chirag1988 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 On the roundabout which serves South Mimms service stop, M25 and A1. A lovely example of an 07 Azure HR (thought the Azure stopped in 06 and they didn't make it for HR?). Anyway, 2 lads in the zed, I flash them from behind as I approach, come up next to them and give a thumbs up. Guy in passenger seat gives me a "weirdo" look, then as I move into the inside lane, he goes to the outside and the driver just blanks me full stop and take the exit going into the service stop. What is it with these people? Is there really that much of a problem acknowledging a fellow zedder?! Had a better response from a guy in an RS5 while we were stopped at traffic lights earlier in the evening. Few blips of the throttle to show off our exhausts to each other, a friendly thumbs up and off we went our own ways 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I'm sure this is an exception to the rule. Zed owners are normally more friendly than most and I've always got waves back. I suppose you found one of the odd ones out who knows not of zed comradary. Who knows.....there may be a "Nike Air Max" forum with someone posting "I waved and gave a thumbs up to a bloke pointing at his Nikeeees and he gave me a wierd look!" Don't lose faith......keep waving:thumbs: Edited February 8, 2015 by HEADPHONES 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Probably 2 aliens on a recce of the M25.....cloned the zed from stardust but got the wrong colour match. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Maybe they'd just boosted it......although I think I'd still wave 'n smile if it was me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Haha love the responses. But my rant is because this is the third time it's happened to me and I just feel it doesn't hurt to give a friendly wave to a fellow car owner seeing as zeds aren't too common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveallen1999 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 If you gave me a flash and a thumbs up, I would say hello back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Yeah last zed I spotted and flashed was on A45 Orange 350 about 6 months ago I saw him so did a few swift lane changes to catch up, finally got level at a set of traffic lights so I gave my best smile and a friendly thumbs up, dude looked at me like I'd lost it and muttered something to his passenger and glared at me like he wanted a fight at this point the lights changed, I was turning right he went straight on so nothing more to add other than I thought if it's going off I'm going to make sure it's away from my zed only seen one zed since then grey 350 and he ignored me despite my best efforts to attract his attention Edited February 8, 2015 by tatooandy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I put my hand up to a grey 07 350Z coming towards me in slow traffic yesterday in Stoke but he just blanked me. Can't all be friendly I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Well if ever I see any other zeds I will continue to and maybe one day I'll drive by a member from here and will get a friendly gesture in return as we all have good zediquette (etiquette) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 At least you see some zeds to wave to.....they're as rare as hens teeth around these parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Any waving or flashing of headlights inside the M25 normally ends up in a fight..!!!! :scare: Edited February 8, 2015 by WhackyWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne370Z Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Surely everyone who is on here would acknowledge a wave or flash but I wonder what percentage of owners are actually on here ? I would have thought it would be quite high, no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraziekatz1 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 LOL.....Maybe they think they are driving an Audi TT ? (Did I say that out loud?) Or driving asleep..... I always give a thumbs up if I see a fellow zed, same to the Scooby guys & even to another 4007 (they're really rare)......I am usually in the wrong car at the time though. If the truth be told, when all said and done, doesn't matter what car you drive.....some people just aren't bubbly, friendly, thumbs up kind of guys like us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Z Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I have never seen another Z on the roads around Durham the whole time I have owed mine so can't really comment if other owners wave but I do get acknowledged by other performance car drivers regularly, especially big engine stuff like S4's and R32 golfs etc...

Ridz Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 From my experience, if you acknowledge another Zed and they don't respond, it's safe to assume that they are not members of this forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 funny this as in the last 2 weeks ive had a thumbs up from a 350 and had a chat with a 370 nismo at a set of lights and had a play with a dofferent 370 nismo on the 406 got a thumbs up from him too!!

Ebized Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Er, you sure that it was a HR as they were not produced in Azure? Lots of DE engined ZEDs masquarding as HR's, even one of our very own moderators in his Azure who I'll leave others to name and shame Mind you a 'lad' he isn't. (if not as old as some on here.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
