Do you wave?

b_1_rd · 21st June 2017, 19:43

I've tried a friendly wave at a couple of 75's recently but seem to get nothing but a blank face or snotty nosed look back!

Perhaps my car is too clean

or are we not quite at that stage yet and too many commoners

and not enthusiasts still own these cars.

Just wondered if anyone here bothers to wave at other 75's or ZT's

Gave up waving up here long ago, either get ignored or a funny look.

I wave, if I don't get a wave back...I wait till I see another 75 owner...and wave again, eventually, I get a wave back. Robert the Bruce and the spider scenario.

I wave and more often then not get an acknowledgement back!

I'm not going to wave at strangers in cars waving like loonies

Quite often get a wave from other ZTs and sometimes other MGs but in 6 years of ownership never from a 75 so I don't bother now

.

I generally don't look at the drivers in cars that pass me and I have better things to do when driving than wave at random strangers.

I've chatted to a few Rover and MG drivers when in petrol stations/supermarket car parks and the like though.
