For me, if I was being optimistic, only about 1 in 5 MX5 owners give any acknowledgment if I wave or flash - is it just me or is this the general trend?

Yours, miffed of Cambridgeshire!

(I have a blue Mk 1 Eunos if this has anything to do with it...)

Hmm, mine doesn't look modified (other than by the scrote who nicked my Eunos badge...)

Today I had a 100% wave rate - 2 out of 2 Mk 1 drivers (one silver one burgundy) - faith slightly restored but no score on non mk 1 MX5's!!

100% failure rate today, on way to work, silver Mk3, lots of early flashing at him but no wave back. Think he could have been a zombie who'd stolen the real owners car.

Perhaps we should all move to one area of the country where we can all wave at each other as we pass every day.

Feel better today, wave at by a different Mk3 and then exchanged waves with a lady in a Mk 3 going the other way in a traffic jam. I was starting to think Mk3 drivers may be anti social! (I'm in a Mk 1...)

Are Mk 1 drivers considered more sociable then? Discuss!

Hmm, I'm starting to see some softening of the Mk 3 drivers, I think Mk 2 drivers are the laggers in the waving stakes.

Good man! As for profile, I think it's more women that wave than men... perhaps it's a Cambridgeshire thing!

Hmm, no wave from Mk 3 I saw today (Huntingdon) - but did get enthusiastic recognition (and let me past some parked cars) from a fellow Mk 1 in black in Peterborough!
