IDH Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Is it the done thing to flash a fellow z owner? As a biker, we nod as we pass. Many years ago my Dad owned a Jag and they flashed each other. I have flashed a few Z owners with no response. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Forum member - yes Non forum, non enthusiast misso - no I smiled at some one as we overtook them the other day.......you'd literally have thought I'd just help up a sign saying "pull over here so I can rape you and simultaneously club a baby seal to death" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Always flash and/or wave. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Always flash and/or wave. Always. But then the Zed owners you flash at wonder why the hell a Porsche is flashing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Usually flash on the very rare occasions that I see one, with mixed responses ranging from blank expressions to knowing grins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Always flash and/or wave. Always. But then the Zed owners you flash at wonder why the hell a Porsche is flashing them! No difference to a Merc owner flashing Zed owners.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Always flash and/or wave. Always. But then the Zed owners you flash at wonder why the hell a Porsche is flashing them! I still wave to Zed, Lotus and TVR owners, but only Porkers get a flash and a wave. I get more returned waves from Porsche owners than I ever got from the Zed community, sadly.

andlid Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I freak out since they're so uncommon over here! (and then throw skittles on their windscreen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Usually wave but only get a response from about 1 in 10 I must add flashing to my repertoire to see if I get a better response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Always give a flash and a wave if I can, even now I am Zed less. So if someone see's a little white polo flashing then, its probably me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Can’t believe there hasn’t been an “indecent exposure†gag yet Always flash at other Zed owners.... Rarely get a response from the blokes.

rabbitstew Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I flash when i see another zed, but having only seen a hand full in the last 12 months that isnt very often. In general I think ive only had 1 zed owner flash me back and wave. The others just looked really confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Friendly lot around here then, my success rate must be around 80% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've only seen one other since I've owned mine (Just under 5 weeks). I waved and got WTF expressions from both driver and passenger... Needless to say, I didn't post in the Spotted / Flyered forum. It won't put me off waving or flashing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 i've only had the zed a short while, but im 100% so far (1 from 1) that was subtle wave, rather than a flash, and certainly not a toot - too forceful in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyCee Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 flash the 350z and 370z on my way to work and home each day. Have had responses most of the time. Good bunch to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I remember flashing a zed going the other way on the goon. I was leading so gave a flash and a wave, got a perplexed look back. By the last car (i think nearly 20) they were excitedly flashing and waving! I'm sure it's happened on a Wales run I was on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I wave and I've got a 2 in 3 response wave. I was quite impressed when the 370Z driver waved back considering I was on foot and half a mile away from my own Zed at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey, flash or acknowledge every time is that not normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I flash and toot everytime I drive past Shelbourne Nissan, not once have I got a response On a more serious note, I've only seen one Zed whilst being in mine since I got it. He was behind me so couldn't flash, but I did wave and flash hazards to no response... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Definitely acknowledge other drivers, then eventually they'll wonder why it keeps happening, and will maybe log on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
