Just passed another Green RS & got waves from both front passengers......I managed a half arsed thumbs up of a reaction then straight away though....why did that just happen. I wouldnt wave to a man in Tesco if I notice weve got the same trousers on so why with cars?

Dont they realise that there pissing me off because I dont want anyone else around here to have the same car as me?? For the love of FUCK, next time there getting shown the bird!!!!

STFU and just roll with it.. Its a rare occurrence of people in the UK actually being slightly friendly.

I get the same with my car

Haha, my dad use to have a old Alfa Romeo and he use to wave at people and they use to wave back, a bit sad in my opinion! lol! It is annoying though, I know what you mean about someone having the same car and colour as you! I am the same!

this happens to me with other integras, but only if its a young person driving it. most of the ones round here are driving by older people and they don't flash or wave

Never happens in the X5, most people that own them are dodgy and want to stay low key anyway

Or middle aged women which are totally clueless to driving and general life for that matter, so wouldnt even notice another one!

Ive had it in the megane before, but i think thats because its a limited edition
