I've flashed at a few fellow RRE owners on the road but found it hard keeping control of the car

My list of previous cars and gestures in order
Moggie - Gentlemanly wave, doff of cap...if they had the energy
Singer Vogue - Never passed another on the road...ever...but would be too busy trying to stay in a straight line to bother.
GT6 Convertible - Would stand on seat waving (if hood was off), pomp horn etc
MR2 Mk1 - Nod/Wave
Elise S1 - Wave/Grin
SMax - Not even made the effort.
Was wondering if the waving would start again when I get an Evoque!

I have so far waved at probably a dozen cars... not 1 has waved back.... in fact the last time I did it, my wife just said "don't do that". LOL

I give a steering wheel wave from the 12 o'clock position, and usually get one back. We look different from other cars, and i feel their's a sort of comradery going on.

Almost all of the drivers I see around here are female drivers and I don’t think it’s a very female thing to do.
However .. the only person who has waved WAS female, a Dynamic white with black roof along the A57 in the Newark direction.
I was so pleased I nearly ran off the road trying to make a reciprocal gesture.
The most daunting people who I definitely wouldn’t wave to are Black Dynamic Coupes, privacy glass with full headlights on in daylight and
king size Raybans ... too chic to wave to.
I think often people might wave but you can’t see, reflection in glass etc, better to flash ?

Yes, once, it was a female and she just looked at me as though I was a perv.

Tried it, wore the t-shirt and now using it as rag...
I wrote this thread some time back..... And now I have just given up waving, thumbs up or flashing.... Lasted 2 months only:

A nod of acknowledgement with a wry grin of understanding tends to get responded to!

I encountered an identical Orkney Grey Dynamic coming towards me in Northampton, we exchanged a headlight flash and big grins. My wife cringed!
I'd never dream of flashing a Fuji White or a Red...strictly other Orkneys only!
lol

I see 2 Fujis everyday.... Will be running out of bulb life if I keep on flashing...
