I did see another Silver GT Friday though going up through Arborfield Friday evening though and got a wave back

Oh good, I'm glad it wasn't you! Remember I said earlier in this thread I'd seen another silver GT in the Wokingham area - must've been him. He's obviously not as well mannered as you

A purple 147 flashed me as i went past it today (sunday) in Hanwell, London, I flashed back. Anyone?

Big flash and wave from a silvery 156 on Saturday evening just by Sandal Farm on the Brighouse Denholme road!!

no wave today....

I'm going to try flashing!

A wave from a random Chinese guy in my street. Who I've never met or spoken to before..

Saw 3 147's and a sportswagon. Nothing

I passed soooo many Alfas over the weekend... not one response !!

Was it a lady driver? There is a silver GT with a female driver I see every once in a while, I got a wave once I think she was just not ready to wave rather than rude

There are 4 GT's in Arborfield at least, a black one on 54 plates that turned up the week before mine (exclusivity gone!), a red V6 and another silver one that I have only seen recently on 07 plates, sounded like a V6 when he went past and I was sitting outside the pub the other day...

I kept an eye open when I went out to Lower Early yesturday but no Alfa's to be seen..

No, youngish guy. Well, when I say youngish, anything from mid 20s to 40 ish. When you get to my age (50 this year ) they all look young.....

I chased a red GT around Bracknell a couple of weeks back and I'm guessing it was a 3.2 because it was quick.

I've said I would stop waving because no-one waves back, but I can't help myself. It appears to be involuntary now....

Miles from home in Watlington yesterday (Sunday 20th) in the new Blackline and got a smile and a nod from someone going the other way in a black GT. The few other Alfas we saw ignored us. Either way it's better than being an Audi driver tho

Parked at my local shop,just turned off ignition and a silver 147 parked right infront of me (facing) gave him a smile and nod and he frowned at me?! lol think im gonna give up

Nooooo don't do that dude !!

Wave from a grey 159 Sportwagon driver this afternoon in sunny Cleckheaton.

Got a wave from my Mum the other day but she was in a Rover so that doesn't count.

I was passing a dark blue Brera in Woking the other day, it was only after he was past me that I realised he was sticking his thumb up off the wheel! First one for me since I've owned an Alfa and I failed to respond...gutted.

thanks guys!

it was a little girl, all healthy! and lots of sleepness nights!

Waved and flashed lights at red 146 boxer in Harwich, got a wave back at the last moment, think I supprised him.

I got a wave from a Mini yesturday... while driving the misses Mini so its not just Alfa drivers!

(I had a good reason, the GT had just been washed and polished Sunday and was in the garage waiting a coat of Autoglym extra gloss protection, I had to go out, it was raining... mini was on the drive already... honest guv it was a good reason... )

waved at three in the last couple of days, two facelift SW's and one facelift 156. The two SW's were women drivers, total tunnel vision and no response at all!

I'll keep trying!

If that counts I'm up for hundreds of waves, from all sorts of cars

Having owned a white 155 for 11 years, so many people remember it and flash/wave, I get whiplash at times trying to make out the drivers
(everyone else changes their cars too often!! maybe they should buy something worth keeping )

Waved to a couple in a 147 the other day, where the M42 meets the M40.

The woman in the passenger seat looked round at me as if I was a 3 headed jabberwockey from planet zod !

dark colured 156, possibly black, waved at me south of the kew bridge after the traffic lights. waved back. anyone?
