Porsche wave

Here's a question...

I've had a few performance cars, and in most drives give a little wave at other owners when they pass on the road (Impreza's do it, RX7's do it, Civic Type-R did, proper Mini's do etc), or are we seen as not 'real' Porsche owners as we don't have new shiny cars that cost as much as a small house!

It would be interesting to know, I'm sure other 924 / 944 / 928 / 968 people will, but do the modern owners?

I don't want to look a *boobie* by waving first time I see one!

I always do !, on the rare times I see a 924 or 944.

yep i always flash and wave

talking of which I followed an B plate 924 n/a home in Burham on sea last night, anyone down here on holiday ?

there,s a few black N/A s around burnam and bridgewater area. i seen 1 outside the railway station in bridgewater its parked there most days

Yes there's another garnet red in Burnham somewhere, same as my garage queen.

Front engined owners are normally more than happy to wave back (well except the 928 owner I saw the other week )

As for the 911/Cockster drivers, I wouldn't bother very little chance of getting a reply

911 drivers only usally wave to there own kind 993 =933,
964= 964 and so on. 996 997 dont bother at all snobs

Truth is most 996 drivers are to embarassed to wave in case they are recognised, and people laugh at them for buy a bloatewd Boxster

have to agree 997 drivers are just snobs

Yep always give a flash and wave when I see any of the front engined cars and usually get a wave back. Couple of guys round here with "proper" 911s and they wave too.

I sometimes wave to snobs but only with one finger ???

Here on Porscheball there are very expensive Beetles, but they are all very friendly and have given me lots of compliments about The Gulf even if it costs less than a brake disk for theirs!

i dont normanly wave but then i dont know what car went past till its gone past

Always wave when see a 44/24, when in mine

Always wave at Z3s too, usually get a wave back, but do get some odd looks when I forget which one I'm driving and wave at the wrong one

Never actually seen a 24/44 whilst out driving in mine but did get a flash and a wave off a 911 (or variant of). I was so taken aback I almost forgot to return the gesture

had a couple of waves from a couple in bristol but dont see it till the last moment so think they got peed off and dont bother now!!

I did wave at a Porsche Gayman driver but he was too busy looking in his man bag for his cologne !!!

Sounds about right

I always wave to 911's as i pass them on the ring!!! So come on now boys we don't need all this mid/rear engine Porsche bashing... At the end of the day we all love one brand!!

Mmm not sure about that........

Nowt wrong with the brand just some of the people that drive them.

the trouble is most of the 911 drivers don't recognise a 924/44/28/68 not because they are ignorant,but because they didn't realise porsche made a front engined car or 2. i use mine daily and i can honestly say the only wave i ever got was from a carrera 2 as he passed me ,hand through the sun roof waving away.
was delighted and surprised.
and it was a uk reg bright red,probably on holiday.
