I thought I'd make this thread because this happens to me all the time and I'm wondering if I'm the only one.

When I see another Ford (Fiesta especially) I always think, 'looks cool but not as cool as mine', even if there exactly the same! And of course followed by evil looks between drivers lol Kinda like girls on a night out judging each other. But when I ask for advice everyone is so happy to help! I wish I could recognise everyone on the roads and I'd give a thumbs up in stead of a stare lol is this just me??

    I've tried with the thumbs up before with other fiestas! :P some folk will do it back others like to use the middle finger even though the thumb means awesome car man :)

    I wish too that I knew the other drivers too but there are very few from my area on here!

    And yeah it's good to think our cars are better than there's cause that's the same thing they're thinking :)

    Whenever I see a nice Focus ST/RS I feel like giving a thumbs up for having a better car than me,

    I've got 'the poor mans ST' a Zetec S lol, I would love that extra power, but I'm sure I'd just drive like a c*ck.

    I saw an RS500 coming out of Halifax recently when I was driving works van,

    really wanted to give him a thumbs up but he was going in same direction in front of me.

    It's all about Huddersfield! Not there as much any more because I'm living in Manchester now!

    I always tend to have a look in when I see another zetec s/ st owner, I feel like sticking thumbs up but I don't think I'd get a similar gesture in return!!
