Do you acknowledge other Zed drivers on the road?
- Thread starter Marlon
- Start date
I used to be acknowledged all the time when I used my Westfield on the road and by all kinds of other drivers. Now it's just a track car it's always trailered on the road, so it gets fewer waves 
In my S2000 I get waves from other roadsters fairly often, especially with the roof down, but I almost never see any response from other drivers when I'm in my Zed. None of the above applies on London where rule of "stare straight ahead and don't make eye contact ever" seems to be universal.

If I see an E85/6 driver I would otherwise not so much..
Flashed lights and thumbs up at oncoming Z4 Roadster today.....nothing in return :x
Pulled into petrol station alongside Z4 ///M Coupe a few minutes later. Looked over to try catch his attention/give him the thumbs up but he didn't even flinch :thumbsdown: He definitely knew I was there though, as he did his best to lose me flooring it down the M40 on-ramp..... no chance of that though!
Maybe he just doesn't like Alpinas!

No, I get enough of that nonsense when I'm out on the bike, I feel like a bleedin' nodding dog some days. I don't want to wave to anyone, just leave me alone and let me drive my car and ride my bike in peace. The MX5 people did (still do i guess) this and it got right on my tits.
Fortunately, no other Z4 driver has ever waved to me around here - us northerners are too pragmatic for such frivoity :evil:

Mmmmm, this might explain the lack of responses (I live in Lancashire)
Apologies Marlon, I get it from my Dad, he used to get pissed off with AA patrolmen saluting him! He took the damned badge off the car in the end
I'll make an exception in your case and wave to you if I see you - but you must put a large sunshade in your screen reading "Marlon" so I'll know it's you.

, well I will certainly recognise you if our paths ever cross - that's a very distinctive looking Zed you have there
