you see another MK5 GTI??
when i had a mini some years back we used to do this, i also used to do it when i saw another MK1 GTI
-
I used to do it, but got so many strange looks from people that didn't understand what I meant! I think the GTI is too common for it really.
Its a big thing for all Lotus owners - everyone flashes and waves! Great feeling too :smiley: :smiley:
-
....
Yes, and I do it to other VW's too such as all Mk GTI's, R32's, Campers, Beetles/Bugs.
I now do the 'thumb+little finger, twist the wrist' wave which means "V" and "W".
This is the one : - [friend called 'Dodgy']

I've only ever seen your middle finger in action in the pics RR :grin:
I wave or flash if I see them soon enough :smiley:
-
I look and if they look as though they may be an enthusiast I will wave/thumbs up/flash. Often don't get a response but as more cars are sold through the second hand market I think we will get more response! :happy2:

ha ha i know what you mean,
lets bring it back people, bring it back.....
-
.....
Yep! Bring it back!! :happy2:
I always wave if I see them in time and if they don't wave back then they are the miserable losers.
Hey, can we have a 'VW finger wave' smilie icon pleeeeeeeeeeease, dear Moderators?
Joe, u got 1?

My dad has a Porsche 911 - all the 911 salute each other - just we never salute the copy's e.g Boxster and Cayman.
Quite funny really - sometimes they salute up to us, but 911 owners never salute back. :signLOL:
The true porsche is the 911 - owning a Boxster or Cayman proves you can afford a 911 and is a cheap way of saying i own a Porsche.

^^^^
That's rather snobbish differentiating between Porsche versions like that :sad:

Most pathetic thing i have ever heard.
The cayman is actually a better car (platform) than the 911 and is given higher reviews than all but the RS 911 in most i have seen. I would have a cayman s over most 911's to be honest, only the GT2/3 RS, Turbo and Carrera 2S are true 911's the rest are for people to buy to say ''i own a porsche'' :wink:
The boxster is one of the best sports cars on the road, i would proudly own one. Amazing noise, feedback, handling, quality and power 8)
Which one would you say is the better car?

Oh and to the OP, i get admirational nods off GTI owners and R32 owners alike. Im more of a subtle nodder than a full on psycho waver :laugh:
-
I wave or flash the lights when I'm in my mk1 when I see another mk1 but wouldn't do it in the Mk5, as said before they are a bit too common.
-
....
When I was driving around in the S4 I found myself waving at GTI's out of habit but then remembering I wasn't in one! No wonder no-one waved back!
-
it seems people wave when u r in older dubs. i only get people waving when im in my mk 1, never in the mk5. its mostly people in campers, mk1 or mk2 golfs.
-
R32's wave at each other, they are a bit rarer though.
What are ED30 owners like?
-
....
I think that Ed30 owners (hopefully) wave at 'ordinary' and extraordinary GTI's. The differences are subtle.
I don't usually wave at Mk5 GT drivers but will if they wave first.
Girls driving Mk4 R32's make me want to turn around and follow them! :evilgrin:
