Most manly car?

[XitUp]

Yeah, I'd vote for an SD-1. There was one in Retro cars a while back, some Aussie guy owned it. It was matte black with the 4.6 from a range rover. I think that would fit the bill.

[so called]

I always considered the Camaro as a manly motor.
That is until last week.

I presume he is, must be fking blind.

Depends how long he's been playing for. American Football doesn't have a great safety record.

p.s. the black one was a soft top, therefor not manly.

Fie and pish on all the above. This is a manly car, still to be seen running - all 24litres and no front brakes:

On Arizona plates? I can't picture a millionaire football player doing a 2,100 mile commute.

Bah! What's not manly about showing yourself off? Only spotty nerds have to hide behind a roof*

One of the few BMs that would qualify IMO - has the distinct advantage of chavs not liking/knowing what it is innit

does this mean i'm now a chav?

Almost everything hereinabove smacks of peacockery and codpiece. Real men don't feel the need to brag about it. A real man's car, surely, is a saloon or at a push a fixed head coupé. It is quiet, discreet and unassuming. It is ultra high quality and unquestionably reliable. And, of course, it is fast. None of the many cars presently on sale meets all of these criteria with the possible exception of the Maserati Quattroporte, which is somewhat spoiled by being unavailable in a tasetful specification and associated with those vulgar and excessive coupés.

Cars which best represent the breed are:

(1) Mercedes-Benz 500 E. But not with big wheels and blacked out windows.
(2) Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Prince of Wales spec. Gunmetal Grey Metallic preferred.
(3) Jaguar Sovereign Series III V12.
(4) BMW M5 (E28 only, though). Not a red one.
(5) Mercedes-Benz 300 SE L 6.3.
(6) Mercedes-Benz 450 SE L 6.9.
(7) Any front-engined V12 Ferrari with a manual transmission up to and including the 575M (but emphatically not the 599 which really is only for secretly gay Arab princes or men who wish they were secretly gay Arab princes), so long as it is neither red nor black nor upholstered in red leather. Fitment of an after market exhaust immediately disqualifies the vehicle from manly status. The manly Ferrari is a difficult one to pull off. As it were. A silver 412 upholstered in brown leather and fitted up with the 5 speed manual is the epitome of the man's Ferrari.

Surely not any Front engined V12 Ferrari........The California is a treacles car though and through, purpose built for girls (and an ugly blighter too)

I thought the OP wanted manly, you've gone for 'old manly'.

Not quite, more "gentlemanly". Basically a Bristol 410/411. The choice of a "chap".

Trying to call yourself an engineer doesn't make programming manly either.
