I'm hoping I'll get more response when I'm back in London.
Doubt it mate.. Alfa drivers in London dont seem to notice another Alfa. From reading this thread looks like the majority are from outside of London. Ill look out for you, im not too far from Croydon

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Alfa waves are so much fun, I keep free styling as the passenger. I think I'm confusing my fellow locals.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Don't be down on 156/147 owners. To be fair though I let a 2001 Gtv out of a side street on Friday expecting a smile or a wave. No such luck, he looked at me as if he had found me on the sole of his shoe!!!!Maybe he borrowed it off a mate?

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Was followed by a silver GTV this morning around 07:00 on the M4 between J8/9 and J11. It was tipping it down and partially dark so it was difficult to see if they waved or not.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I experienced my first ever Alfa wave on my first ever day of Alfa ownership.

Saw an Alfa Red Brera while driving in the 166, flashed the lights and waved at him, and he waved back!

Almost as cool as getting the car itself!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Got my first Alfa wave today - I used to wonder what you guys were always talking about.

A guy in an 07 GT Monza let me into the traffic on Mount Merrion Rd in Dublin. He drew level at the lights and gave me a little wave. A few smiles - made my day anyway! And his nice clean GT put my filthy dirty GT to shame...

Anyway if you ever read this I'm just saying hello and thanks for letting me into the traffic!!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Flashed like a loon and waved at a black/dark grey 159Ti on an '07 plate who flew past me on the M40 southbound somewhere North of Northampton at around half past 1 today, got nothing

Same story with a blue 156 1.8TS who overtook me further down towards the Stokenchurch Gap at 2ish

Not that those times are to be used to figure out how fast I was going...

GTV Cup No.127

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Seen two cars in Croydon I would have waved at, had I been in the Cup

Saw another Cup in South Croydon at about 12:30 on Saturday, then saw a yellow Spider in almost the same place today at about the same time.

I didn't feel it would be right to wave when I was in the Merc.
