Wink The Wave ...
Lingo Wave..
Driving back from the lodge today on the A470 Blaenau Ffestiniog> Betws-y-coed mountain road (north wales)  I passed another berlingo, funny thing is that the driver and passenger gave me a massive wave,now I used to have a landi and this waving to one another was common place but what I didn't realise was this greeting is also in the fold of berlingo owners 
Has anyone else experienced this sort of behaviour ? 
Do you wave at others ?

I find it hard not to wave, but this is a throwback from my old VW camper days. Really a Berlingo is just another car & I guess most owners would think it daft to wave. I guess the odd one that does wave, posts on this forum. Icon_biggrin

RE: The Wave ...
Ever since joining this forum i do tend to look at other berlingo/partner vehicles when driving around just to see if they wave or not but no one ever has, maybe i will have to make the move and wave at them first

Strange but since buying one, I seem to see them everywhere, have they suddenly become popular?

I think you get that effect with any car you buy.

I don't bother waving, for all I like the Berlingo, it is just another car (ducks and runs for cover).

I can remember (back in the 60s) my father signalling to other VW beetle drivers. The odd thing though was the signal or wave was a hand raised on top of the steering wheel. I did wonder whether it wasn't a p*** take on the Nazi salute.

I have found myself doing this also,but not until the other day did I actually witness the wave,maybe I'll start waving or shall I just show the finger ?
