Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Passed a lovely red shiny 156 in Durham yesterday. Driver tried all he could to not look at me in a very concentrated way. Still waved ! He couldnt ignore my 11 year old smiling and waving from the back window,

He smile and waved !!!!!!! Result.

Now if the next passing alfa driver waves at him we will have a convert and a happier driver.

'brave the wave'

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Had a series of wave backs recently (no waves initiated by other drivers).

2 GTVs and a 145 driver who was just getting into his car as I drove past and waved... he looked slighty disconcerted but still waved back.. Good work that man

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Got a wave back and a genuine look of joy from a fella in a red 147 (I think it was a 147 anyhow, only saw the car at the last minute) on the dyke road in hove last night. The smile/look was one of a serial waver who so rarely gets a wave back... He seemed really pleased to get a wave! As was I to have the wave returned in kind! At least thats my take on it, could be wrong ofcourse... Anyway, enough rambling on... good on ya fella! Anyone on the forum?

I'll be up that way later - any waving mad man in a Silver GT you see could be me

Apologies to Red 159 who gave me a wave near bearwood golf course the other day - not enough tea at that time of the morning and I was too slow (waved back, but unless you have super-powers you would not have seen it! - too slow on my part!).

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Guy in a 159 sitting at lights this evening gave my GT the once over as I drove past, but his only reaction to my enthusiastic thumbs-up was a perplexed double take.

TallPaul, watch out for me. I live about 5 miles from the Bearwood golf course just outside Wokingham. I'm driving a Rosso Miro 156 GTA. I've been waving to every Alfa in the Wokingham area and not a damn thing. Mind you I heven't been waving to anyone over the last couple of weeks as my bella is currently mnisfiring on one cylinder and so has been sat quietly in my garage but she goes to be fixed tomorrow so I should be back out in style soon.....

Cheers,

Nigel

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I always wave at other Alfa's. It's as if it's a sign of respect.
