A nod to other Benz owners

[harrye500]

Afternoon all, just driving through Crewe top down and wind through hair (still have some which is good) from a nice canal walk (Malkins Bank near Sandbach) with the dog and other half. Got a flash and a nod off another MB owner going the other way (nice silver SL, Y registered). So hello to you all and you if it was you! Nice to be part of a club and nice to see the old traditions are still very much alive!

It wasn’t me but hello back anyway!

Have nodded and been nodded too, a couple of C207 owners, both White.

I can’t see nodding. Can’t you wave something ?

 

[SmartAmg]

I can’t see nodding.

Should you be driving?

This is good to know... ive driven my SL350 from East Devon up to Tenby for the weekend via the gf in Swansea, but I've not seen a single SL on the road - where is everyone?!.. I will say thought the new A477 from St Clears to Tenby is a brilliant driving road.. particularly going west and it has also fantastic views coming back east aswell if you're in that area.

Thanks for the tip! I try and always keep an eye out for vans and other sus vehicles if I'm 'approaching' speeds they may find 'interesting'

I find most SL drivers usually return the wave, I'm normally on the A49 if going south of Sandbach on my way down to Market Drayton. Roads around Sandbach/Middlewich/Crewe are a nice drive.

In all of the cars I've had in my lifetime, and I have had a couple of interesting ones like Lotus Elan, Sierra Cosworth and so forth, I have never had another driver wave in acknowledgement. One finger maybe

 

[SmartAmg]

One finger maybe

Or Two, seriously though, the most nods/waves/thumbs up I've had, was when I had my Smart fortwo the original mk1 version.

I remember this in the 60's with my VW Beetle.

You get endless waves in an old Defender. Literally every other Defender driver waves at you. I prefer having a passenger so they can wave, otherwise it gets tiring after a while.

My smart is the same, everyone waves.
Smart and Land Rover owners are friendly (and bikers natch…)

I get loads of waves if I'm out in the old classic, even get approached at service station's and carparks, young and old
The Missus isn't too impressed if she with me though, means too much talking.....

 

[davidsl500]

I only get waves if I'm by the sea.....or if @00slk is passing....
