We're not looking for a "James Bond-esque gent sitting in his recliner sipping a Manhattan and waiting for his butler to bring around the Alfa Romo" here either. If you think that's what the readers or writers are about here... perhaps it's time to move on. Either way: 1. Alfa Romeo's, especially the classics, are considered must-haves for any car enthusiast. Like anything, it's a love/hate relationship - much like Jeep enthusiasts of which I am. 2 seconds of car research will reveal that. 2. If a person were to pigeonhole outdoor enthusiasts to one type of beverage or think they can't enjoy a decent chair or suit, then that's, well... kind of unfortunate. p.s. the link works.

I welcome your feedback on them, rather than on me. Oh, and I think if you saw my 20-year old rusty car, I think you'd reconsider the butler idea. Feel free to read and comment on my gear reviews.

Point being that when I'm looking for outdoor gear reviews/advice, I'm not looking for a James Bond-esque gent sitting in his recliner sipping a Manhattan and waiting for his butler to bring around the Alfa Romeo. Get a uniform picture for crying out loud. Apparently not, because that link goes nowhere.

Don't see anything wrong with that... evidently a lot of other guys <a href="http://gearpatrol.com/blog/2008/08/27/manpoll-results-what-do-you-drink-most/" rel="nofollow">feel that way</a> too.

Skiing is strictly cross-country. Sorry to disappoint. -J. No hedge funds here and the only beachfront I have nearby is a lake in Minneapolis. Skiing is strictly cross-country. Sorry to disappoint.

Is this guy looking for outdoorsman cred or trying to fit in with the hedge-fund crowd? For the record, you forgot to mention your beachfront property in Miami and ski chalet in St. Moritz. LAME.
