i do like to see Porsches coming the other way, most new ones are just rich old boys, so I dont bother waving. Older Porsches and those a little bit special like GT3's are normally quite sociable.

Tonight coming into Weybridge a bronze colour 997 turbo came the other way with a roofrack ( empty) - he looked a right berk

So did you wave ?

I spent the weekend on the Cat and Fiddle and happy to say the owners of both old and new Porsche's coming in the opposite direction both smiled and waved...

Problem - most people buying Porsches are not enthusiasts...hardly ever got any reciprocal waves in any Porsche (wouldn't have really expecting any from the mum taking the kids to school in a Cayenne mind...). If you want waves buy a TVR (I reckon that was about 75% wave hits in the few I had) or better still a motorbike (I am about 90% wave on the open road).

Gary - I promise to wave at you if you fit my EU approved wave criteria:
32-26-34D

:shock:
 
If you really want people to wave back - buy a motorhome! We have one as a means to an end (dog agility shows) and almost every single motorhome driver AND passengers wave - often accompanied by flashed lights and even a hoot!

Have to admit I rarely wave back - deliberately, because I am NOT a motorhome enthusiast, but it's just the lesser of 3 evils to me (rather than sleeping under thin canvas in a bumpy field, or joining the 'shed-draggers' clogging up the minor roads of Britain!)

Having said all that here's a picture (thus making me look like an enthusiast after all... :lol:

Looks quick... :wink:
 
Well I had thought of taking it to Le Mans, but didn't want to embarass all the GT3 boys on the way... :lol:

Well at least I'd win the payload race, and it wouldn't look as daft as a SY GT3 with a roof rack full of camping gear :roll:
