Default We wave

Both myself and the wife wave when we see a 75 or Zt, more strange looks than waves.
Bev (wife) has been told what a great car these are from another driver at the traffic lights, and drives his at weekends. Do not know who? Maybe a member.

I'm a dedicated waver and flasher,( headlights that is !!), when another 75 or ZT passes. The best response was on the A17 from the other driver, headlights AND a wave out of his open window.

Hey Andy, that's because us TF drivers all have a 75/ZT at home, I know quite a few TF owners who own ZT's.

Plus it's easier to wave from a TF with the roof down.

Could be correct there Wes!

Thumbs up Fully on board

Fully agree with Dallas here. No harm in a good wave and often get one back - especially if in the TF. Good people.

If I'm out in my P5B Coupe, other classic owners/drivers wave all the time (as do I).
I also get a wave in my MGF from some.

Not so much in any of my R75's or ZT's although last week I was out in my Trophy Blue ZT-T & a Trophy Blue ZR coming the other way waved out! Took me completely by surprise but I managed to wave back before we passed each other.

I had my first proper wave the other day driving back from Wales, a guy in a zt in front wound done his window and put his hand out as I drove past, I waved back. Most of the time other zt or 75 drivers look at you but thats about it.
