Do you do it

[Vix]

I do tend to grin at other drivers of cool 80s cars, and occasionally get a smile back.

 

[Wossi]

Since I drive a Toyota Avensis, one of the most boring cars in the world and possibly only driven by other sales reps I tend not to wave at anybody. Unless I know them. But them I'm also a miserable sod when driving.

 

[Howard]

Get the odd wave in the MX5, yep

 

[Fr0dders]

VXR drivers tend to do this.

 

[Conscript]

I own a Ford Focus - the most common car on the road network. One time there were six Foci including mine parked behind each other. So based on that, no I don't do a friendly wave.

<waves>

 

[lordrobs]

I would like to as I have a 'fairly' unique Mondeo.

Top Gear has a lot to answer for

 

[Sp00n]

Friend of mine noticed this in his scoob when he bought it too.

 

[Siliconslave]

used to wave people, and get waved back in the MX5

Now i give a two fingered wave to other Audi drivers cause were all a bunch of ****s

 

[Overlag]

I'm sick of waving to fellow Stobart drivers - theres too damn many of us!

I've started to give different gestures instead of a wave, it gets interesting reactions!

tell me about it. I booked a travelogde at middlewich after my oulton park weekend and im now sick of Eddies. I recon on average 1 lorry every 2 minutes came out of that depot all night long

 

[MrSix]

Yeah in the MR2 if another one drives past we often pop up the headlights to acknowledge how effin' cool we both are. I also give a nod to other bikers when I'm out on the crotch rocket.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I've given a few 172/Sport owners a flash or a wave and always got a wave or thumbs up back.

 

[-westy-]

When I had my 205 GTI more often than not I got a wave or a flash of lights from another 205 driver.

 

[Scuzi]

I do it when on the bike because everyone else seems to do it but never in the car. Other Z4 Coupe drivers generally will have a look but never wave.

Once when stuck in traffic in Winchester on a hot day another almost identical car pulled alongside me. I jokingly said to him "Nice car, you have great taste".

I can understand the whole knowing wave thing for bikers and people who drive rare or classic cars but for everyday modern machinery I don't get it.

 

[Sanchez]

A couple of 205 GTi drivers have given me the knowing nod or hand off the steering wheel so I've always obliged. Tried doing the same to two successive 205 drivers and then both blanked me I'll not be doing it again.

 

[Scythe]

I do it to other bike riders when on my bike, but other than that, no.

 

[Pulsar_GTI]

I have noticed this in my scoob too

 

[NitrogenY3K]

I have just bought a scoob and me and my mate were out yesterday and some guy in another scoob waved. Which i found to be slightly odd.

 

[esK`]

Bikers do it a lot as its some form of "brotherhood"

 

[dthebuk]

Ive never been flashed by another FC, but ive never seen one on the road. FD owners usually wave. RX-8 owners never wave

my mate discovered this when he got his bike

other bikers just started randomly chatting to him while waiting at the lights. Having spent all his driving life behind the wheel of a car, being anonymous

it came as quite a shock !
