bigmike20vt Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 OK so really sad question (although am sure busa1300 will know where i am coming from as he recently left the coupe fold!) Sunday all being well i say goodbye to my fiat coupe and hello to a Zed. One of the things i really enjoy is keeping half an eye out for other coupe owners and getting / recieving a flash (or an owners club flier under my wiper) However, with only 7500 fiat coupes in UK i believe i guess i see more ferraris knocking about that coupes it seems sometimes. So, is there any 350Z etiquette or will i just look like some sort of ijit if i go round flashing other Zeds? right.... i shall never admit to asking this question ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I always give a flash and a wave, even in the Mondeo which is probably when I get a WTF look back from the other Zed driver!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! i do wonder how many coupe owners will get a random flash of an odd bloke in a 350Z over the next few months. force of habit and all that!.

BladesGrant Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I also end up spraying the wind screen alot by mistake as everything is on the other side to the Mondeo so if anyone sees a crazy man washing his windscreen and wipers going like the clappers that means hello!!!!

martinmac Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I always flash the lights. The saddest thing according to my wife is that I can sometimes put a name to the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 i was driving to a local pub behind my sister and her BF. i flashed an oncoming Zed and got a phone call straight away from her BF telling me i was a saddo for flashing a fellow Zedder.

rich5259 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I flash and wave to other Zeds , but as you say there are more ferraris about When you get home you go to the spotted or flyered section and give details of year, model, colour, location and time. don't post the full reg. no., just enough so the owner will know it was them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry3167 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I always flash lights, and a thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Its usually such a surprise to see another ZED (except at meets) that by the time you get over the initial shock you just hope the flash/wave got seen But I have never been 'spotted' in the 5 years I have been on the forum Edit: except once by local member Cavey - just remembered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbowey Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 i went past a fellow zedder the other week and waved, received a wave back, my mate in was like, "who was that?" "i dunno, just a fellow zed owner" i replied. turned out to be Walbertonio, my first spot from another forum member. gave one guy in a red zed a wave last night and got a nod back, no response on the spotted thread yet though.
