Should one wave?

[starlingadey]

When one encounters a fellow Mk 5er? I confess the idea makes me feel a bit foolish but wouldn't want to let the side down if its expected. Haven't been waved too myself yet though....or do I have to go first lol??!

I give a salute but it's not always reciprocated...

Are most mk5 owners VW enthusiasts?  I would say 99% are not so you'll get loads of blank expressions if you do wave.  Mk1/2/camper/original beetle owners would be.

I always try to analyse first b4 a flash or wave, but by then its too late! but then I havent seen many Golf gti's etc...a couple of pensioners in a ED30 most times, thats about it!
But when I have waved to the odd golf I get a funny look.... 'like who's that cu*t '

R32 owners do 'the nod'

Iv found it to be a waste of time with other MK5s lol

Yes one should.  And one will find that in 90% of cases, one will either be ignored or looked at like one has a mental problem

I've flashed and nodded and got a nod back once

Not bothered otherwise, there's too many about - it would take most of my journey up just flashing and waving!

The thing is, the chance is high in any situation when one waves! not just in a golf!....
Next time when your out driving just wave to a random person and out of reaction, they will wave back before they think ''Who's that!?'' ....quite funny!!
(and I don't mean the Bus w8nker's wave!)

Yep thats very true

Also does anyone else with Xenons keep getting flashed by other road users (usually in old cars) thinking you've got high beam on or something?
