hype Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Just wondering, do you 350z drivers acknowledge other 350's on the road? Likewise for 370z drivers? Only had mine for a couple of weeks so far and have covered a few hundred miles. So far spotted a couple of 350's in and around Notts, but not a single 370. Do you generally give a flash and a wave? And if so is it often reciprocated? Previously I was in a Z4 Coupé, generally other Z4 drop-tops wouldn't acknowledge me, but other Coupés were more likely too. Guess it was a rarity thing, there are a hell of lot more convertible Z4s around after all. Now I think I'm right in saying there's even fewer 370's on the road, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for my first spot... Quote
Ekona Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always wave, and sometimes get one back. Not often though, but then it has been four years since I owned a Zed 2 Quote

WhackyWill Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Waving and flashing in London normally starts a fight... 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I wave or flash my lights if appropriate. Keep seeing a sunset Zed close to my home & we often wave at each other. Don't see many Zeds though to be honest. But that's a good thing, ...prefer having a rarer car. 1 Quote
Daveyboy11 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I wave at any Z I see but none have waved back yet I'm deeply hurt haha Quote
Almeida1234 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always want to... But not sure how other owners would react. Quote
tatooandy67 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I've only seen one other zed over my way in 5 months ..... We both slowed down slightly, stuck our thumbs up and smiled possibly surrounding motorists were a little puzzled but I thought mmm nice one Quote
tatooandy67 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I wave at any Z I see but none have waved back yet I'm deeply hurt haha I'll return your wave if I see you.....says the mad waving bloke in the zed 👋 Edited March 19, 2014 by tatooandy67 Quote
Zhorno Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I wave at any Z I see but none have waved back yet I'm deeply hurt haha Same lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Justthejedi Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always wave and give another 350z a headlamp flash, only because they are a rare car on the road and will get rarer. I drive up and down the M1 every day and in the past year I have been behind 1x azure blue coupe but didn't acknowledge me which was disappointing. ( I'm a big kid at heart!). Quote
Floydbax Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I usually give a wave and wash my windscreen in excitement - not had any acknowledgement yet tho 6 Quote

dragon Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Always try to wave or headlight 2 or 3 have come back but a couple of others have given me a blank stare Quote
Will370z Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always wave, may even flash if I'm going topless Quote
hype Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Well that's it, I'm definitely flashing and possibly waving from now on, so watch out. My old Z4 was in Stratus Grey. Being the boring bastard I am I worked out there were probably less than 10 in the same colour left in the uk. And then I saw one coming towards me on an A-road in Norfolk. Flashed AND waved and guess what I got back. A puzzled look. It's going to be different with this zed I'm sure... Quote
Mike_89 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always flash and give a wave, but I don't always get the same back, its generally the modified ones which reciprocate Quote
chirag1988 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I always give a flash and a wave if I've got a chance to. Had a couple of acknowledgments. I do like owning a rare car, just wish other fellow Zeds would feel the same towards our "clique" Quote
wizurd Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Wave and a flash. If I'm feeling extra friendly then "the signal" ala Team America World Police Quote

chirag1988 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Totally agree mate, most people just don't understand why I'm so obsessed with "just a car". Each to their own I guess... 2 Quote
350zedd Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Had my zed 4 months now and never had the opportunity to flash or wave, as I aint ever seen another one on the road. They're as rare as true friendships around these parts Quote

350zedd Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Ahhhhh thanks Graham......errr sorry I mean Gareth! Hey bud I'm not stuck out here all the time.....I do venture out to Carmarthen now and again! 2 Quote
