I got a wave other day - the fella passed me and lifted his arm - I was pottering as the oil temp hadn’t got far from the bottom. He must have thought that old fart doesn’t deserve to be in a 35is :rofl:
There's an up hill section of dual lane a few hundred yards from my front door. The number a micras and 2.0 tdis that must past me pulling out up that hill and thought the same. Takes a good 5 or 6 miles before mine is ready to play and then a few corners to bring the MPSS out to play too. :D :driving: :thumbsup:

Sorry, I'm in the "waving to strangers because they drive the same car is a bit weird" group too; however if a Z4 is waiting for a gap in traffic I'll usually give them the space to come out.
and as the fabric of society slowly unravels.....

Indeed - I have to say I don't get this either.

There are not many Z4s down here in NZ and Christchurch, but there is a guy I see each morning in a grey E86. I waved to him everyday and finally now he waves back :) .

Every day and hour spent behind the wheel of a Zed makes me smile a whole lot. Had a super-sunny early winters day this AM in CHCH and I was like a kid waiting for Christmas before I headed off to work knowing I got to drive my Zed today!

What more do you need to make you smile and wave! :driving: :D

Not many wave :thumbsdown:
Happened to me last week in the same circumstances. Oil was still cold. Only it was a sand and gravel wagon in a hurry. They are paid by the load I believe. The raised finger was accompanied by a mouthful of abuse. I can't say I had a lot of sympathy when I saw he had been pulled over by an officer of the law with a speed gun in the next village to ours. I did manage to refrain from returning his wave. :thumbsup:
Carma is a wonderful thing for sure. Back when I was a teenager and poor I would walk about 5 miles to my local disco to save on bus fares and try to hitch a lift (which rarely happened) One day a bus driver was laughing so much as he drove by me he failed to notice a lorry was waiting to turn right and drove into the back of him. It was a surreal moment as moments later I walked past him and saw his face change from laughter to his head in his hands.
 
I used to drive a Beetle when i was younger - the classic VW drivers love a wave! Did used to like the 'community' spirit of VW :thumbsup:

But then i used to spot an old VW from miles off. I'm usually a bit late noticing Zs so forget to wave!

Occasionally there is a bit of justice. :D
