Why doesn't anyone wave anymore? Being a new MG owner I'm quite suprised that people don't seem to wave anymore! In the 12 months of owning an MG I have on numerous occassions made a bit of an arse of myself happily waving to people who then look at me like I have 2 heads! From now on I'm going to make it my personal mission to wave to as many MG owners as possible - so if a girlie in a Yellow Trophy waves at you - please wave back ;D Kate x

Been waving for years Mostly older MGs and Fs and TFs that return the compliment. Get most reurns in the F, hardly any in the ZT Still, I dont care, I'll keep on waving.

My wife and I both wave, her in a TF me a ZR and both in our Midget! We don't get many returned either.
Think a lot of it is down to the fact that not all MG drivers are MG enthusiasts, more fool them.

That's why we did a bi circular road run at MGFest !!! To reinstate the lost art of waving

I still wave. The return rate is better on some days than others, but I have no intent of giving up the habit.

Waving does not seem to occur much in the midlands We could not arrange a bi circular run for the Heart of England run but keep your eyes peeled for a few extra MG's on the roads to may be wave at on the day. The midgets are out on their run too. Not F/TF's but still MG's. Not sure where their run is going between their start and finish, but route must goes approx in the opposite direction to us so it could be cool if our paths cross.

I have to say there's a little man in a maroon MGF who regularly passes me on the A6 and he waves all the time so that redeems my faith on the occassions I see him! But only for it to be shattered again by the bunch of miserable bloody women I pass who can't even manage a smile never mind a wave!
