I can just hear those tiny clogs rattling on that hard plastic now.
Only just clocked the clogs!
You’ll hear it to now.
It’s a bit like that Jumaji film when they start hearing drums!
Only worse
So, the following day (Saturday) I drove from Oban to Applecross via Glencoe and the waving stats on this leg took a turn for the worse...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
Waves initiated by others: 0
Waves initiated by me: 4
Waves received in response: 0
On the positive side, if you're courteous, observant and patient while traversing Applecross Pass (aka Bealach na Bà), you'll be rewarded.with countless waves... just not necessarily from vdubbers.
,Mind you with the crap weather we had probably no one in a good mood !
.
Here in Oz I’ve noticed that the further west and off the main highways you go the less vehicles (of any type) you see but the more likely you are going to get an acknowledgement from other drivers (who are mainly behind the wheel of white Toyota utes). Not a wave but more of a very subtle lift of one finger off the steering wheel. It’s a kind of acknowledgement that there’s another human out there!
I can understand that.
I love all the gold, gem and opal hunters programs set in Oz.
Some of these places are really remote and I’ve seen them get into some hairy predicaments.
Was also a bit shocked to see the amount of dirty bastards I think you guys call them ferrals robbing everything from gold to excavators if they were left alone even over night.
I enjoyed the episode of opal hunters where big Rod chased and got a hold of one guy robbing tools and opal from his and old Les’s mine.
He came back with his tools and burst knuckles and said he had had words with the boy
I wave and also get unexpected waves that catch me off guard - if I get a wave I give one back - feel bad if I think the other van missed it as I’m too slow.
Don’t give up on the waves - had a few really early morning ones on way to work (on minor residential roads) - really brightens the day and sets me up for work thinking about the next trip.
Bikes are probably easier for waves as you do not have the sun on a windscreen.

I wonder what the protocol is for Transporter to Buzz waving?
Maybe Buzz people don’t want anything to with Transporter people: the dirty old distant relative!
I mention this because I had a 2 tone Buzz coming the opposite way the other day and he just glared at me…I didn’t wave; I was confused

I waved to a very pretty Buzz today, total ignorement! I don't remember a wave back, ever! As you say, we must be considered dirty!I wonder what the protocol is for Transporter to Buzz waving?

Always wave...if there is just a slight hint of not being a work/delivery van I wave good and proper...whether it's a T6x or any any other Tx. It's how we connect!!Driving along the coast road in Southport today, a T2 (possibly Brazilian built) coming the opposite direction flashed its lights and waved extremely enthusiastically. Quite surprised, and flattered tbh.
