Flash - Wave - Why not?
Discussion
I need to know why us Aston owners don't appear to be a very friendly bunch when out and about.
On my motorbikes you always dip your helmet at another rider.
In my Elise (or any Lotus) you always get a light flash or wave.
In a Morgan VW Beetle etc etc its the same, so why is it that after 2 months of Aston ownership and having driven past 5 or 6 other Astons on the road, I have had not a single response to my wave or flash??
Is it just me? It is because my Aston is black?

Thats the kind of reaction I get.
I don't actually ever flash for reasons mentioned in the post above (they'd probably assume there was a speed camera van up the road!), but I don't get whats wrong with a little hand wave. Its part of the fun of it all.
Can't agree with there being "too many of us" either, there are many thousands more lotus drivers and I get a wave from every single other lotus driver when I'm in my elise! (sometimes a little too OTT actually, but maybe my elise is a bit more noticable and "known" when its on the road!)
