Hmmm Didn't anyone see me?????

Been to St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast for the last few days and on my many tours in the Spider I waved at loads of Alfas but not one driver waved back

Tell me one was you and you were just stunned by the beauty of my beautiful car

Funny you should mention that, I quite fancy doing the coast to coast run from St. Bees to Robin Hood's Bay.

Obviously.

An overnight stop in the Hawes area would be cool too.

Re: Didn't anyone see me?????

We get loads of work on the railway near St Bees and Whitehaven area
A very nice part of the country to work, even if it is a few hours journey home

Re: Didn't anyone see me?????

I didn't see you PG. I was in the Lakes on Sunday and waved to two Brera's (even flashed my light at one) and two GT's..........nothing in return.
Each time my little girl was asking who I was waving at, she must think I'm really popular, or not as no-one waved back (she didn't see that though).

Re: Didn't anyone see me?????

I was home by Sunday (that's why you didn't see me )

But you can bet I would have waved back if I'd seen you
