Came across the latest Alpina B6 recently, a quite magnificent tool for hurculean depreciative pain.

Although comprehensively splendid, this 194 mile-an-hour golf trolley somehow crosses that line of iffyness where no celestial peak of dynamic or technical prowess can redeem the debilitating conclusion that the motives for designing and heaven forbid - buying - such a thing, are suspect beyond anything this side of plus fours, a swift G&T and the nineteenth...

I therefore humbly submit the offending article as Exhibit A in the hunt for the ultimate toupeeviggen.

What other desperate, nichenaffstic, automotive decapitations exist to criminalise the al frescic sector?

Closet door open

Always fancied one, too - not sure what it is about them, but lot of "wagen" for your D-mark!

I regret to say that after watching Top Gear, the BMW M6 springs to the top of the list. It has the pseudo-status badge, the big butch coupe look replete with medallion and cries out for a follically challenged remedial blanket to go with the open-neck shirt and sports jacket. It's one of those cars that desperately wants to be an athlete, perceives itself as such but sadly has an obvious beer-gut that it tries to suck in when lithe exotics go by.

Dealing in rather old stereotypes I'd say but they're gone now (sadly) and I have a Mustang so the good news is that you can use the same stereotype - even if they've always been traditionally bought by young people. I confess to being an old fart myself but have no beer gut and a very full and evenly distributed head of hair. However, nobody has exclude me on these grounds so far. LOL. Not sure that any of the 3 carry a pseudo-status badge and all 3 weigh considerably less than the fat M6 but maybe I'm dealing in old stereotypes too.

M6 and M5. Huge golf trolleys. I hate to say it but Jags, the more expensive the better.

Fair play to you Sir, but i dont think its the car that should be judged as the toupee sled rather the driver

Ultimate example was the Aston Martin Virage.

5.3-litre V8 continent-muncher, clad in the finest cow and tree, wrapped in aircraft-style aluminium, drag-spec brakes imported from Australia and a price tag from NASA.

When did they launch it? Black Wednesday.

As far as the Golf Club cognescenti and toupees go, it's got to be anything by Lexus, but particularly that ultra naff 430 thingy that thinks its an SL roadster. To be seen in one of those, you need the toupee and 'V' neck over a roll neck, or a which I believe is what the mechanics wear when road testing them, just in case they are seen by a mate.
