i wave at other Z4 owners, they just look back as if Im some kind of knob. mostly these have been e89 drivers. as thats what i have.
its not like the days of past when I had my MGF. other owners would often wave, but then, these days, community is all but gone. everyone is wary and most people are aggressive towards others. shame really.

I see an e85 and an e89 every day. They never wave. Ive given up trying with those two now. Although if i see a different one i always acknowledge them, never had a response yet though.

I never mind if I don't get a response as one waver makes up for a few misses.
It's the confusion/slating from any passengers which is the worst! haha

Been great weather here recently. I have been waving at all sorts. Old tractors, on there way to some village fate. A frog eye. A whole convoy of f types and xks in aTavi and even the odd Zed.

Ha Ha, yes please do, then I wont feel so bad!
There are actually a lot of Z's on the roads near me, I see one almost every time I go out now the weather is not so pants.
even saw one nearly identical to mine the other day, but I was unlucky, they were a split second in front of me at a set of traffic lights. Or look at it another way, I would have been sat right next to them in the next lane, so probably saved myself looking like a complete tool waving away at them lol

Proper laughed at that one! I imagined it being one of those four way traffic lights that take 2 minutes to change and you waving the whole time with the other person pretending to have not noticed you!
Being a new owner, I haven't got into the habit of giving or acknowledging a wave when I see another Z yet. Don't think I'd wave to an E89 driver for fear of the "who are YOU and WHY are you waving at ME?!" reaction I'd most likely get!!

Mine doesn't say Z4 on the back does that mean I don't get a wave
