A little wave makes you feel good.

@Polzeylad @superflyguy Mine is also a Puma 110 XS (2014) - I had always wanted one but could never justify/afford it so it was top of my car shopping list when I took early retirement a couple of years back and handed back my company car. Love it to bits and intention is to keep it long term but only time will tell how practical this is once I start driving my T6 ("Noo the Gnu"!).

In the meantime I'll keep waving at both!!

@Dave Harris I was the same always wanted one, and the right one came up in stornaway grey. I got lots of waves and nice comments, but for me after 2 years of ownership I got rid. It didn't suit me with my sudden increase in commute distance, had the turning circle of the QE2, and started getting bubbling on paintwork, this was only a year old !! also had a 1965 series 2, that's gone too .
 
There's definitely some hostility from the T5 crowd..........I'm not paranoid but I got more waves when I had one. Gotta go......there's a bloke in a trilby, stood under a lamp post outside, with a rolled up copy of Paris Match under his arm.......smoking a Gitane.......I'm sure he's watching me!
 
Had similar experience when I bought a Fiesta (current model) to run around in a few years back, got load of negative comments from owners of the previous model, totally unecessary really, I won't be too upset when the T7 comes out, no doubt it will be better in every way, doesn't mean I won't wave!
 
Id like to propose an upgrade to the standard one hand acknowledgement when passing another T6 that has become the norm and upgrade it to a full blown "oh my god.. I'm so excited to see you" idiot wave that makes other people super envious and keen to own a T6... I considered the old school T1/T2 "no worries" salute but I think it's time we moved forward and brought the next generation to the world... any takers??
 
Has to be better than the heavily modded T5.1 "dammit I'm not the new boy on the block any more" semi snarl...

I did find a lot of other T5.1 Cali owners a bit grumpy TBH.

I'm all for an idiot wave.
 
For added humour you could throw the odd one out at a T5 every now and then....

Will always be the hangloose no worries from me to any other VW that looks friendly. Sorry but it's a tradition that shouldn't be broken but each to their own I guess.
 
Mini (classic) drivers used to live or flash each other as the drove past, the BMW MINI drivers stuck their noses up at us, did not take long before the hate set in

I'm curious........what does that look like? I've just been waving.........what the hell's the matter with me? I need to get with the programme! :)
Joking aside......I'm pretty sure I'm detecting some frostiness.......very sad. On the plus side, I get a cheery wave from a guy in a bright orange T4 panel van.......guess who I'd rather have a beer with?
 
I always associated that with some sort of heavy metal Kerrang type wave :) trying to do that as they shoot past would be like trying to do the 3,2,1 hand thing...

I just stick to the full flat raised hand until I can fully recognise what I'm waving at and convert it to a hair stroke if in error :laugh:

Whilst hearing the passengers shouting "Saddo!"
 
Cheers Walski......I've never seen anyone do that.........that's me sorted! I'll give it a go and see how long it is before I get an up and down "stroking" hand motion in response from the T5 mafia! ;)

Laughing at that one.............because that's me too!!!!!!!! :whistle:
 
You lot have got me laughing now.........I've been thinking about this! If I wave and get nothing in return, my first reaction is to feel like a bit of a tube...........followed rapidly by saying out aloud "d*ck head"........and sometimes worse! Even the lovely mrs mopardave does it now! :)
