Bit random but

Like the old school vw bug, drivers wave at each other

My friend asked me the other day if coupe drivers do the same?

I'm intrigued to know, as I don't want to start waving at random people in coupes! bye

Yes - you need to start waving....

Then post in the spotted section :-)

Of course not mandatory but we like to run a tight ship ;-)

All well and good waving, but you need to see them on the road to be able to wave.

Although not everyone responds, so don't get disheartened if some ignore you!

Also, it helps if, when waving at a coupe, you're already *in* a coupe... waving from a random mini, mercedes, or renault clio is likely to confuse.

I always wave and/or flash my lights if I see a Coupe.

The last couple of times I've seen a Coupe, it has been local and I've been walking, so haven't waved.

The owner of it spotted me in mine a couple of weeks ago and followed me in to work laugh We had a quick chat and swapped phone numbers.

Lol laugh

We swapped numbers as he's putting his Coupe engine (supposedly 360 bhp) into his Doblo campervan and thought I might need some spares from whatever is left of the rest of the Coupe (Sprint Blue also).

I should have known you lot would look into it more laugh

Well since owning mine, I've seen 3 different coupes in Rugby alone, I didn't think to wave. So hopefully over the weekend il spot one and wave, and il wave until he/she waves back! Regardless of how far or long it takes! laugh

I see so few Coupes these days, that when I do, I normally chase after them and follow them home, before laughing manically and dribbling over their coupe.

That's allowed right?

crazy

I never see anyone I don't already know in a coupe. Usually it's Joe I see. If not him, no one! That is kinda reassuring though. It's good to be unique, sometimes!

I drive a truck for a living and I've not seen a coupe for years. So if a big blue lorry flashes and waves manically, its me smile

I was driving to work today and saw a dark blue W reg in East Grinstead Sussex. Was very tempted to wave then realized I was in my van so thought best not to!

I think those that aren't in their Coupes every day and drive other vehicles, should have big, bright stickers all over their other vehicle stating that their other car is a Fiat Coupe tongue laugh

I'll be keeping the club stickers in my next car laugh

I might get the FCCUK logo on a massive vinyl down the side and front of it too.

Not that I ever see a Coupe to flash frown
