I want a car that makes you want to pull in to let it through. Something so imposing that seeing the grill appear in the rear view just makes people move over and get out of the fast lane. Obviously that rules out anything by Audi, BMW and Mercedes, great as they are they just seem to annoy people, and are predominantly driven by aggressive middle management types so nobody’s going to get out the way for love nor money, plus they’re everywhere smile. It also has to be fast.

I’m thinking something like: https://preowned.bentleymotors.com/gb/en/stock/ben...

Or maybe that black impala from Supernatural ? Tony Soprano’s SUV ?

Any ideas ? Ok maybe one for car buying, but we all know GG’s where it’s at..

Sessions on coping with fragile masculinity? Think I saw a coupon in today's Times.

(Seriously, you wonder why petrolheads have a bad rep...?)

Well my reply would be "Dont you want to convey this message to me in a more civilized environment"

The boxing ring

I respect everybody and would help anybody

If you had this attitude towards me I would deal with it

You dont know the person you are disrespecting on the road
Out on the grass verge when the traffic stops you would be made to look the biggest pleb on the motorway

Do you have a proper budget or just your pocket money?

Ah PH at its best, note thread is part tongue in cheek part genuine question, (hence the smiley in the thread title) but let’s budget around 40-70k max.

An Arnage or Rolls may have the intended effect perhaps but maybe you can also do it on a budget, like the old 300C when it first came out (before everybody knew what it was)...

Anything that was widely used by the bizzies.

Even late 90s/early 2000s motors have the magical effect that years of people being stung by unmarked units bring. Omegas, Octavias, T5s are all "Moses" cars.

Until you meet someone better or better armed than you.

This is a very silly mentality indeed when dealing with complete strangers.

Dont have a go at me

Im not the sket going around the place looking for trouble by acting like a bellend

Some of us dont look for trouble You just need to hope you are a bigger nutcase than your intended victim or is it the done thing to go around the roads making a specticle of yourself in the hope the wrong crew dont take offence (if you know what I mean )

Probably the most sensible reply on this subject This site lacks a thank you button
I would have like to have done better and offered more but this is the type of s**t that winds me right up
