Ok, you just described every man who ever drove an MX5.

I went to a wedding, where it turned out the groom was mates with a security guard where I work so after a few drinks, said guard came up to me and asked if my OH still had her MX5. Turns out that on the rare occasions I had to drive her car the last mile, a sighting of me peering over the windscreen of said MX5 was worthy of radioing the other guards to look out of the blockhouse for a giggle because a rather large, tall man in a tiny car was a funny thing to see during an 8 hour shift.

If it's any consolation OP, I didn't think I looked good.

Righto... What car do you have OP? Show us all how cool you look in it.

I think the OP is either on a wind up, impressively thick or just a bit of an insecure knobhead. Interested to hear what fabulously cool sexy car you own. What does it matter how you look as long as you're having fun, buying a car to look good to others is extremely vain and ultimately pointless.

also - who is really so insecure that they make their car choice based on some forum perception of whether they look sexy or not?!

I bought some Ray-Bans sunglasses and put prescription lenses in them as I loved the frame. There is now no branding on them apart from the inside (that you can’t see) and people tell me all the time that they would look so much better if they were proper Ray-Bans...
You've made this up, haven't you?

I noticed over the past couple of days with the sun out and cars with the hood down that a majority of drivers look cool with their shades on and then there are those who look plain ridiculous, like the MX5 driver who looks too large that they can barley turn the steering wheel and they think they look good ?
Do you walk up to people in the street and take the piss out of them? Or only when you are hiding behind a computer?

OH and the picture is for those who remember Steve McQueen, and for a majority of youngsters who were a twinkle in their parents eyes,
and the car is one of the most expensive to buy if you can get one is a Jaguar XK Super Sport .

This is PH, of course we've heard of Persol.

Anyway, they're owned by the same company that owns ray ban and Oakley.

I had the roof down on my car last week, no need for me to break out my Hawker sunglasses (top quality driving glasses those....) though as it was a rather dull day.
