That's it...I'm done waving at Roadsters!

Jay-Z4 said:I've acknowledged 5 or 6 roadies since becoming a Z4C owner just over a week ago and all I've got in return is a blank expression or a "who is this nutter?" look
From now on I'm limiting my nods and waves to Coupes only
Mini rant over 8)
Hope one of those wasn't me, I spotted a Black Z coupe in traffic, at the last minute and didn't have time to wave. Can't even remember where but would've been the Kidderminster/Stourport/Bewdley area on Fri/Sat/Sun. Lol, can't be more specific.
If it was me, apologies, I do wave at other Zeds. Unless I spot them too late.
Only had my car a month and think I wave or flash lights to all Z4s if I see them but only had one wave back!
I did have a strange day a couple of weeks ago where 3 non Zeds waved at me which caught me by surprise, wasn't sure if I imagined a wave or it was perhaps a different hand gesture!

I was waved by a nice couple in a Z3 from Germany
Thus far I've had no acknowledgement from Roadsters around my parts - maybe it's the Oxfordshire lot being a bunch of boring dullards 
1 Coupe I see regularly in the mornings who I wave at, pretty certain they're not a member though. I was in traffic with another Coupe the other day, and as I was crawling passed I glanced over with a massive great big grin on my face... Only to get blanked for around 10 seconds, before briefly being looked at the with most unemotional face I've ever witnessed! Would've stuck my window down for a chat had he been friendly
Nevermind. I'll keep going for now, not given up hope yet!

Right, next time I'm coming down your way, I will let you know and we can have a wave fest :lol:

I'm paused because of parked cars so can let oncoming traffic thru.
Does it p1ss you off as much as me when they don't say thanks? :evil:
Yes, big time, I normally give the other driver the bird or if my window is down, I shout "Thank you" also showing the finger
thepits said:Me too. I always wave at them - and coupes, I'm not biasedMarlon said:I often get the same lack of response from roadsters, and I drive one!- but I get the feeling that most other Z4 drivers are on auto-pilot, so unless a car is directly in front of them, and they are about to crash, they have no idea what is going on.
It's all down to their peripheral vision - or lack of.
Keep waving - if it's me, I'll wave back

I think that part of the problem is that 90% of Z4 owners see them as being "just another car".
They are not driven by enthusiasts, to them it is no different than driving a Mondeo. So if you wave at one of those 90% no wonder you don't get a positive response.

Ha, well I would describe a manly wave as keeping both hands on the steering wheel then lifting the 4 fingers of your right hand whilst keeping the thumb on the wheel. You could perhaps nod at the same time. I wouldn’t recommend taking your hand off the wheel and waving it side to side vigorously whilst smiling.
I will never give up waving ! if the stone faced miserable sods don't wave back it is them who have the problem !
KEEP WAVING ALIVE !!!!!!!
KEEP WAVING ALIVE !!!!!!!
