Everyone Waves At Me..

[JappyBeast]

What is the deal with that?

When I had my old mini, every other mini driver would wave.

I would at least expect the odd wave from the fellow MR2 driver but never get anything.

Today alone I got waved at by a man in an MX-5,

a guy in an american muscle car (dunno why).

And a fit chick in a black corsa (I have no clue who she it).

Do you think the majority of MR2 owners are not actually that proud of their cars? Sometimes I wonder if they really care what they are driving.

I waved at a Blue Seo the other day, he was waiting to come onto a big roundabout that I was on - guy totally cut me dead, didn't even smile.

He must have realised what car I was coz of the plate! I can count on one hand the amount of other Seo's I've seen on the road in two years....weird!

waved at him & he blanked me compleatly -even pulled along side & looked over - again nothing.

probably didnt realise that the Cynos was the jap sister of the paseo.

:D Wasn't me J!

Dazh I would have recognised yours!!!

I think it's a little weird when it's such a rare car. Never mind!

[Jimlad]

the majority of mr2 drivers I see don't bother waving. I generally wave and flash.... probably think I'm a right nut job !! .. lol

I remember going down to England in Jappys Mini once.... every single mini we came across either flashed or waved at us.

Yea Mini's & Beetles are great for that aren't they! My mates old Mk1 Golf GTI occasionally got that also.

[Karma Supra]

Yeah its funny some do some don't. I think there are a few MR2s about now so not so many of the drivers are enthusiasts?? Its funny in my Mk3 supra most mk3 drivers ignore me (lets sat abouta 1/4 wave? but nearly all mk4 driver scknowledge me in some way... nearly ALL probe drivers do... as with the mini.

In the lada everyone just points and laughs

[EircamAE86]

So true mate, i always have a good look at other toyotas and salute anyone i see looking back, mr2 drivers seem oblivious to it all. Alot of mr2 drivers drive around wearing parka jackets posing. Ive been laughed at in my ae86, those smug :censor: dont laugh when i go past em sideways he, he

There doesnt seem to be many real enthusiasts drivin em, or is that a bit too presumptious, dont get me wrong i like em

[SuperRetard]

EircamAE86... just got to say (in an Avid Merrion stylee) "I focking love your car man! It make me do secks wee!"

Tuned-to-<I thought I could get past the swearing filter - what a sad muppet I am eh?> AE86s battling it out sideways... in fact, check this out!

MRS vs. AE86 downhill... Can you say SIDEWAYS*?

*REAL PLAYER REQUIRED!

[EircamAE86]

[SuperRetard]

From an MR2 (Roadster) owner.

Just for you.

[Funkadelic]

Sod MR2 drivers - I've had one wave back and been flashed once, and that's it.

I was mucking about with a Roadster today. I'm not sure if he ha a clue what was going on but I had fun overtaking, pulling in and letting him come past and then overtaking again (and repeat). I even had a laugh with a bird in a Fiesta today. The funniest thing, though, was the fact that she was driving her boyfriend.

I flash everything - MR2s, TVRs, 360s, Elises, M12s.

TVR drivers are the best ones though - They're nearly always up for a laugh.

Incidentally, if anybody in an MR2 in Surrey or Hampshire spots a stupidly loud, black MR2 about then give me a shout ;)

As you see by my previous post I gave a friendly and courtious wave, so I take it your comments are aimed at all MR2 drivers!!---Like the attitude (NOT!!!!!)

[Funkadelic]

Well, I'm pretty convinced the majority of MR2 drivers bought their cars for none other than the reason that they look nice (meaning that they're just posers, basically) - Otherwise perhaps some of the, shall we say, "community spirit" I so frequently attempt to show towards other MR2 drivers would be returned in kind, but it isn't. I've not given up, but suffice to say that, yes, I actually think that the majority of MR2 drivers can sod off. It's only people like those on this forum; the people that constitute a minority and that actually do return a little respect and courtesy, that make it all worthwhile.

Harsh words there!

I wouldnt strereotype, A BMW driver actually thanked me today for letting him in. :D Nobody ever waves at me tho just for the hell of it
