My theory on not waving at other Z4's

[Anonymous]

I get a wave (more often a nod though) from fellow 911s though - caught me off guard a few times as I was not expecting it.

Are you sure its a wave? Maybe its the other hand gesture that's of a similar motion before they remember they're driving a Porsche too <- because porsche drivers are know for their Alzheimer's

In seriousness, I think that as prices become ever cheaper more non-enthusiast owners are buying Z4s, They are the ones unlikely to wave surely?

Most enthusiasts would wave. Classic mini owners for example, always wave....but then Joe Public won't be buying a classic mini.

From my observation the semi-old people who are typical new-BMW buyers are more ignorant of the team spirit.

I usually get. hand singles from other Zed drivers when they pass me ........ I generaly get the impression they are not impressed with my new driving style adopted after my epic points collecting incident earlier this year

Is it really that common then, to wave at other in cars? I've had different sports cars but for neither one of them anyone waved or flashed driving the same car... I think it's just something people don't do. When I drive my X1 or Superb, I don't wave at similar war owners either

Think it has a lot to do with the old British sports car scene. I used to drive MGs years ago and was always getting waved and flashed at from other MGs in the owners club. Triumph owners did the same.

I always give other Zs the finger - sorry I mean a friendly finger or two raised from the steering wheel in acknowledgment of our shared appreciation of our cars. Don't do a full on wave but will flash back if flashed at. Don't always get anything back but I do seem to get more acknowledgment in summer with the roof off.

I'll keep doing my bit in the hope it rubs off!

If you want people to wave get a mobile home they wave at any mobile home regardless of make/ model

I always acknowledge other zed's, so far I've had one thumbs up back

When I was 17 and drove an MG Midget, a wave was pretty much compulsory. Basically, it can be summed up, - rare cars share a wave.

Z4 is NOT a rare car. Coupe or M maybe, but otherwise, no.

Bikers pretty much always nod. I guess we feel that we share a knowledge that everyone else does not. :wink:
