Do you wave/acknowledge other Rocs ?

Drewcam · Post by **Drewcam** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:15 pm

Simple question really...

Do you wave at other Sciroccos when they pass you ?

The reason I ask is because when I was out yesterday a Roc driver waved at me when he passed in the opposite direction. Me and the wife have only had the car less then a month and this is the first time it happened.

So what's your take on this one.....do you wave or have you been waved at by other Roc owners ?

I always wave or flash my lights at other sciroccos but sometimes get some strange looks back. Lol

Only just taken delivery but waved/flash to all I meet & it's been 60/40 responders just winning so far (6 encounters).

I have seen quite a few roccos on the road but most if not all of them up to yet have completely ignored me, so i dont even attempt to wave.

I always wave/flash but get about a 30/70% response, nice when they do wave back though.

Having had Alfa's for the last 7 years its a habit to acknowledge other Alfas with an 80-90% response received, Scirocco on the other hand is pretty poor i've had probably 20-30% reaction with some looking positively surprised !!! I guess its an attitude/interest thing.

Used to when i had the Elise, but the Roc is driven by such a diverse bunch of folks I doubt i'll bother!

Oi, mines a company car and i'd wave if someone waved at me.... but they're driven by a lot of folks as you say, not just us company car drivers!!

Mmmmm....interesting.

I'v been on hoons and tours before with a few different makes of cars and have seen Lotus owners wave at each other before. I was actually suprised when another Roc waved at me, didn't expect it at all.

May start waving first to see what kind of reaction I start getting. Probably just get back the same as what I did when I got a wave....absolutly nothing

i live in cannock, close to the chase forest. i think ( i am not an original native of cannock) if you flash your lights around here, it is associated with asking someone if they are interested in 'walking the dog together'

....

in general i don;t because there are too many Rocs about.

I wave occasionally but I don't think I've ever got anything back.

I also feel a bit of a divvy doing it

I believe that is mainly in the area around the 'Chase' and usually after dark....

At least that's what i've heard.

I get some very funny looks when I flash Roccos. While flashing I'm also muttering ''lucky b******s'' under my breath. Think the funny looks come from the fact that I'm still driving my Volvo.

When I had a Ford Cougar several other Cougars flashed and were acknowledged.

Where's my Roc.

That's my experience as well.
Did seem to get a better response back a year or so ago - when the few that were on the road were mostly driven by Roc fanatics. But now they are quite common and I guess many owners just regard it as another car.

If it's modified, i'll give a thumbs up or whatever, if it isn't, I don't bother.

I do the same for most modded VWs if they don't look like chav machines.
