Got the thumbs up and a nod of respect from......
I'll give a nod of respect to any cool car, mainly the old hot hatches, any cool VWs air/water cooled, R5 GTTs, decent looking novas, 205s, mk2s, minis.
I'm car enthusiasts, Mk1s just happen to be my weapon of choice.
Plus my pet hate is anyone with brand blinkers. :roll:

Got the nod from two guys in a vr6 Corrado the other day as I blew passed them.
Don't get too many nods in my neck of the woods as most appear to look down their noses at something that isn't less than 18months old.

Being new to all this, the third time I took Rufus out, a boy racer Astra hooted, which made me nervous and as I got quite a few toots and waves, I eventually stopped the car to see what was stuck under the wheels; but there was nothing. When a chap in a Mk3 Golf shouted "respect to the golf" I realised they were loving my car!!!! It's ace! Even had a wave from a Boxster!

Had a similar one as well… I fit car stereos for some of the local chavs around here (sorry.. ops: keeps the bills paid though!) and was testing one on a sunday many moons ago. this involves playing a track for a about two minutes rather loud to make sure all the levels are right.
Well two coppers came round the corner as the old bat across the road had phoned to complain about the noise (two minutes for christ sake!)
Well they pulled up they said not to worry as they had to follow these things up and I wasn't makoing a nuisance of myself. thought they were just going to drive away but they got out the car to check out my cabbie, one guy said his brother owned a bettle cabrio, the other lad had owned a string of VW's and currently had a mk4 anniversary and even asked if I could wire his amp up for him.
I alway giggle at chavs going on about how they get a rough deal from the police, I've never had a problem. All I ever get is curious questions about the car.
Think "attitude" has more to do with things to be honest! :wink:

I've had a guy wave from a really smart Renault 5 Turbo on the M6 - I've always thought of it as a classic hot hatch, very fast for a 1400 although I think most of them blew up. I think it's possibly a whole 80s thing - another thread here?
Another guy leaned out of the passenger door of an Audi and shouted "sell it me!"
As a come down, I remember coming off the ferry from Spain with the Bentley Club (I was in my Mk2) and they just looked down as if disapproving of every other vehicle, and person, in the world.
