMW fan what's an E59? Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
