Is it just me or...

[HarpreetSingh]

...Does anyone else get that satisfaction of driving down a motorway or dual carriage way, spot another AMG owner and drive in convoy

This might not be the case around the M25 ring, but two sundays ago (i know this is a late post, ive come out of hospital this week and all over the place) on the M1 i joined convoy with two A45 AMG's in my S55 and felt quite proud to be owning a piece of AMG's fine engineering!

i never got this feeling when i had a porsche and saw another one, just another person who has the same car as me,

 

[HarpreetSingh]

Maybe its just me being a freak then never mind have a nice weekend all!

 

[Rustrust]

the s class you have will be lovely, enjoy it and worry not about convoying with others

My sister had a very rare D reg red Nissan 300zx turbo- amazed we chanced upon another one (Red and D reg ) down a side road.
Dom Joly sold his 911 as he was getting ****** off by oncoming 911 owners giving him the thumbs up.
Yeh i would join a convoy -but only if mine is newest!.

I am glad it is an AMG thing.

If us C180 drivers did that... the convoys would be miles long

Land Rover (defender, S3, S2, S1, Lightweight etc etc) owners wave to each other all the time. It used to be quite nice and only a handful didn't wave in my nine years of ownership.
However, you could always count on Discovery (un-modified) and Range Rover owners not joining in. Over a period of time, I asked a few Disco & RR owners why they didn't even acknowledge each other, never mind us.
They didn't consider themselves 'part of the Land Rover scene'. Made me wonder about people generally at the time.

@ HarpreetSingh: No doubt they will have got a buzz from it too and there will be a similar post on another forum (or pub conversation).

All the other AMG drivers I've come across seem to be miserable gets.

I gave up the similar car thing a long time ago as it seemed to be a waste of time.

Drivers of other performance cars and random stuff like vans seems to appreciate my car more not that I care whether they do or not although it does remind me why I liked the car in the first place and the effort I've put in keeping it in good condition.

This brand queen thing is getting a bit silly now.

 

[John]

It only seems to bother a very very small minority so long may it continue.

Only time I can think of is when I ended up between st13phil and Ginger55k a couple of months ago going from MSL to Jury's Inn Hotel in Brum.

It wasn't the best of convoys really, though we had a couple of amusing moments.

I prefer to be a lone wolf...

This is my preferred travel mode.

All the other AMG drivers I've come across seem to be miserable gets.

Not all of us.

Waving is a nice friendly thing to do, something to be encouraged on our horribly selfish roads. When out in any of my classics I'll always wave at a proper classic (but not to a Morgan owner as I know it ticks them off to be ignored) and to anyone who waves or gives a thumbs-up or broad smile back (Morgan rule still applies). Youngtimers of like age or make as mine, same rules, but modern cars no.

Do you wave at AMG sport versions?

Ouch!

If I see another AMG heading in the same direction, I usually flank them and stay there for a while

 

[Major774]

Had a Mercedes convoy before... Was about 7-8 cars... Random lol.

 

[J LAD]

I have had to stop waving im afraid. Kept getting pulled up by the person in question and asked " How much then? "

 

[tali]

I do wave a lot at other drivers.Esp hot blondes.
