Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Got a wave on M54 near to Shrewsbury.......anyone here from that area? The wave came from the driver of a red 147........looked to have been loved to death!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Wow! This thread goes on and on. Being new to the Alfa Family, all this waving takes me back to my Cooper S days when all mini drivers would wave and toot. It was always a lot of fun. Must keep my eyes peeled when I'm out in the red beauty and start a wave amongst the aussie alfisti.(even 147 owners!!)

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

4 months driving the Alfa and not one wave yet OK so there aren't that many Alfa drivers around Edinburgh but have seen a fair few who either ignore the wave or look bewildered by it... I aint that scary to look at honest! If I went around doing this I would understand.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Hardly ever see another Alfa round my neck of the woods but this morning saw a grey 156 SW in Tenterden, gave the driver a hopeful wave and got a big wave back! Had a big grin for the rest of my trip!

Was it someone on here?

Sorry I missed you too, I was on the M54 last Friday but didn't see another Alfa. I did happen to pass a gorgeous red Brera on the M6 Toll though.

Been round Edinburgh and the area for the last few days and haven't seen you yet (did see a red 156 i think? couldn't really tell for all the plastic crap stuck on to it!) but its somehow nice being the only alfa driving down the street! Did see a gorgeous black Alfasud down at Kippford seafront Thurs/Fri just gone (if the owner wants to sell it let me know?)

It's not just grey, it's Stromboli Grey.... that was me, yes I saw you, cheers m8. got no amount of stick though from the two 16 year old girls in the back who now think I'm Captain Saddo.

You a local of Derby then and have you seen the baby blue 156 knocking around with the carry handle on the back, gave him a wave and got a wave back but not sure if it was to say ta or not.

anyway respect to you for the wave m8

Typical. What a time to choose to come into my territory. When I'm down south getting no waves at all.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Hey Nomad, I saw you again earlier today (tuesday ~18:50) but only in my side mirror as I looked back, you were just coming off kew bridge going south. Dunno if you waved at me if you saw me too, but if you did I was overtaking a cyclist and was looking other way! (Lots of cyclists/motorcycles in the SW isnt there!)
