Last week as I was driving down one of the local lanes to me, a new McLaren came the other way and gave me a friendly flash of the headlights. I waved back and smiled, as you do. This is because I feel that we Noble owners are part of a club that could be described as 'rare and exotic'. Without doubt the Mc is more exotic, but probably by the end of the year, not so rare as a Noble.
Today, as I sat in the Sevenoaks traffic in the Nob (which is black), a black Gallardo was in the traffic coming the other way. We sat bonnet to bonnet and I gave him a small wave which he clearly saw. NO RESPONSE. Why do I want to punch wanxers like that square on the nose?

I only ever wave at other Nobs, which is, of course, practically never.

But if someone waves at me, then I'll wave back.

Didn't you know Gallardo drivers are far too up themselves to acknowledge anything but their own reflection rolleyes
Mind you I waved at a fellow Honda Jazz driver the other day and he jestured back with a up and down fist motion, some people eh!

don't bother, some do appreciate thumbs up, others don't (but most do wink )

Nobles are indeed in the 'rare & exotic', just feel very happy & proud you have one, don't give a s*** about w***ers smile

He probably wondered why you were waving at him....after all you were in a true exotic that is rare and unusual......dont let it bother you..;)....i personally refuse to wave at people in anything less than a 430 scud, CS or superlegra....anything less and i would spit at them...peasants..

Bernhund, look at the state of your car I wouldn't wave either wobble
Know what you mean, I was out in mine with a couple of mates on their bikes, past a Tuscan, got a flash of lights and a wave, Exige, a thumb up then as we pulled into a garage to grab a cuppa, let a guy out in his Fezza 355, not even a thankyou, miserable tit.
One thing I've notice is most bikers of the race type??? Always give the approving nod, especially when they come up behind you and you open the taps, watching them dropping cogs as fast as they can puts a great school boy grin on my face smile
Thanks OP for allowing me to vent, I feel much better biggrin

LOL!!Yep you're right..mine is a right heap! However, Jetstream has just done the suspension and will be re mapping and tidying other bits soon. The front clam is getting a re spray next week. Then the alloys refurbed and finally stickered up to promote my latest venture like this.

Hahaha, I wondered when you'd notice Dave! That is still your car on the side there but we had to change the colour (only a little bit!)to avoid clashing etc.smile
