MGEV community Secret Handshake?

Reliant Robins used to flash each other.



I have a problem recognising other Mgs. The ZS cos all SUVs look the same to me and the 5 looks like a Passat.

Wave your 10mm Spanner as you pass

I flashed a black MG 5, as I passed I realised it was a hearse, easy mistake to make.

The fool proof way of identifying a ZS EV is the radar on the front bumper.
And obviously any in Pimlico Blue (I see mainly Pimlico and Dynamic Red)

Well spotted, lovely colour

Love it but would the roof bars be up to the drag loading LOL.

I often wonder if we need some sort of KERS warning too "If you can read this you are too close. No brake lights with KERS braking! Or a more punchy/funny option.

This could be a really funny thread if we get creative....what else do other road users need to know about we MGEV drivers LOL We all need a laugh.

How about "This car is fitted with icebreaKERS"

Classic cars are an entirely different matter as are almost 100% enthusiast only owned. My '55 Beetle gets 100% wave return from any aircooled VW car or bus waved at

My parents used to have a Multipla (before they face lifted it) and almost every other owner would wave at us

Question is.....should an MG5 driver acknowledge a ZS driver and vice versa?

 

[Adee]

How about "This car is fitted with icebreaKERS"

Witty idea.
Problem with any message is the driver behind will be trying to get as close as possible to read it putting them in greater danger of ploughing in the back of "the car whose brake light don't work".

Just wondering if we should maybe have another signal to give to those who've forgotten to close their flaps...

Good idea. I sometimes think we are missing a lot of possible tricks like this because there is no standardised system. How often do you see a car with a headlight missing? If you had a switch which temporarily winked your headlights (not just a flash as this can means lots of things but actually stop one headlight for, say, half a second?) you could let another car user know that his headlight was broken. That kind of thing.
