Why Does No One Wave?

[suepj]

This is probably a girlie question, you boys will think I am daft. But everytime I see a Yaris T Sport like mine (which is not very often) I wave to the driver. No one has ever waved back to me. Why do you think that is? When my husband is out in his EVO V everyone with the same car or a Subaru Impreza waves to him. So why are we Toyota drivers so unsociable?

Maybe it's just the Welsh :P

Well If your down North London way, I'll wave to you :D

I hope all you who read this thread do as well !!!

Kaz

[suepj]

Maybe but I have been across the bridge into England as well

[suepj]

Thanks Kaz. I'll look out for you if I come to North London.

Perhaps we could start a Toyota waving craze !!

lol.... i thought i'd left that all behind with the Aircooled VW crowd, Hang Loose....... :P

I know what u meen, I don't think people know that they are part of a "possy!" ;)

[Guest Calum]

With the amount of toyotas on the road up here in bradford, if i wave to each one, i'm far too likely to crash!

[scoobyspanker]

maybe the Yaris isn't bought by people who love cars? Some idiots may see it as a nice little hatch..look at all the old ladies u see driving 1.9 205 GTI's!!

With the two Paseo's i've ever past we just looked at each other in confusion then laughed!!!

[scoobyspanker]

97paseo, what engine's do those things have?? (I no nothing about them )

[97paseo]

They have the 5EFE 1.5 16v. Not many people have seen one thats why I got it!!!!

[TheNissanMan]

Maybe it's just the Welsh :P

Oi..... (Welsh blokey here...)

It depends on the drivers I guess, with the the MR2's I find the majority of people wave back or flash their lights, guess the Yaris must be one of those unsociable cars :P

I guess you've just been unlucky with the owners you've come accross....

[scoobyspanker]

try flashing ur !Removed! :D they will give u a reaction then ;)

[Carlgolsby]

That'd definitely get a reaction! ;)

last time I saw another Sera (who I didn't know) and its only been once, I waved and they just stared back at me like I was mad or something

[gordypix]

Well we do live in Great Britain. You know how stiff the Brits can be at times.

Either that or they think a waver is just plain weird.

If someone waves at me, by the time I've worked out if they are actually waving at me and/or if I know them they are already dust............

try flashing ur !Removed! :D they will give u a reaction then ;)

headlamp joke there somewhere! :P

Suepi -

Wave at someone you don't know in a car? You want to live in the South East of England - I don't even know my own neighbours !

[TheNissanMan]

Still can't believe you say noone waves, was driving up from J24 of the M4 towards monmouth yesterday and had a moment which made me think of this post....

approx 4.30pm not going much over 85mph with the roof off came up on the outisde of a blue ford escort, coupleof girls in the back (all looked over 20) and next thing I know I got a thumbs up out of the drivers window and then another two out of the rear passsengers window :D

Also passed another dark blue Mk2 MR2 this morning and quick nod of the headback in return to the wave I gave him :)

[suepj]

Well I am glad that my post caused some reaction.

So maybe it's not the Welsh after all !

[TheNissanMan]

Definately not just the welsh, I'm always waving and seeing whose around, even wave at an elise convoy yesterday, got waves back :)

Maybe you should try waving with all fingers rather than just the middle one facing forwards :P :D

[gordypix]

Nice result with the Escort Rhaines. Would have been even better if they had flagged you down and handed their digits over. Jokes......
