Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I got a nod from a guy in a Maserati the other morning :-)

I waved at loads on my way to Alfaholics @ Castle Combe last week but got nothing back.

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I always wave, even though i drive a 156, you would have to be in cape town though. GOt a wave from a GTV the other day.
I must agree most 156 drivers are plonkers.

156 GTA

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Waved at and got a wave back from a 147 today, also saw a 147 GTA going on to the Isle of Sheppey and was dissapointed that he didn't even acknowledge I was there after I flashed my indicators at him

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Don't give up on the 147 owners just yet! I will always with out fail wave back or even initiate the waving process if I see another Alfa owner looking at my car!

I think generally 147's are used by 'day-to-day' drivers but there are some enthusiast owners too!!

ME!!!!

Thumbs Up Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Recieved a v.nice return wave from a Bella rosso GT, this morning about 7.45, on the M4 west.

They were cruising in the centre lane, while I was making the most of my Fourthless gearbox on the way to Swindon for the big swop over.....

Still the new skool wave to each other..........

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

The wave is compulsory, just like the biker nod. I guess it’s an acknowledgment of a secret sect of a type of insanity.

Went out in the Spider last night, top down, to make the most of the bella weather and passed a grey Spider with red leather on the Denby Dale road, near the Yorkshire Sculpture park, W.Yorks. Got and gave "the" wave....

Anyone here???

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I got my first Alfa wave last week (having been driving Alfas for 5 years). It was accompanied by double light flashes and a thumbs up from the guy who was in a battered 145!!

Gave me a lovely warm feeling inside......

Was it anyone from here?
What colour was the 164? If it was a red cloverleaf it was probably Moynesey he lives local to Barehurst and would probably wave if he saw a 164!!!

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

Hehe didn't know there was smth like an Alfa wave, but since I drive an AR (about a month now) I got a few nods and waves (and waved/nodded back offcourse, friendly as I am). Got a few looks too from other alfa owners, and then I nod/wave too, but from now on I'll wave to every alfa

Yesterday was really cool - got waves and even an entire horn concert when I returned the wave from 2 brand new Brera's (a black-one and a shiny blue-metalic one), a red GTV, a silver GT and 2 black 159's driving together (was passing them on the highway and slowed down a bit to enjoy the sight ) No-one from here? (was on the E17 highway between Ghent & Antwerp - direction Ghent)

-- sleep is a poor substitute for coffee --

Re: i got the Alfa wave!!

I must admit I haven't waved cos I don't see the other alfa in time, or they don't look the sort to respond... until last night I instigated a wave at a silver spider in Yarm and got a response
I must try it more often.
