Do You Acknowledge other RS Clio's on the road?



  BMW F21 125d
As above really, if you see another RS 1*2 or 197 do you acknowledge them with a nod/lights flash or a wave? I seem to, some are friendly and return the nod, but some look at me like i have gone out! :S.

I do with any other RS I see around, which is hardly ever in my area....

They usually ignore me :(
 
i do but get looked at like ive pi$$ed on their xmas pressies.

once hazarded at a LY R27 on the M56 and we convoyed, was so romantic

Erm, no. Maybe if i did then they would come round to my house. I could cook them dinner, then they could nail my missus and leave me with the washing up? Sounds fun :)

I probably would give a small wave to another R27 if I saw one on the road. Which I haven't since I had mine. And I certainly would've done to another Vee when I had mine. I would always return a wave/flash as well from another RS driver :)

I look over...or if one passes me, i'll give a flash...

Every time i see this boy in a blue vee we both smile and wave! hugely ghey but its an awesome reaction!

Don't usually as they look at you stupid. Usually look at the driver and they sometimes look back. If going the same way and we have a play then will obv aknowlege when one turns off. Someone in a 197 waved at me yesterday but I wasn't paying attention till it was too late.
 
A few local dudes with 197's nod & flash etc, I do the same:)
Folk with 172/182's can't look away quick enough:S They look over then turn their head away in neck snapping fashion, plonkers !

Yea I used to get that ALL the time. It's as if they don't want you to know they're looking at the Vee - they don't want you know they're drooling with jealousy I guess...

i always look whatever clio it is, but i think i may join in! my bro used to do it with fellow land rover 90 owners and u feel special.. yeh i know thats nothin like a 182 but hey hoe :)

If you see someone in a Fiesta looking a bit simple, counting on his fingers and not particularly focusing on the road, 1. keep well to your side of the road and 2. it'll be me drooling with envy and trying to work out if I've got enough saved up for one yet, the answers always the same. :)

i do but usually its some blonde b**ch or some old person. does my head in sometimes, put effort in catching up to them, pull along side them and they don't even acknowledge me!
 
No.

Why would I? Just cos they bought a similar car?

If you drove an Astra, would you wave at all Astra drivers?

No.

Yea but its not like there are nearly as many RS as astras!! Used to do it all the time in my old mini! always put a smile on my face...not any more in mine now just yearn whenever i see a RS!

I did yesterday to a fellow 197 owner. he looked at me as if to say WTF???:S

I felt :eek:
 
  LY V6 with Recaros
I would if I saw another vee. I usually look over at other RS drivers and if they look over and acknowledge me then I might. I'll always return a flash or wave though.
 
  182 Clio
I once flashed at a 1*2, but then realised that I should really be in my car!!

Only joking, try to wave at all RS owners, but usually get a blank look

whenever im out in our everyday car (a golf plus dune diesel) i see loads of clios. whenever im in the clio....i see ferkin nobody!!

Cant really see the fascination with waving/flashing a random person in a similar car tbh

Thats it, not everyone has ClioSport stickers, I know i dont! I'll always return a flash/wave/nod and will often instigate it, but often weigh it up 1st to see if its a good idea or to guage what the reaction will be!
