Top 3 cool people for me and in no particular order are Muhammad Ali, George Best and Steve McQueen.

You guys are pathetic! A drunkard mumbler and a salad dressing maker are supposed to be cooler than Steve McQueen. ::facepalm1::

This tread needs some motorcycle pictures, a Rickmann Metisse with a Triumph engine.

What about Don Knott's aka Gomer Pyle or Barney Fife.

Jim Nabors played Gomer Pyle. 👍

I seem to recall Steve McQueen and James Garner were neighbors. There's a funny story circulating about McQueen throwing beer cans in Garner's yard at a party and Garner out picking them up the next morning.
I enjoy Garner's dry sense of humor in his interviews. Midwestern values and kind of uptight, though. I think McQueen rolled with the punches and enjoyed life.

Steve McQueen was hands down the coolest man alive in his heyday.
Only one who even came close was Broadway Joe Namath in his early NY Jets days.

I wonder how many Triumphs, Barbours and Belstaffs were sold on the strength of his association with them ?

The problem with the people who probably had potential but never unfolded it is that they had died too young is that basically we do not know whether they really had that potential or it is the idea behind what they could have but we never saw. Whatever. I like the Heuer Monaco.

And who the fυck is that, when he's at home!
With all due respect to Alain Delon, if you have to tell us who he is, that disqualifies him from being in the conversation with Steve McQueen, sorry!
