!!!!! It must be xmas!!!!!
I have often moaned on here about "most" NOT ALL, but "most" 75 drivers being stuck up gits, but today I had a shock! a rover 75 tourer driver ACTUALLY FLASHED ME and I mean in the headlight meaning, not the opening of his coat etc, I was totally shocked by this goodwill gesture and can only put it down to christmas goodwill! ps, if the friendly (rare) guy is reading this then a merry xmas to you and yours

I don't flash but tend to raise a hand and smile, don't usually get a response around here though..
My missus thinks i'm mad to bother tbh and the friendliest lot i've come across are Land Rover drivers as I was constantly getting waves etc. when we had ours. Note not Disco drivers though..'Proper' Land Rovers (we had a swb series 3)..

I have to say MKIV Supra owners tend to flash each other but I have not had anyone flash (headlights) or wave in a 75 or ZT yet.
I will keep an eye out now though

When I first got TGB I tried flashing the lights in hello to to others and raised a hand with a smile and got back blank looks ............................................... so gave up on it.

I don't flash, wave, nod, smile or anything.... Tried it once or twice and gave up, waste of time really....
I used to in the MR2 and always got reciprocated...
