zxrob Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Being a new Z owner, is it customary to flash other Zed's, like noddin at other motorbikes Dont wanna be seen as a naughty non flasher Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yup, I prefer to wave though as it's less distracting for other road users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyCee Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 i flash other 350Z, 370Z and GTR drivers. Gives a sense of family. Always nice to get a return flash as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I tend to look at the car and make a call on whether there will be any flash or not. Normally if there is any sort of modifications I would flash if not I would have a look and see if there is any notice my way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp606 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thumbs up usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Iv given a few flash's/waves but nothing in return yet. In the scoob I always got something back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Never flash 350 owners. All set of dbags. I used to flash any 172/182 owners they ALWAYS used to wave or flash etc even the girls. The 350 drivers just ignore you or look like your mental. I actually spoke to a guy who owns one. He wasn't busy or anything and he was just rude. Never had that from any other drivers even porsche drivers!

wmr1980 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Bugger, forgot all about the spotted thread, I waved at one as I passed it on my way back from the Zed Shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollowPoint Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Always a flash or a wave from me if I'm in one of the Zs and neither is a 350 or a 370. 90% of the time I get a flash back too, which is great. Z cars didn't start with the 350 and it's nice when you see 350 owners who know that. I've had 350 owners come up to me in car parks and talk to me too, it's how I met Ken for the first time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I always flash or wave... But had couple if times when I was day dreaming and didn't flash/wave till last moment, which might of been a bit late for other driver to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrob Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, I had my first Z flash yesteray At first I thought, what's that ***** flashing at then realised it was a z, put my hand up just in time Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb55 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When I used to own a proper car (Citroen 2CV6) All 2CV owners would wave and flash, much to the delight of my 2 young daughters at that time. I find it a bit hit n miss with a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWill Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Still haven't seen another Z but had the car less than a week. I will be flashing if I see one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 7 Boss Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Seen a few zeds on the road and always Flash. Never hads response though. Gave someone a thumbs up in a GT3 recently, I still remember the look of horror/disgust as he drove past.

JordanHill Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) The second i got my zed and joined the motorway a black zed drove past, slowed down and put his thumb up. I then returned and he shot off. What a legend!! Edited October 24, 2013 by JordanHill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I try to flash, but by the time I get my kecks off......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsh07 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I normally wave at other 350 drivers but only if I catch their attention (being bright yellow helps ). Some people seem to get a bit freaked out by it like the bloke in Harpenden the other day. Both of us sat in traffic going opposite ways, When we got pretty much level I looked over to give a wave but he straight up blanked me. You know that look when they know you are looking at them, but they pretend you are not there. Never mind. Of the handful of times I've seen other 350's probably 80% have waved/flashed back. When I had my MR2 though, pretty much any other MR2 owner would flash or wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
