    Hardly ever anymore, sadly. I've had one wave since I got my R56 MINI six weeks ago.

    Things were better in 2001/2002.

    We always give a wee flash or wave, more often a wave as a flash can be misinterpreted by other drivers. Sadly, few are reciprocated. We wave to the classics too, the majority of whom give us a glare 'cos we bought a BMW MINI!

    Well...I won't be alone here when I say I'm tired of waving and not getting a wave back. I thought last week of getting a sign made up for the sun visor "WAVE YOU SNOB" ...or worse

    I wave now and usually don't look for a wave back...

    Where is the central Belt? I thought Edinburgh was in the Central Belt - nobody seems intersted on waving (apart from one incident0 over here.

    Thats why I usually give wee wave, rather than a flash.
