However, it's not in the spirit of cameraderie or being friendly to other zed owners. No, it's more in the spirit of taking the p!ss out of me from when she caught me waving to another zed
'jesus, it's not like ur in a beetle or something!' she said. It became a point of contention and now she has to completely overdo it. Grrr
I can forgive her very easily tho. Now it's just vaguely amusing

other than that... perhaps she needs reminding where the sidewalk is? lol
thats what i always tell my kids when they are naughty? 'do you want to walk?'

Hahahaaa - I'm an ex-biker, and wondered the same thing... There is another Zed owner who is local to me, my wife waved at him the other day - we were treated to a "who-are-you" squint!!

Driving to through Wales to Anglesey earlier today, sun blazing top down, flashed and waved to a 640, felt a right muppet. On the Island heading to Trearddur Bay waved to a Zed no reaction.

I can't help thinking the reaction you get varies according to where you are!
I'm much more likely to get a positive reaction anywhere in the country apart from the South East - where I live.

It's funny how economical people are with waves (and smiles). Perhaps I missed the memo that we are all being charged £20 for returning a friendly greeting!

I live in Bedford and I spotted a black Z4 MC that was really nicely modded. It had a nurberg sticker on the rear.
The chap driving his coupe saw me and we both had a moment of oh my god another M coupe and modded at that.
After the shock I waved and smiled as did he. It was great and made me happy. Clearly Z4 MC owners are a classy breed probably less ego with the roof on hahaha.
If anyone owns that lovely coupe we should meet up for an early morning blast.

I think the no wave can be mistaken identity - there are a few BMW s that face on, look very much like a Z. - if you wait and make sure it’s a Z it’s gone - then if it was you’ve joined the ranks of the non wavers!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Theres a red e89 in my area, almost identical to mine, I have now seen it 3 times.
I was at bluewater the other day and parked next to it.
I had the higher moral ground because mine was clean and theirs was not.
lol, 2 red zeds sat next to one another, but the owner is still a mystery to me., (I should have got a pic, now thinking on it)
Wonder if they will be out today, mine is clean as a whistle and ready for a good old top down sun filled tear up today.

Too many open tops and friendly ways to count today. Gorgeous day for a drive out across the moors and back.
One no waver was noted though. Black E85, shame on you who ever you are.
