Title: Do Mk5 GTi drivers wave to each other?
Post by: Alan C on 28 May 2006, 13:15

For some years I've had cars that are interesting and rare enough that their drivers wave to one another on the road.   I had an MX5 when there were only 6000 in the UK,  I've recently had a Mini Cooper S,  my wife had a New Beetle in its early days and now has a Beetle Cabrio - and all these cars seemed to generate waves and smiles from their drivers.   I know it's silly but I like this.

Given how rare the Mk5 GTi still is on the roads, I assumed it would be the same but in the 3 weeks since I took delivery of mine no-one has waved to me or responded to my waves.

Have I really joined such an unfriendly community?

I'll wave when I get mine.

You sure your waving with your whole hand and not a selection of fingers?

Hi there Alan,

I will most definatly wave, once I pick up my car.

I do love that notion of being able to be part of a big extended family.

I wave / flash my headlights - but only to Mk1, Mk2 and Mk5's... the odd very exceptional Mk3 or Mk4 may get a response from me, but very unlikely  :rolleyes:
