Drivers waving!
Drivers waving!
You know how some car owners wave at each other - VW camper vans/beetles, Land Rover series's, etc...
Well It turns out that M2 drivers wave to each other...I'd had a few nods and waves over the last 6 months or so, but it's now pretty much every time I drive past another M2 I get a wave or a flash! How quaint!
Anyone else found themselves in a club?

When we hired the motorhome recently I got a lot of motorhomefwendwavez.

There are a few silver E46 cabrios around here, it doesn't happen often but if I let one out of a junction or past on a tight road I seem to get a more enthusiastic response than the usual
Re: Drivers waving!
I thought M drivers were too "Alpha" to wave.
And only in the Lotus, but lets be honest, all Lotus owners are nerdy.

Re: Drivers waving!
Out and about in the Galaxie or the Scimitar, other people in classic cars will often wave. You also sometimes get a random wave or thumbs-up from pedestrians too.
Re: Drivers waving!
The Defender owners are enthusiastic hand wavers.
Had a few in the Mito but I don’t bother.
Nothing in the BMW apart from one chap going pretending to pleasure an imaginary phallus whilst opening and closing his jaw simultaneously. Didn’t know if he wanted to fuck me or fight me.
The Tesla bunch do it frequently but it’s just annoying because it’s such a common car.

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Drivers waving!
Oh, and I drive an mx5 too but the mk4 seems to be a bit outside the waving club, good
Re: Drivers waving!
I don't recall this being a things as caravan owner but I have fully embraced it with the motorhome, I am now launching full Rimmer Salutes 8)
Re: Drivers waving!
I exchange waves with other XJ drivers, 308s particularly although I'll acknowledge a 350 at a push. Anything newer can get in the sea.
There's two around here I see reasonably frequently and we always exchange a cheerey "how fucked is yours today?" kinda wave.

M4 drivers do, but not the new gen one funnily enough!

Re: Drivers waving!
Most old British sports cars all get a wave from me, often to much amusing confusion (no, not if I'm in the C5 you tard)
Re: Drivers waving!
A bloke in an MX5 waved to me in my S2000 not long ago.
Re: Drivers waving!
Do we have to be ashamed if we are the wave initiator?
All Loti get a wave from me (except for the blue S1 Elise owner that resolutely ignored me going into the Clyde Tunnel in slow traffic ) , and I had 2x "fook-me there is another VXR8 coming the other way" moments whilst I had mine - which may have caused me to flash my lights and raise a geeky hand.....

Lotus and Caterham for sure. Although I'm too busy trying to wake up the wife and tell her to look at the Lotus (which she then always misses anyway) to wave, and when I see they've waved I feel bad that I never waved back.

Re: Drivers waving!
I found up North all Porsche drivers waved at each other but down South not so much. If I was being rude, I would say the enthusiasts wave and the posers don't...
Re: Drivers waving!
Always in the Elise and a surprising amount in the Boxster.
Re: Drivers waving!
Back when I was driving beetles, Aircooled VW drivers would usually wave and often with the specific hangloose gesture
