Am I strange ?

Like most on here, I'll wave or flash an oncoming TVR. We do, don't we ?

But I also have an urge to do the same to oncoming Lotus. confused I can't quite make the acknowledgement though but sometimes feel I should.

Am I unique or do we Tivvers not feel a bond with our Lotus comrades ?

Yep often find myself going to stick my hand up involuntarily. Guess it is the British thing.

I drive a Lotus and have given waves and thumbs up to Trevs. Why not?

Absolutely, I tend to wave at Lotus drivers as well as others, even one or two porkers on occasion (I'll get me coat....)

...bit 'milf'ed...shouldn't it be 'filtched...??


Anyway....yup, I give a flash to the growling beasts from my nimble Lotus, I think it's like bikes, (motor), all different but yet, strangely, a common bond...GRP maybe....?

I wave to Lotus drivers, think it's coz i drive an Elan occassionally and just do it without thinking. Fellow TVR peeps get a flash and a wave so they obviously more important in my subconcious! lol
