Miserable Scrote Tuscan Driver

[Flintstone]

Red Tuscan in the Bishops Stortford area last friday.

Y'know, acknowledging a headlamp flash and wave wouldn't kill you.

[dtuson]

I had one of those yesterday, driving into Northampton town centre.

I didn't take offence though, as driving a TVR, I just assumed that the lights weren't working

[rooster]

I had one in Cambridge yesterday, could have sworn he'd seen me, felt quite put out! perhaps Chimaera's are too common!!

As more and more antisocial owners are joining the fold.. we'll get more blanks...

Sometimes, they're full with joy of driving or listening out for mechanical noises that they dont even know the incoming lane exists....

If it was sunny at the time, perhaps he was distracted from the road ahead by squinting at the instrument pod?

[parrot of doom]

He probably didn't know you were driving a TVR!

Still, never mind - he'll be the one paying full whack for everything because hes not a member of this great place

[shadowninja]

Wave anyway. If enough people do it to them, they'll get the hint... or sell the car

[Martin_s]

Probably too busy worrying about the top-end rattles from his engine to even notice you were there!

I had this yesterday, 2 (1 in BRG and the other midnight blue) chimeras both waved back followed with some energetic waving with the roofs off (on the M4). And then would you beleive it, stuck in traffice in the outside lane and a crystal topaz tuscan was in the other outside lane and he completely blanked me. It wasn't as if he couldn't have seen me! Probably just embarrased cos his was the same colour as mine but with a dodgy interior (his interior not mine).

A driver (female, I think) in a black Tuscan yesterday on the A272 didn't bother to acknowledge me. It happens occasionally and then you feel a twit for having waved in the first place! Oh well, it's their loss - I much prefer being sociable...

On Sunday, so my girlfriend tells me, someone flashed their lights and waved at me whilst we were out in the Tuscan (Nottingham), but I just didn't notice.
It happens sometimes. I felt guilty when the girlfriend told me. Would have waved otherwise.

Also, the lights work and I wasn't worried about any engine rattles.
In fact, I think at the time I think I was thinking how wonderful it sounded!

Had this a couple of weeks ago from a Griff driver, bloke just looked right through me, definately saw me though, miserable git!

Do hope it wasn't me Oldred, as i have a habit of driving with a delerious grin on my face, and blinkered vision on account of trying to keep the darn thing pointing the right direction....damn the rollerskatss are fun.
I did follow a lovely blue Griff on the M25 on Friday for about 10miles, we could barely see each other waving and flashing our lights as it was presipitating pissistantly......don't you just love the M25 in the rain.......not

I must add my apologies to the Chim driver on the A59 at about 18:45 on Sunday. I did not get a clear view in time to wave/flash. If you are on here

In the blue beastie at the time

I was buzzing around between St.Albans and Stevenage on Sunday and saw loads of Chimaera's, all of whom waved! Even had a "great day for it!" chat with a guy in a beautiful Ferrari whilst stopped in the St.Albans traffic. Top marks to you all!

Hi Ian,

I think it was a mid blue, but my memory is crap, so could be wrong.

It was on Towcester Road and I was heading into town in a bright yellow griff with a liberal coat of Meguiars freshly applied, so no real excuses!

[rev-erend]

What is this confession time.

OK - lets solve this one.

All say a few hail Mary's and you are absolved

For what its worth, I dont always wave as I dont always see the oncoming. Usually do but not always.

What did irritate me though, was the chim owner who refused to wave. We were stuck in traffic on a very narrow country lane, bonnet to bonnet, so close I could see the hairs up his nose and so I waved (not because he had hairs up his nose mind). Got a blank look. So I waved again. Another blank stare. At this point, I decided to wave sarcastically. He must have been teetering on the verge of waving, and my final wave obviously pushed him over the edge because he waved back
