gen7nnb Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I try to wave at every one I see but most 7 and some 6 owners just see it as another car. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan23 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Problem I find is like about alot of people who drive them don't know one about the history of the celica, they just assume that the celica they have is the only one of its kind, and I'm sorry to say that's mostly the gen 7 owners and two don't know about this wonderful club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen7nnb Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sadly Dan, I think you're right. I do get the odd 7 wave back but it's rare. Most just seem a little bewildered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joecard71 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I've noticed I seem to get more attention from Subaru owners giving me the nod and having a buzz around me to check out the car. Gen 7s here seem to be in a world of their own, the few 6s I have seen sort of acknowledge with a little prompting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilmofart Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I waved to an oncoming fellow gen 7 waiting to turn into a road once and I got a wave back. Apart from that, all the other celicas I've seen I do make an effort to wave but don't really get a response lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor4460 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wave all the time... And most times I get the "he must be an idiot" look back, Now on my motorbike I nearly always get a nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy newton Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 When i owned a MGC GT in the 60s/70s it was almost compulsory for fellow MG owners what ever model they had, to either wave or flash their lights, the comaraderie was something to behold, different world back then.

Dan23 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 have seen sort of acknowledge with a little prompting Getting out your car and threatening them with a wave or else is a little more than a little prompting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
