I know this sounds really silly but........

[sms1982]

.........don't you think it's really cool like when you see another MR2 (normally mark 2) go past you you like wave or flash your lights at the other car/driver.

It's a kinda mutual respect thing, basically you're saying "nice car, good taste", I think it's really cool, i've never known that from any other car or car make before.

I think it's cos
1: we all know MR2's are the BEST cars on the planet
2: there's alot less around esp compared to your average road car like a Ford Foicus.

Mine's my baby and i've always wanted this car more, even compared to a ferrari. After all a 355 is basically an MR2, just more expensive with a ferrari logo on it.

Do you all agree?? I mean on the subject matter.

Only waves I've ever got were from other mk2's the same colour. Was the same story with the silver Celica (RIP) I used to have. Unless it looks exactly the same I get the "What?" stare

Yeah, mk2's rock I've owned better handling cars, better equipped cars, etc etc, but the mk2 is EASILY my favourite car of the lot

Yes, it does sound really silly

must admit i only ever wave to MK1s.. mainly because i tried waving to other marks but never got a response.

I don't quite think a 355 is a rebadged MR2.

I think MR2s are generally good fun cars, though i've driven much better cars if i'm honest, though the MR2 is a lot of fun and thats where i enjoy it.

Just of of interest, what better cars interms of fun and handling (excluding £30K+ ) cars have you all driven?

For the age of our cars and the technology available at the time the mk1's are still great to drive. I know the mx5 isn't much newer but i'd rather drive a hardtop than a convertible anyday.

I had an MX5 Turbo and it was a lot more fun to drive than my MR2, lot more direct and precise.

I try and wave/ flash lights at any MR2 i see, but most of the time, you just get a blank stare or "what is that burk doing" look, which used to put me off, but then i thought s@d it, keep waving, so i do.

Its great fun i find

As to other cars, A6 and a few Rovers. My tubby is by far the best one ever, and i'm now looking for another one :D

OK so in the 10 year + age group you only really have the MX5... have to say I love the RX8..wankle is the way

I wave at all Mk1 and Mk2...(never bother with Mk3's) ...about 40% i get a wave back.

[JohnnyC]

Never a truer word spoken

[Steve_Rutter]

It would be Wankel too you wankle.

Drive a MINI - then you get proper respect from other MINI drivers.

You wave at all other mini drivers and they always wave back.

I've never known anything like it!

btw - this was my wifes mini which I used for a while...good laugh for small journeys.

Cheers

That sounds a bit too similar the what goes on with (the new) Beetle drivers and their plastic flowers on the dash
