The "world's most interesting man" - what would he drive?
 
If he were real, what car (s) would he be driving?

He is manly, but he's also interesting...

How about a Morgan

or maybe a Bizzarinni?

Maybe an old Mercedes SL.

I almost said E-type, but I think that may be too expected.

Maybe he's driving Hugh's old AM DB4

Something with rich Corinthian leather?

+1 One of the new ones.

I was driving one day and turned on a sports talk channel on XM. They were interviewing this VERY normal sounding guy. Well, it turns out he was "The Most Interesting Man in the World"
He is, (actually was), a character actor from the 80's. Was on a lot of Dallas episodes. He is a business man now. Something about his wife being his Mgr. and heard Dos Equis was looking for a spokesperson. So he kinda said what the hell I'll try out for it. He had been friends with Fernando Lamas, (since passed away), doing a lot of sailing with him. So he decided prior to his audition he'd honor his friend by mimicking Lamas' accent.
As they say the rest is history.

Something old. Like a 50's Jaguar, but he could drive anything from a BMX to the space shuttle you know.

pwd72s 08-28-2011 11:38 AM

Nothing...he always has hot young chicks driving exotic cars as willing chauffeurs.

widgeon13 08-28-2011 12:40 PM

Morgan, what else??

azasadny 08-28-2011 01:07 PM

A well set-up 944, of course!

kach22i 08-28-2011 01:10 PM

He don't drive under the influence (too cool for that), he is in the back of a limo with women half his age.

Jim Bremner 08-28-2011 01:12 PM

XK140 with a "C" type head.
Ivory with an Ox blood interior.


That and a DB4.

He also has a '72 Dodge van that's set up to be a stab'n cabin.

I was thinking along those lines. My first thought was an unrestored (but maintained) 1930's open-top Bentley in driving condition. That would be interesting.

Yes. The MIMITW marketing campaign has been effective. From Wiki:
The Most Interesting Man in the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"According to the company, U.S. sales increased each year between 2006-2010[4] and tripled in Canada in 2008[5], although exact figures were not provided. Sales of Dos Equis said to have increased by 22% at a time when sale of other imported beer fell 4% in the U.S.[6] The agency rationale for the brand strategy was defined thus; "He is a man rich in stories and experiences, much the way the audience hopes to be in the future. Rather than an embodiment of the brand, The Most Interesting Man is a voluntary brand spokesperson: he and Dos Equis share a point of view on life that it should be lived interestingly."

BTW, the actor is Jonathon Goldsmith.
Jonathan Goldsmith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

.... and he can drive anything he wants, but he used to live on a boat.

Rumors of his death early in 2011 appear to be false.

FWIW,

If you must know, I drive a 1985 Porsche 911

Actually, I am going with a Mercedes Pullman, with a driver, likely an attractive redhead with a tan.

I'm still pretty sure he would drive a G-Klass. He is all around awesome, not just awesome in 1 area. The G is all around awesome.

island911 08-29-2011 09:39 AM

Yeah, and the G-Klass drinks a lot. ...esp the G55


and isn't that what this gorilla marketing effort is all about? ...drinking lots and lots of piss-water.

In 1935, Ab Jenkins as well as Tony Gulotta raced 24 hours only stopping every 400 miles for fuel and tires. After it was over, they proved the Duesenberg was one of the fastest cars in the world by covering 3523 miles in 24 hours at an average speed of 135.47 mph
(it's one of the most expensives car in the world too, $4 1/2 mil in 2004).

I agree with the Lambo Miura. Or a DeTomaso Pantera. Maybe an early Countach.

Haha - I think you made the connection between the man and the beer even clearer than it was before.
