Sheesh, most of that is spot on! The bit at the bottom about Motorhomes Classes is actually how different vehicle are seen in the pecking order (obviously not by me, although mine is in the top class )

The science behind the wave translates well to the Landy wave. My wife isn't going to appreciate this as she was embarrassed at my waving and thought it had passed with my Landy ownership.

Love how most of the comments at the bottom actually don't realise it's a p**stake

I waved to a bloke coming out of a pub carpark in a red T5 on Sunday as I bozzed past, he looked shocked but waved back.
An article written so tongue-in-cheek serious will throw a lot of people. That's why we have the tabloids to dumb down the news!

Hi, I was wondering if there is an equivalent to the ‘biker nod’ when you see another T5/T6.

 

[VanDamMan]

This may help…..

A little wave makes you feel good.

having been in many t4's and t5's (although never owned one) it was always nice to see a little wave when passing another transporter which I was quite liking the idea of joining the VW family when I got my t6, but one I have noticed that it is very hit and miss wether people wave or not. I...

Its more likely to be a V for victory with the left hand. Easier as not needed for throttle.

Apparently there is , on my short journey back (30 miles) from collecting my first and new camper I was enthusiastically waved at by a random woman walking towards me (guessing mistaken identity maybe ) and had little waves from 2 further camper owners along the A road home. Made me smile to be honest

How about that then flick the ring finger up for the W

 

[Teesix]

I raise my forefinger off the steering wheel and if they ignore me, I start tapping it and pretend I'm listening to music!

 

[Sackmycook]

It's a full palm of hand, forward facing.....if its ignored or not seen I pull the visor down to disguise my embarrassment

The VW wave is discussed in another thread. It applies to all VW vans.... except the commercial vans driven by miserable fat blokes with their arse hanging out of dirty jeans.
(That ought to generate a comment or two!)

My van isn’t commercial, but the rest of the description is correct - summed me up accurately!

 

[Grim Reaper]

I just wave at them all, commercial or not, they don't half look confused sometimes..

Yep, that’s me in the Candy White Cali!

So I have been driving around Devon in my T6 waving to all other T4/5/6 drivers and no response.
Today I counted 28 times I waved and in return I got one wave back.

Disappointing return on my energy given.
