A little wave makes you feel good.

A cutting motion across the throat I find works ..!!

I just assumed it would be the open fist thumb to tips of 4 fingers back and forth for about 6 inches, with both hands if available..!

 

[Scruffy]

I’d be very surprised if there are any private owners of the Transit/Transporter. Maybe just a nod of sympathy and acknowledgment that their boss has stuck them in a lemon.

Like this maybe…

 

[JumpShip]

Maybe shake your head at them as if to say " sorry ,but you're not one of us"

I’ve done my first real journey yesterday and today - yesterday I was too tense and terrified to take both my hands off the wheel (not used to driving a van)… today much more relaxed on my drive down to Brean / Burnham and Sea so had my eye out but didn’t spot any T6s… saw a lovely T4 but was behind so no waving

 

[R_macus]

Can’t be arsed with it.

We were in Burnham yesterday....I didn't see you Brazencheek

I just burst out in unexpected laughter, it tends to wipe the grin off their face..

 

[Sasquatch]

I am a swamper owner and I pretty much always wave with a cheeky grin anyway I often do the 'shakka' wave as well. The dog doesn't wave :-\

I've noticed that without exception us Swamper owners all resemble Desperste Dan but with George Clooney's face.

 

[Fintious maximus]

I get quite a few waves when out and about
- normally instigated by me. I think it’s cos I’m used to the MX5 wave when out in the old fella - though there are increasingly fewer mk1 and mk2 5’s buzzing about now. Can’t beat a friendly acknowledgement

 

[JumpShip]

Should have gone to spec savers

You forgot "and Ron Pearlman's chin"

Its like looking in a mirror!

 

[Macp]

Not had one yet, is that because mine is currently a panel van, all be it lowered with bright shiny sportlines. Maybe I need to hang a surfboard out the back to qualify for a wave.

I guess that trades people with panel vans that use them day in day out have got fed up with waving (if they even did in the first place) Hence the leisure driver of Transporters now finds them unreseptive to waves and dont bother any longer. I must admit I no longer have the same enthusiasm for waving as when I had my first van, of course when I see another bay leaf green van I wave furiously like I am drowning.

Just hang a little gaily coloured garland from your rearview mirror and you will increase your incoming wave count. Or put an inflatable pink flamingo on your dash for a more interesting response..

 

[Jimer]

Maybe some T6 forum mirror hanging merchandise is required.

Just arrived in Oban for a whistle-stop tour of Scotland's west coast (on me tod, as missus has buggered off to Belfast for a girly weekend).

So far the wave stats stand at:

Waves initiated by others: 1 (I missed it, dammit - couldn’t respond quick enough and only managed a head nod, as if on a motorbike )

Waves initiated by me: 6
Waves received in response: 4

 

[TeeCeeJay]

Just clocked up the 200th wave of the year.
