Why don't we wave to each other? I have owned a Mini 1275GT and a 1600E and when ever I saw another car the same I always waved and got a response. There are a few mk2 owners around where I lived but not once has any of them returned my hail. Shame eh!
-
must be your location mate. the dubbers in cheshire always wave. even to some one in a b5 passat with nothing but black badges and a genuine boot spoiler to destiguish it as a dubbers car. just keep waving till they get the hint :grin: :evil: :grin:
-
A guy from another forum in a mk4 nodded at me once and i nodded back but around here its mostly old people (aka 70 ye olds) driving older golfs and estate agents driving mk3 gti's
-
oh big post! i have this exact same problem i drive a white 1.3 golf with a blue bonnet and a gti grill! i never ever get a wave or a hoot! if anyone on here sees me in the nottingham area give me wave a peep a flash anything to keep the spirit alive! :grin:
-
up here in scotland get waves and smiles all the time...even chat in traffic jams :grin:
-
Always get Nods from mk2 owners around west london, mk3 mk4 owners just start revving their engines :grin:
-
People in dubs around Oxford are generally nob jockeys and either ignore or one guy in particular will look at you like you're a piece of sh!t. However, around Milton keynes and Northampton it's hard to concentrate with the amount of people waving and flashing their lights! Alright, maybe a slight exaggeration......
-
I flash!
Only other Mk2's though.
-
MK2 Drivers in Worcester area always wave or nod ..
-
I always NOD! or Wave, Only if someone else does it first though. I had someone chase me the other day for about 5 miles in a sprinter! (DODGY AREA)
-
I took my mk2 out for the first time in ages on Sat and as i came to some lights a modded red mk2 came the other way, i waved and he just looked at me as if i had gone mad! Its a good feelin when someone flashes or waves at you from another mk2 :grin:
-
I'm another ex-Mini man. Always good fun to acknowledge others with similarly good taste.
Not much Golf waveage round my way either. I'll keep flashing/waving & see what I can do.

:huh: theres traffic in scotland?
-
I don't wave or flash any other MK2's but thats normally because i don't notice them until it's too late, but I do nod my head if I make eye contact. That's if I do ever see other MK2's, don't have many my way :sad:
-
There are quite a few people round me with some tasty Golfs, so if anyone gets a wave form a MK2 Gti in black from in the South Manchester, around Didsbury, Withington, Fallowfield area, please wave back :grin:
I love it when i'm in my Camper, we all wave and grin at each other

i have a beetle and we always wave at each other :tongue:. i have had a wave from a guy in a camper when i was is the mk2 so waved back :laugh:.
-
people r so stuck up round my way nobody nods not even other bikers when on me firestorm
-
There are Lots of people in Mk2 golfs is my area but i only flash if they look like they are fans! or if they are going the same way they are always up for a little "Race" Not if they are people that dont giva what they drive! What a waste of a golf!
-
A lot of passengers I have are amused/confused by all the waving and flashing - it helps when your car is low and wide, it's easily spotted - but I always wave if I see them first or if it's a farmer in his jetta with no clue what's going on :laugh:
-
I always wave too, to Mk2s, Mk1s and any funky campers I see, but as before, only if they look like they're into their cars.
Spotted a mint red mk2 northbound on the m5 the other day, so pulled in behind him and convoyed it for a bit. Dude gave me a big thumbs up when I got bored and went past him.
Everyone should be doing the same, it's nice if you've had a crap day at work, are driving home and someone gives you a thumbs up :)
^^But then again, I suppose that's going against the general attitude of this country at the moment - eveyone's an enemy until proven otherwise....... shame.
-
il flash people but get strange looks in return :tongue:

Are you sure you're talking about the same kind of "flashing"?
-

-
The only time I've been waved, or flashed at is when I was stood on the side of the road getting a lecture for going waaaay to fast :angry:
-
Everything I drive is VW, thats a gti, cabrio and a LT van, I nod and smile at all other vw's, they all think I staring at them I think, only in the notts/derby area though, never had that in the nw, always got a return nod or wave!!
-
I gave some guy the thumbs up when I was walking down the street and he rolled up to the traffic lights in a bright orange mk1 and he nodded back.
I usually don't notice other mk2s until they've gone past :sad:
Had some guy in a vr6 corrado grin at me as he undertook me on a dual carriage way as I was stuck in a queue of traffic behind some old woman doing 45. :rolleyes:
