i agree
kombi owners hav never waved to me, i dont bother anymore with them,
but most type 3s hav waved back.
then again, u wave to some bug owners and they look at u like
"wat the f*** do we hav in common? why r u waving?"

Hi PPL
I spose mostely it comes down to whether or not the person driving the car/Kombi is a VW person, I had a Beetle and a kombi at the same time for ten years, I always wave to another VW whatever the model. There is a lot of PPL driving VW's that wave to no one, I have waved to other Kombi's and been totaly ignored or had looks of "Who the hell are you" thrown at me.
If you are a real VW person, that loves VW's you would wave to the driver of any VW. so lets all make an effort to have unity in the VW FAMILY...🙂

Try driving a country buggy.......the entire world seems to stop and stare in disbelief when you cruise past with the windscreen folded down. Any body would think it was a UFO....lol. Oh yeah try finding a country buggy model anywhere.
But i wave at most volkswagens some wave back some look at you wondering if your staking them...........well maybe if they were driving a splitie...........but i must admit water cooled dub owners in general just don't get the sub culture we all enjoy. Keep on dubb'n
I have alwways wondered what the term lmao means , I can,t work it out can someone please inlighten me :alien

L M A O = laugh my A$$ off
it all takes time, the one I couldn't understand from a US VW die cast model forum was RAOK I thought WTF!!!!!
it means random act of kindness
Ohh if you don't know what WTF means I'll leave that to some one else :P
Rob.
Most kombi drivers I see don't wave at me either.... I've given up mostly.

and i still wave back "i do get funny looks though"
i love all the volkswagen family and miss driving them
i thought this site didnt have enough beetles i was amazed with the kombie following ,and everyone wants to swap a beetle for a splitty in here P.S a bongo van from memory was a mazda van 1000cc 60 something
show us your gates
i guess it depends on what suits the individual as to whether they have a beetle or a kombi. i have never really thought of owning a kombi but still appreciate the effort some put into their drives. After seeing some Kombis up close recently i can see what the attraction to them is. As for the wave debate.... i guess if you keep waving at people all the time and don't quit then eventually it should catch on to all VW drivers.

hey oasis. youve been beaten to the punch on hte conversion...
and it is funny explaining a type3. people see i have a thing for vws. i tell them yeah i have a 62 kombi, a 64 twincab, a shortwheel base beach buggy.... yeah the fibreglass thing, and a typ3 notch! then the conversation goes astray as i try to explain what that last thing is. ' ah yeah its a two door sedan that ahm. yeha it came as a wagon and a hatch... oh youve never seen one. you say your 60 and nope never in your life... huhh! 😀

...I own an Oval and TWO Kombis.!
Of course Kombis are better.!
I wave to all TYPES... (but apologies to the Type 3 that waved to me last wed - I was on way to drags and well full Tilt on a corner changing gears - thats why I missed returning the wave ).

i have a split personality (get it ha ha🙁) i couldnt really care less what VW i drive or wave at and whether they wave back or not cause today was my first day to drive a kombi and boy is it a new world up there compared to that of a type 3 or type 4!!!!!
cheers
rhys
it aint just cool its aircool'd
I would have to agree wiTh that. I love driving my kombi.

I would wave to you all but due to technical difficulties in fourth, and navigational responsibilities, I find myself unable to participate in friendly exchanges as I don't have a third hand 😉
.....beetles are easier to park?.........
I find it interesting that some of the Kombi drivers find that they are " left out " of the Volkswagen world. How do you think that I feel ? I am the owner of a new beetle, owners of the original beetle think that I am a stuck up yuppie !!!!!! (which I am SO not !) I wave to all VW's sometimes my waves are under the dashboard so that people don't think that I am a total loser ! Maybe we should put stickers on our cars which say " we are wavers " so that other VW drivers know that we are VW nuts and will wave ????
I like the " we are wavers" sticker idea lol
Ive been a kombi owner for 6 years and I thought I was one eyed kombi, they were the best .....then 6 months ago I needed to get a small economical run about car to put the kombi into restoration..of course i had to stick with the same family so I bought a 67 beetle, its fab, runs on a smelly rag and flyies.....I never thought Id say it but I love it just as much as the kombi now. .......Recently my son was purchasing a car and had the choice of a kombi, bug or fasty, he chose the fasty, Ive driven that a few times and bugger me dead if I dont love that just as much as my kombi and beetle now....
So Ive come to the conclusion after tasting all these volkswagons I love em all, Im totaly in love with all volkswagons !

I think If you just keep waving at any type of VW you spot around your local area they will eventually get it and wave back. And I agree all vw's are cool

but what is the comparison in the number of cars produced between each model??? i think that is where your answer is.

I like the sticker idea too. Also - I also drive a nissan x-trail for work - and when I see other VW's I want to wave! But they would all wonder why an X-Trail is waving to them!!!!
Maybe we should have stickers to put on our non vw cars so people know where our hearts lie?
thats funny surfkombi. as i ride bikes and drive vw's. on bikes we all nod at each other as we pass. and in vw's we wave. so many occasions, i have been in the vw and nodded at a biker. they turn with a strrange look. or ive been in a neither of the above vehicle and have waved and nodded respectively. its become like instinctual habit. the woman jsut laughs as sometimes i dont even realise that i have just nodded.

PS When is a movie studio going to make 'Herby the Love Bus'??
I think someone did... but it certainly wasn't Disney!
(think dark curtains and Paris Hiltonesque camera work)
We went the easy way out and have a kombi and a beetle too. 😀
This is for all the VW owners out there
