Miserable Frontera Owners by locospit on Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:41 pm
Is it me or have you noticed that every Fronty you see coming the other way wont acknowledge that you are there.?

As an ex Smart driver I got used to other Smart owners flashing, waving and tooting to say hello when the cars passed each other.

Beetle and Kamper owners do it, even classic Ford owners do too, so come on Say hello to your fellow Frontera owners.

If I flash you, show your support and flash back, dont look at me like I am an idiot............ remember you drive the same car as me.
Mine is a 1998 S 3.2 Limited & My Good lady has a 1998 T 2.2 Sport RS

Same colour, same spec, twins separated at birth ?

Re: Miserable Frontera Owners by MrTom on Sun Oct 16, 2011 9:26 am
I flash my nipples at them which kinda forces a response. :wink:
As a biker I nod to every biker but you're right most people in frontys round by me are either to miserable or too old and have the reactions of drift.
They probably do flash back but not til they're a mile on down the road or on their driveway.

Not quite sure on the thinking behind waving at others just because they have the same car, not run of the mill ones anyway :?
