Maths

so what your saying is a fortwo who hasnt waved at you for 5 years is 'easier' to convert over a forfour which hasnt waved. or is it a case of there have been more versions of the fortwo than the forfour or roadster?

i dont understand your answer madam poo and you havent really answered my question in a way i or anyone else would understand.

I get waves and flashes from Roadsters when I am in my Roadster and from nobody when I am in my 450.

To be fair, I don't wave to 450/451's when I'm in my Roadster as they always look at me like I'm crazy!

I've had some waves returned from fortwo drivers - they seem either genuinely delighted or oblivious, the oblivous ones being the non wavers.
I have been waved at once ( a woman in a 451 on the A96) and it really is a pleasant thing to behold.
And utterly ignored by every Roadster driver. Clearly a 450 isn't good enough in their eyes. (The Porsche driving hordes (oil rich (in places) Aberdeen) presumably regard Roadster drivers with the same disdain - which is some recompense).
Never had the urge to wave to, or been waved to from, a forfour. There's so few of them anyway - outnumbered by VW Golfs by a factor of about a million or so - all of them in sh!t boring silver.

so please enlighten.

just try with 1 forfour and then go from there. i do hope you successfully converting the MK6 driver, but please try and make the effort to wave at forfour owners and perceiver.

What do you reckon ? About 3 hours drive from Rugby to Leeds ? So if you agree the route, both leave home at about 12, and wave at all smarts in both directions, you'll be home by 6 and should have collected at least 2 waves each .

Peace in the Midlands ...

They'll both blink at the moment of passing and miss each other!

Re: Anybody else get any flashes & waves from fellow smartys

I think Ive only had this happen once in the entire time Ive had the 450, ok so smarts are rarer than snail teeth around these parts, but even in the UK when I was driving it there no one did. I get more waves and flashes in the Mx5.

Most of the Smarts around Tun Wells are driven by people who are not enthusiasts & wonder what the hell you are doing waving at them, so I don't tend to when I see one, which is not too often. Shame, always somewhat heart warming!
