Re: Re: MX6 owners and secret handshakes
The weird thing (at least with MGs) is that it's almost universally the 2-finger salute you watch for (and no, I don't mean @- either). Generally using the right hand, you lift the first and second finger off the steering wheel (like "peace" but with the fingers together).
- I'm in if I'm free (and if I haven't trashed my car *touch wood*).
I work at AAMI Stadium here in SA sometimes, and I've been known to take the MG there without the roof. For some reason, not having a roof on the car makes people talk at you more. They yell out things at you as if it's some kind of novelty being able to communicate to someone in the next car. Noone's thrown anything as of yet.. although I'm sure they've thought about it.
The last time I took the MG to the ground, these four footy bogans were sitting around, beers in hand, at 3rd quarter time as I left the Stadium. One of them, I think he must have been the thinker of the group, yells out, "Hey! You forgot your roof! Hurr Hurr Hurr" The nice thing is that because I didn't have the roof on, he also got to hear me reply.
Oh yes.. and I never expected to find it!
Well, I'm going to do it - like tripharn said, it might catch on and it gives you the warm fuzzies to connect with other people (mind you, I have a stock exhaust - maybe I need one of these).there's no real requirement for handflapping in traffic, but if you feel the need then feel free! May even recruit some new members

My other half used to ride a bike, and he reckons they do it too!
Sounds like fun
