UNABASHED Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I barely ever see a zed when driving in my own zed and when I do they never wave back. When I am in our Fiesta I seem to see them everwhere! My plan is to start flashing and waving at the zeds when I am in the Fiesta, so far the results have been less that promising. Firstly I just a lot of bewildered looks and then yesterday a guy in a black zed started giving me the finger and shouting at me. I did some sign language explaining the situation and that I have a zed at home but it seemed to make him even more angry and he did some sign language back to me. Hope it's someone on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It was me who gave you the finger, |I hate fiestas Only joking I`m a very polite driver when in the Zed The question now is, who in your area drives a Black zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 When i first got the Z earlier this year, I was driving into bristol and there was a red Z coming the opposite way. I didn't notice it until some lights flashed and the guy started waving. As no one ever waved to me in the golf and i didn't know the geezer i immediately thought there was something wrong with the car and pulled over to have a look When it started happening on a regular basis i realised that we are all supposed to wave to each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I usually just end up panicing and squirting washer fluid everywhere.........I'm not entirely sure that in 'car sign language' terms doing that represents something far less wholesome than 'hello' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Tam recons flashing another Zed (only done it once) is SO cheesey! I kind of agree with her... (But I still do it!) Last Zed I saw, I was in the audi, NEARLY flashed... then thought "DOH! Wrong CAR!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 i followed 3 zeds in a row out of work the other day, im sure they were thinking "what an amzing coincidence 3 zeds!" i was in the pug could have been four i wave rather than flash as flashing can end up with someone pulling out on you or some such.

paulie Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 this is all brilliant. I think its great we all wave and acknowledge each other and yes sometimes it is not appreciated but as I see it, its their loss and they are obviously not part of our lovely forum so to who ever you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My other half also thought I was nuts acknowledging another Zed owner. Now she waves with me! Or aids as shotgun spotter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
