Hello.

When I had my Corrado there seemed to be an unwritted rule that you would aknowledge other Corrado/Scirroco drivers by waving or flashing your lights.

With my IS200 I have tried this but with little response.

Do any of you Aknowledge other Lexus drivers?

Having a yes/no vote would be handy but don't know how to do one.

Aaron

I must admit I passed a bloke in a platinum ice IS who waved at me the other day and i'm afraid I ignored him,

I think it's maybe only people who are in LOC would consider?

my car came to a stop today on the A50 which was quite scary,anyway as it ground other motorists could see that the car was in distress+hazards and an rx300 had pulled up withinin seconds behind me to make sure that i had a phone and to see if everything was ok.very nice chap.hes had his for 6 weeks and it scared him to see a Lex in distress.

only if they've got mods on. (only seen 1 )
but round where I live Peter would be the only member of the owners club I could wave to

A friend at works got a land rover 90, and suffers from chronic landy hand.
He always waves back at people he doesn't know. It really pi$$e$ him off when he does it

If only a few more people like that were around


What was the problem?

a lexus broken down !!

hope you took some pics or no one will believe you

aknowledgment of other lexus is a special look
no great arm waving
no secret leg scratching
its just a look
cant explain it, you either know youve been aknowledged or you drive a toyota

very silly really.My fuel gauge is broken.The car would start only just ,id apply a bit of throttle and it would cough and stop. As soon as he put the £10 can he had of fuel in, it started perfectly first attempt.i dont know if this has anything to do with the fact that my car is half done as i had to take it from tdi sooner than they would have liked so the mapping is well out.
The fuel is too rich according to the RAC man and he said it was to do with all my mods not being completed.He knew what the camcon and fcon were and explained that without the mapping being done and the fuel mixture being so out that the car is confused with the fueling aspect.he gave me the fault codes

If I'm behind another Lex, I always give them a special sign by driving really close to their bumper, whilst flashing my lights and honking my horn. They usually realise another Lex is saying hello!

If I see another Lex from the front, then I will usually try and clip his wing mirror with my mirror, as if our mirrors are shaking hands!

Works every time!

You drive a BMW to then?

I lt other Lexus drivers out in traffic and that sort of stuff, but as far as flashing goes, I don't want people to think im mad!

I used to wave but everyone ignored me so I don't usually bother now.

Nah... i don't do it either as i feel silly when you get a weird look from the other person....

Corrado dare i say it was a more exclusive club which means you wouldn't see them as often.....

I do notice that "boy racers" are always letting me out into traffic since i got the 'Tezza....

Must admit, my liking for the car has sometimes made me think about waving, but I've never done it. Doesn't seem appropriate somehow, and no-one has done it to me.

Hate to say it in this enthusiastic company, but the IS is just another mass produced, Japanese car. LOC posters may have an affection for it, but to most owners they are simply nice cars.

Motorcyclists have always waved to each other, but I've found only 1 common car has really got the waving going. That's the old Beetle.

Ooooh, not a good thing to say out loud round here matey!!!!

Probably true though

However the new IS owners may behave differently?
Or owners of any new model for that matter.

I know that when the Yaris T-Sport was first out, my mate used to always "wave/flash/honk" and get waved/flashed/honked back... as it were... (headlights for those who have dirty minds )

Same with the Civic Type-R.



D.

if i see another gs300 i wave, despite getting a mixture of responces, either wave back or the V's
used to flash the lights in the supra, but by the time the lights had popped up , they were long gone
Steve

I used to wave, but nobody did back, so stopped.

Even got ignored by an LOC member who had the sticker in the back.


(Presume I can still post on here - I still own an SE grill )
I do not wave to other BMW owners - theres freeking millions of em

im the same, i tried waving and got nothing apart from confoosed looks so i no longer bother...

your better off leaving the waving to Beetle owners.

Im with Baza on this, when ever i see a lexus.....i just and they do the same back...........

when i see ones that are modded i flash and wave have had some waves back but not many

I don't wave, but if in traffic and they're wanting to pull out in front of me, I make plenty of space for them and I get a wave to say thanks.

yeh i give the look

my friend has the new Golf Gti and they all seem to wave and flash each other, only the Gti owners though

na i dont wave or flash at other lex drivers,. only cos i dont see any gs300's round these parts
used to flash my lights when i had the mk3 supra as they were rare aswell, but by the time the lights had "popped up" the moment had gone , so dont bother now

No I can't over here in France Lexus are rare here especially my model
People just look at it and have no idea what it is
Lexus only came into France in late 2001 but the frogs prefer to but the French crap
Toyota is catching on here the last year and a half, lots of Rav 4 here now

afraid not ....

too many lexii (and IS200/300/Altezza) around!! if I had to wave and acknowledge to everyone, i wouldnt have time to drive. I see like 20 on my way to work everyday.......

actually... thinkin about it ..... there are like 10 lexii in my parking lot at my home!

i always let other lexus drivers out, and give a little nod, some times get one back.
will keep trying!

No.

I have better thing to do in my life than to look out for other road users that drive the same car as me.

no

The only acknowledgement I get is from the driver of a nice audi that lives down the road. He's obviously a car nut too. Other lexus drivers just ignore me.

Only LS400 drivers, but they think I'm nuts because I'm usually in a Volkswagen.

....only LS400/430s. And only 2 have ever flashed back. May grow to 3 locally now Barney has one.....

I ackowledge BMW 3 series drivers but I don't think it is for daytime veiwing on this site

I thought Golf gti (and TDi) owners had it inbuilt to wave and flash at everything that was in front of them whether they are driving at a sedate 60 or a hurried 120

I tend to hide in my car cos it is usually filthy

LMAO

Lovin this topic funilly enough i dont own a lexus(yet) but i have the greatest respect to lexus drivers(or lexusman as i refer to them) i always let them out and fight other drivers off to protect them from anybody who dare cut in front of them etc but the best thing is i dont wave...i salute them! as if they were my superior lol..and yes i am weird

Dave
Enthusiastic lexus soon 2 be man(currently 206 GTI man)

Hi,

I did Aknowledge other Lexus drives when i first got a Lexus,but its like waving to a brick wall.There blind or have there heads up there asses

I agree all the lex drivers round where i live dont even notice you if you pull out in front of them and start flashing and beeping like mad

I'm still waiting for the day that i see another LOC member on the road .... where are you all

I do generally but don't always get a response. If I saw a Lex in distress I'd help without hesitation. A bit of carmaraderie never goes amiss.

i do wave at a few round by me as most of them are women and they always put there hands up and even had a chat to a few in the past even though i must admit 1 of them is my mum...

i find most other gs owners just look ,i think they are just amazed to see another one .the mk1 is becoming a rare beast especialy in sport version .cant remember the last time i see one and have only remember seeing one in the same colour as mine in the last six years and must admit i did wave and the other driver waved back ..

only if theyre blonde!

or they wanna race

Is that a pic of your car Wozza ???? or have you stolen to from somewhere

yeah its his mate, he's got IS250 alloys

Stav

Yes as i said, he stolen them from another member

Ahhh ok

Stav

I think Lexii are too common for all that waving and stuff. That said I hardly see any in Berlin, none like mine at all. So I would wave here if I saw one.

When I'm in my Supra I wave and always get a wave back

tryd this but no one waved back
use to do this with the Impreza and 90% of people would wave bk

I would but guna look dumb if u dont wave or flash back

I dont mean the peeps on here but does this mean Lexus drivers r up themselves or 2 good 2 wave or flash back saw loads yesterday but they was all parked up crimbo shopping & most i c round my way r old biddies

You do end up looking like a bit of a spanner if you wave and someone doesn't wave back. They look at you as if you're stark raving bonkers.
