Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
On the daily commute into Reading from N Hampshire I often wave (sometimes to the same cars) but no response. Too many reps probably  |

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Gave a thumbs-up salute out of my open window to a grey 147 GTA driving through Hedsor yesterday. Nothing back. Mind you, I was about two miles from a dealership at the time, so it could have been a techie out on a roadtest. Still, wave at me you miserable bastard!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Burger king carpark in Altrincham yesterday a dark Haired young lady parked next to me in a sliver GTV bearing in mind the car park was half empty I took this as a sign gave her a big smile and recieved a horrified look as if I was trying to pick her up.
I'll stick to the wave / eyecontact for on the move.

It could have been worse...she could have been a minger and hoped that you were trying to pick her up  |

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Heading home on the M6 near Preston tonight I was made up to see 'my first Brera' (except in a showroom) bearing down on me as I sped along in the 3rd lane.
Gave him a wink of the indicators and he flashed back - nice one!!!
Cool car by the way.....also saw a GT on the way home, unusual indeed to see such fine sights on my commute.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
I got a wave back from the driver of a red 147 GTA this evening, most likely AO member Jayg0. Strangely I was following a champers 155 SP at the time. Does this constitute a meet? |

I always check out any other Alfas I pass, but no sign of a wave here around Andover.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Was stuck in traffic along Chapelfield in Norwich yesterday when a Black 159 came towards me. I gave a wave and got a comletely blank look for about 3-4 seconds as he tried to work out who I was. Then he twigged and gave a very enthusiastic thumbs-up.
Don't rule out the modern stuff. Would be great if it all caught on again. Happy waving!!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!
Nothing today off two 147s, a 156 Sportwagon, a 145 and a GT.
Yes, I'm counting.
Or, come to think of it, a woman in a 145 yesterday who ignored my flash of the lights.

), I gave the driver my usual Alfa salute. He looked a bit surprised, but responded in like.
