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?
