What do the new MG4 models do for waving etiquette?

[Bam Bam]

I always wave when a fellow MG4 drives past.

Occasionally I get a smile and/or return wave.

It is nice and reminds me of doing that with fellow mini drivers 24 years ago!

But what is the new etiquette going to be with the MG4 and MG4 urban?

Will Urban drivers be included in "MG4 wave club" or will they have their own separate "MG4 Urban wave club"?

If we are waving at different models then should it be widened to an "MG EV wave club"? But some EVs look the same as the petrol versions so that wouldn't work.

Will the Urban mean the end of the MG4 waving system?

I think we need a policy here people!

Probably the original MG4 including the facelift carry on waving. If that's your thing. Although if an Urban waved I'd wave back. Tis nice getting a wave, though.

That makes sense and is the easiest option.

But is it prejudiced against Urban drivers?

I always give other MG4 drivers a wave, well more like just a slightly raised hand as an acknowledgement

Yes but will you do the same for the urban?

I doubt it, to me it's not an MG4, and when I see one I probably won't recognize it anyway, it looks like so many others.

Agree. But if one did happen to wave, I would acknowledge.

Ah the camaraderie of the MG 4 driver united in that undying bond of shared pain of MG UK

Summut like, that.

Of course! Though sometimes it happens fast if they are behind a truck or coming round a corner.

I would worry that I wouldn't recognise an MG4 urban in time but then I haven't seen one in the metal to work out how noticeable they are.

I think I may have mentioned this before, but the most waves I ever had was when I inherited my Grandad's '78 Alfasud in 1985.

Amazing "club" to be in!

We get waves from the other very local MG4 driver (also a Trophy, also red, also 23 plate) and we chatted to another MG4 driver going the other way when we were both stopped in rush hour traffic, but apart from that, I don't think we have had other waves.

As a pedestrian, I stuck my thumb up at a Tango X Power while waiting for a bus and the guy wound his window down, smiled and called "Good, innit?", to which I replied, "Not 'alf, mate!"

Don't MG4 drivers get wrist ache these days ?

Hope you mean, from waving.

I hope that's what she means.

I have absolutely no idea what you two are referring to
