I got the Alfa wave!!

i thought weirdos waved personally when i had a subaru and evo i used get waves , so i sold my car ,

sorry to say bye bye alfa gt this weekend

only kidding , but you explain to your mrs why some blonde chick just flashed her lights at you ,

i had to explain in detail why

Nice little convoy of red S3, my red Spider and a red 156 between J9 & J11 on M25 this am. Nice cheery wave from the couple in the S3 but no response from the 156

Having just driven from Bootle to Salisbury via Stafford (220 miles), and seeing NO Alfas on the M57, M62, M5 or M6 but three ( 156, 156 SW and a Brera) in the first 5 miles after leaving the M5 are Alfas allergic to Motorways?

Also we seem to have a new breed of Alfa drivers that ignore the passion. No eye contact, no recognition, nothing!

Someboody in a blue 147 did the little finger wave I normally do (in case they don't wave back and you feel stupid) yesterday near York University. Anyone on here? I did it back but a bit late. I'm in a silver 156 by the way.

This morning over the dartford bridge.. side by side with a blue X reg 156 V6 with an autodelta badge on the back. Italian style Euro plate (UK car though)... He glanced at my alloys... but no return wave.

Thumbs up from a guy in a white 156 yesterday driving through Mountain.
Seen him before, think he lives nearby.



Also, day before saw a girl in a GT on the M62 with the reg L12 JTD.
I think she might have been called Liz.

Well, I though I got an Alfa wave, I was driving down our main motorway 'Sheikh Zayed Road' here in Dubai and got a lots of waves. Thinking that it was due to a nice shiney Alfa, cruising down with the top down, it turned out that all the frantic waves was due to a cheap bed mattress being stuck to the underbelly of the car, whilse cruising at 80mph! Pulled over with a bunch of locals to help me out! How on earth it didn't spark up is beyond me, haha.

got another 2 in the last couple of days, from a chap in a lipari grey facelift 156 SW in bury, then another facelift 156 saloon (silvery grey colour) in ramsbottom

Well I have to hand the 159 back on monday when I pick my 156 up so didn't think I'd get any waves so had a pleasant surprise on the way home. Followed a red 156 (02 plate) with a big wing for 3 or 4 miles through country roads (fairly spirited driving but nothing silly) and then pulled up alongside at some traffic lights. We both looked across, smiled and nodded at each other. Then when the lights changed nodded again!

Top man!

I got the Alfa wave from a blue spider in Simpsons Cross near Haverfordwest on 12th April. Sorry only saw you in time to put the thumbs up!!

hey was any of you around porthmadog north wales tonight around 7-8pm? saw a few alfa's around,

Gave the Alfa hello to the driver of a black 159 and his wife who pulled up next to me as I was cleaning crap out of my brakes in a pub (didn't catch its name) car park near slough

Had my first Alfa wave today, and as waves go, it was a corker! Middle of York, driving over Lendal Bridge in slow traffic, got a big wave from a guy driving his extremely lovely Alfa SZ in the other direction. Obviously I waved back!

I got a wave from a chap driving a Nice blue 166 (i Think) on london road in apsley, yesterday afternoon. Hello!

I saw a lovely dark Blue one... K666HOW 2ltr TS. I was in Ashton... near the sunlight laundry...

I waved but as it was parked and empty i got no response..

Got a wave from a silver Brera which was heading south down West Hill (A3) at about 16:25 pm on saturday afternoon - cheers! Anyone here?

No-one is waving back to me... should have gone to the Alfa Spring Day so that I could have been sure of a return wave. It seems like most people either ignore me or give me that "are you crazy?" or "what's wrong with my car?" look... though I think it's cos I'm only seeing modern Alfas in my day to day driving and most are not as aware... (note I said most... as I'm a GT driver and can count as the minority).

Black 156 on the A456 near Stourbridge, got a nod from the passenger. Also got a wave from ................... a Saab 9000!!!!

i'm starting to get fed up waving at Alfa's now , i am probably getting a reputation as a bit of fruitcake round my area. I waved at a guy in blue brera today, he looked at me as though i had got 4 heads. My missus thinks i am mad now too.

followed a face lift 166 the other day from bedford to Milton keynes, he was in the left lane i was in the middle lane, as i rolled past, he looked over, smiled and gave a knowing nod! the gesture was returned, and i drove off slightly happier for some reason.

used to have this happen all the time in American cars, pleased to see it happens with Alfas' too.

Saw a lovely blue Brera in Croydon tonight. I went to pull alongside to give a cheeky wave, but just as my nose was coming inline with his back he cut me up, just pulled into my lane without indicating. Hmmm. So, if you were in a blue 07 Brera, plate ending in UML then tut tut.
