Driving Gloves – Yes or No

I wear karting race gloves, but only when its cold and I have the roof down 🙂

It depends – are you driving a bin lorry or a steamroller? If not, then no. My mate bought driving gloves when he was 19 for driving in his Y-reg Porsche.

Can you post a photo of the gloves (or preferably you wearing the gloves) so we can mock you give an informed opinion?

Edit: it’s not the string back special gloves that are being worn here, are they? http://www.grandprix-dakotashop.com/en/accessoires/gulf-diva-top-turquoise.html Because if that babe can’t pull them off, no-one can…

Driving gloves should only be worn when thrashing something badass and pre war.

Do the gloves come with a free Trilby hat?

NO, NO and thrice NO.

Suppose the next step for you is a pair of Farrah comfort slacks and a nice car coat.

NO FRICKIN WAY!

Bakelite steering wheel in a classic car with no heating, then yes. Anything else, no. Unless you like people to point at you and laugh.

If you own a genuine Gulf liveried Porsche 917 or Ford GT40……..No, but I want to be your friend

If you own any other car………..Just No.

Note the lack of gloves………

Dear God.

No.

Waiit aaa minuite…

Yes.

Off you go.

Note the lack of gloves……

To be fair, he’s not actually driving is he ?

Unlike here.

For the OP, the answer is still a resounding NO though.

As he’s not Steve McQueen 🙂

Are you Jason Statham? Do you deliver packages no questions asked?

Then yes, you can wear driving gloves.

No. Unless you are driving a pre 1970s car, in mid-winter, which is fitted with a heater that has a similar output to a mouse’s breath, in which case gloves and a car coat might be acceptable.

Statham looks like a tool, and Mcqueen has now gone down in my estimation. Terry Thomas is the only man who should ever wear driving gloves, and only because he is a renowned cad and a bounder.

And Leonard, of course:

Who could wear what the hell he liked. 🙂
