Johnny, I'm with you on this.

I've waved / flashed lights / tooted my (very weak) horn and some people are great and respond in a cheery manner, but others look at me like I've come from another planet

I know that on an earlier thread, people were talking about a 'sign' between members and I think that the last suggestion was a 360 degree spin!

Not a bad idea.

Unfortunately there must be a few owners now who don't really appreciate what a technological marvel they drive.
In a month of ownership I have actually only come across one other S2000 driver while I've been in the car - she smiled and waved enthusiastically in the microsecond that we passed.

Yeah - the 360 degree donut was a favourite, along with a cunning indicator-flashing sequence !

I know what the secret sign could be.............. A massive headlamp squirt!


BTW, pulled into my dealer a couple of weeks ago on an errand for Tifosi Red. An office emplyee was hanging about outside the workshop entrance smoking a fag. Top-down, I stopped next to her and, as I leaned across the console, I soaked her (and me) with those frickin' washers

She jumped a mile and said she thought I was trying to make some unsubtle no-smoker protest by extinguishing her ciggy!

I learnt about those headlamp jets on a test drive.

Picture it - sitting in the centre lane of a three laned junction in Southampton, people all around, and crossing in front of me, and I wonder.....what does this button do..........
............ made me and the other half look very silly !

A the joys of an import.......no button...no free shower !

Johnny, I agree but probably the most practical solution is a 2 sec headlamp blast.

When riding motorbikes in Dublin (some moons ago), membership of the (RD350LC) club was confirmed by an impromptu 'Tank Slapper' and a wierd roly poly thing with your arms !!...the things we did eh ??
