Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Waved at a blue Brera in Cleckheaton this morning.
The Dr Who lookalike driver gave me a bemused wave in return.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
A chap in a red 147 was driving past as I was getting into my car outside Halfords in Uxbridge this afternoon. Gave him a thumbs up, and he gestured back to me in the way one might gesture to a prince!
Best Alfa wave I ever had that's for sure!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
I think I'm going to have to give up on waving.
In London there are just too many! There's two 147's in my street, one day I passed 2 GTA's 2 GT's and a 159 just in a 4 mile trip to work
None of them returned the wave...

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
This is really odd.... where I live there are probably 6 Alfas - at least thats how many I have counted. I know one owner well from work (Susan, blue 147) but none of the others. After whining that nobody waved at all when I was touring the UK recently, I was driving back from the gym today and saw two Alfas BOTH WHO WAVED BACK!.
OK one was Susan.
OK here in Orkney EVERYONE waves like lunatics whatever the marque - we are insanely friendly.
But it made me smile.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Gave a big wave to a chap driving a blue 156 Westbound on the M26 yesterday afternoon as I was convoying back with Jon and Dinesh - he returned it enthusiastically too. I think the other two may have had the same treatment based on what I saw in my mirror - think we all pulled level with him for a moment as we overtook to say hello

Here's the weird thing - on the drive there (from Wokingham) I only saw one other Alfa, on the way back I saw NONE. Where did they all go?
Cheers,
Nigel

I'm even closer than that - I'm actually in Finchampstead so am around the Sandhurst area quite a lot. Make sure you wave first - I've given up waving as I get so few responses (unless it's a GTA, I always wave at them) but always wave back if waved at.....
Cheers,
Nigel
