Scirocco Central

I wondered if any of you give a nod / wave to other Roc drivers? I was passed by a guy today on the A30 heading back to Cornwall so I thought I'll acknowledge my fellow Roc owner. Nothing, not a flinch. Not even a glance at my shiny new motor. Most disappointed.

I use to. But done it for ages with no response from other roc owners just funny looks. Given up now lol

no i find a bit embarrassing, only ever come across one person from the forum on the road haha

Same here, I used to when the Roc was a much rarer car, but hardly any acknowledgements so I gave up!

nope other rocco owners are ignorant haha

They sure are haha. haven't even got a smile Back. Just miserable funny looks.

Think the only wave I got was when I saw Deagol in St Austell, Cornwall 2012! :-)

When I had my VW Lupo I got many waves from fellow drivers. Not had one since I've had the Roc, definitely will keep trying though..

Same here. I've only had one wave back and that was when I saw BenBAC. Otherwise everyone looks at me like I'm a nutter so I gave up. Every now and then I'll pass someone who's obviously looking and probably would have waved, but it's usually too late by the time I realise and then I feel disappointed I didn't. >_<

You need a classic mini if you want waves back haha

I do to folk with modified ones, even just debadged ones you know that person probably cares more than the norm. Had a 50/50 success rate so far!

I take it back, I had 1 guy who I ended up chatting with at the traffic lights and asked me if there where any forums, and I told him about this one but don't think hes ever joined :/ he was a pleasant chap

when my dad has his subaru every single scooby driver used to wave at each other,
when i see a rocco that is modified i will wave but not to a standard one cause they just ignore you lol

After reading this thread I spent the week waving to Roc drivers. I have only seen 3 and 1 one driver did actually wave back.

Maybe if enough people do this we can change the Roc culture.

Again I've tried , used to have a mini and the other half would always wave at fellow minis , if seen a few nice rocks around but as above you just get the * do you have a problem * look,
Any roccers around peterborough ?

i wave loads and do pretty well! probably 1 in 3 wave or flash back. always puts a smile on the chops. people with grey hair generally don't wave back. or salesmen.

I gave a Roc a light flash yesterday. He braked hard thinking I was telling him Plod were down the road!!

Haha

Live and work in bristol - there are SO MANY rocs here and it's a pointless exercise waving. I do look though, but never even get a glimpse back...

So I resort to smirking at drivers who clearly still have their DRLs stuck in the on position
