Who's waving at you

[macar]

When out and about I generally get a wave from drivers of the following make of cars, obviously when driving the same model

Land Rover-Defenders only
TR6
Jaguar-E Types only
TVR- any model

Does this camaraderie exist between others?

[anonymous-user]

us renault scenic 1.6 owners all wave at each other too.

[hooperpride]

When I see another Pride driver we look away with a knowing sense of shame, no one waves at us.

[RobM77]

Lotus
Caterham



Oh, and a friend of mine who's had numerous 200SXs says that owners of other 200s (and 300ZXs) wave at him occasionally, which is pretty cool

[GravelBen]

Plenty of MX5 drivers wave! Also get a few from MGs and various other convertibles as well, especially when top down in less than perfect weather.

[The Wookie]

Old and front engined Porsches tend to wave... although I even had a 996 C4S wave at me in the 928 the other day!

MGB's and other old british stuff

Landys

Ferraris sometimes

[balls-out]

2CV
MGs

[snotrag]

Other MX5s on a sliding scale of probability from -

Young man in Mk1 in wet with roof down > Middle aged woman in Mk3 with roof up ion sunny day.


The Mk1 seems also to have been accepted by a lot of the 'classic' drivers so old MG's, Triumph TR's etc tend to wave a lot aswell.

[alfa pint]

Classic MG owners wave at each other. Rarely did I get a wave from an MG F - more likely to get a wave from a triumph or similar.

Alfa Spider / GTV owners wave at each other, but only occasionally do I get one from a 156 / 147 / 166 - usually one of the more special ones.

[Martin_Hx]

Unfortunately most drivers of the same car are teenage drug dealers, so i daren't

[Gad-Westy]

In the Westfield, anybody in something interesting would wave. Got the occassional Mk1 MX5 wave. And just last week, I got my first Smart wave.

[Lord Pikey]

Volvo 480 owners used to pop the lights

Old Landover (defender and older) owners wave

Anyone in a convertable waved and gave the when i was in the Super Six

[V88Dicky]

Monaros are becoming that rare, the owners actually stop and spark up the barby. Or they wave. Eithers good.

[Nash_wrx]

Impreza's flash/wave quite often

[mikezs]

Almost all bikers nod at each other when passing

[Snoop Bagg]

The only thing I must fess up to regarding waving, I am that annoying bd who beeps and waves at people I don't know.

It works best outside supermarkets or shops when the victims hands are full of shopping. I know it's childish, but the amount of people who will drop all their shopping because they just have to wave back is astonishing!

You get as many wavers as you do miserable non wavers in MX5's tho - some people just think you're nuts, especially when you're looking at them odd for not having the top down.

'What do you mean it's -10 and snowing?'

[RV8]

Morris Minors + mini drivers tend to flash, waving is pretty standard in a Land Rover, unless it's a works vehicle who's drivers don't often wave.
I used to wave in the MX5 I remember the previous owner having to do something with the light circuit on the MX5 to get them to open then flash, as a quick pull on the light stalk would mean the lamps flashed when closed - then popped up.

[HereBeMonsters]

I generally wave at anyone in a 205. Only had a couple of waves back though. I'm on the cutting edge of a revolution.
