How insecure are these people?

Don't get me wrong, when I used to blat about in my old TR4 I'd throw a wave at any other TR driver I happened across (a fairly uncommon event) but if the wave wasn't acknowledged I wouldn't write an essay on it for my local specialist rag.

Fiona Russell seems not to realise that the VW drivers wave can be dated back to the Hitler salute. And that is me being serious for once.

Believe it or not I occasionally get a wave from other Ford Fusion drivers, doubtless astonished that someone under the age of 92 is driving one.

I've said it before, and it bears repeating, try driving a Land Rover (and I mean a Land Rover, not one of those 'Me Too' status symbols driven by wanabee pro footballers and crap artists) and it soon becomes tedious engaging the hard stony glare and belittling look of disapproval every time you encounter the waving enthusiast goon madly flashing headlights and gesticulating their glee at meeting a fellow Land Rover driver!!!!

I was on holiday in Cornwall at the start of the month and found the VW van infestation to be a blight on the otherwise lovely county. Honestly, you couldn't get into visitor car parks or supermarkets due to them being rammed with the commercial sized vans squeezed into the car sized parking spaces, thereby preventing anyone that is unfortunate enough to park next to one of them from getting out of the doors on that side. If you were unfortunate enough to have to park in the very last space and it was between two of them then your choices were limited to climbing out of the sunroof or sacrificing yourself to stay in the car all day while letting the family out first then sitting in the parked car while they enjoyed themselves at the beach.

I think sheep is the word I am looking for...….

When I had Land Rovers I'd often wave at other Land Rover drivers while I waited for the AA.

Apparently they're legendary . Guy at work had an old monster of a Toyota Landcruiser I think and now he's got a Toyota HiLux Invincible. He said he can't wait to get a new sticker that reads along the lines of...'The car behind me is a Landrover....im towing it'

"Official Land Rover recovery vehicle" is quite a popular sticker for Land Cruiser and Shoggy owners. LR owners take the pith, but in fairness they're competitive off road, don't leak, don't break every Wednesday, and don't rust when a sparrow farts. In fact, one of the worst part of LR ownership was the smug prats who reckoned their rusty old oilers were the best fourbies in the World, yet when it snowed the Foresters showed them a clean pair of heels and off road the humble Jimmy could easi,y match them. The smug plonkers chewing their beards in the Army surplus pullovers were more annoying than the rust.

The owners of NSU rotary engined cars used to hold up one, two, three or more fingers on meeting. This was to indicate the number of replacement engines they'd had under warranty.

S’funny thing.... on one motorhome forum somebody said that everybody wants to wave but nobody wants to talk on site....

Or how many litres of oil they used in the last 100 miles

I wave at people in Skodas. Don't know why, I've done it since I was a kid.
