Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Coompletely ignored today by a nice Misano Blue Brera with non-std exhausts (round, black quad pipes) between Glattbrug & Zurich airport.

I'll let you off as I was in a Toyota Avensis taxi rather than my Spider

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Just been flashed by a silver 147 in Tidworth near Salisbury. I waved back, wife said you don't see that often.

Then went round the next bend straight into a "Safety Van"

So thanks buddy, 'cos the car behind you also flashed and that got me thinking! Managed to slow to exactly 30mph! Not that I would speed in a built-up area you understand.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I followed a red Brera into Annan today with a private plate on. I don't think the driver looked in their mirror

And there was a silver 156 (I think) at the Bank Street lights in Annan - I waved but they were a few cars back.....

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Soundly beaten by a stunning V6 red Brera off the lights on the A30 - we both parked in the Exeter Airport Car park, didnt wave but had a chat in the bus to the terminal!! Counts for 2 I reckon!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Don't see too many Alfa's around here, but I do try to make some kind of acknowledgement of the presence of another tasteful motorist. Very rarely get anything back, I think some people just don't get it. Weirdest moment was in a petrol station, lady pulled in right next to me in a nice red 147. I commented that you don't see that ever so often (meaning two alfa's parked adjacent - and it really is rare around here!). She looked at me like I was crazy - even after I fumbled over the explanation I am sure she still thought I was mad!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Saw a Silver GTV in London, then another one right behind it with the aero kit. Jumped up and down with excitement, then the second GTV driver saw me...acknowledged me, so I waved back, with a big grin

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Got a wave from a chap in a black GTV on the London road in Brentwood this morning.

As luck would have it, I was changing gear at the time so best I could do was a 'quick raised palm from the wheel'.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Just moved to Truro and haven't had one alfa wave yet, not for the want of trying either, there's a few 156's about here, only seen 2 other 147's (5 door in blue and a 05 3 door in red) so far. Will just have to keep trying.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Drove back from Paignton yesterday and passed a gold GTV spider, 3 147's and a 2 146's. All I got back was a wave from one of the 146's........

Are we ready (Al Murray style)

Shame on you, Shame on you, Shame on you!!!!!!!!!
