I always put my hand up if I spot one, the problem is I'm normally in a different car and I get a definite 'weirdo/who's that?' look from the Coupe driver. I mentioned at work the other day at work and one guy thought it was really strange that I put my hand up to other Coupe drivers. Mark

I've done it a few times, usually get a response. Although occasionally there's the risk of the 'weirdo' look as you put it

I always used to, and of course always do to another Caterham driver now. In fact, the first few days I had the Cat I stared at a passing Coupe driver, and it turned out it was Mark0904 who pmd me . I gave up waving in the MX5, Clio and Celica as you'd only get about one returned wave in ten. The success rate in the Caterham is 150% , as I often get waves and nods from other cars, bikers and pedestrians. The success rate in the Coupe would be about 70% from other Coupe drivers.
Corvette C6 (manual of course)

I always do with mine. It is great fun. It was not the same with my Omega. The Coupe is quite rare, and when you pass another, that is a moment to cherish. Hence the Coupe spotting part of this Forum.

always do and, almost without exception, get acknowledged in return. i think it's because driving the coop makes you feel a bit exclusive and it's always nice to recognise someone else in the same situation...

It's the opposite here Vickster, I only ever tend to see Tartan, Mattb, Matty, Kevcrab or Fran, and I wouldn't wave to them!

Last thing I'd want is you flashing me. I'm the same as most here, I'll always flash/wave when I see one (if I get time) and get a response most times. Apart from the miserable git in Darlo with the 'S' reg Scots Green n/a who has pretty much had to drive around me whilst I was getting into my identical car and still blanked me. He was probably thinking "I'm not being your friend just because we drive the same car saddo". See them quite often in my oil burner but don't see the point in flashing from that as it would just look weird unless it's someone I know from here.

Always wave and flash manically - perhaps that's the reason I don't get many back. I probably scare them!
