Saw another guy in a tig in Ajax heading to Whitby. He passed through the intersection on Hwy 2 and Salem heading east but I did not notice him until he was already through. In Whitby I passed him in the left turn lane for Cochrane and he was looking at something on the dash or something. I was thinking, I should have honked, but I would have just succeeded in scaring the crap out of him. I had to wait for on coming traffic while he passed me through the intersection. He looked at my car ... not sure if there was a nod there or just checking my 8?!?

gentleman |ˈjentlmən|
noun ( pl. -men)
1 a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man : he behaved like a perfect gentleman.
• a man of good social position, esp. one of wealth and leisure.
• (in the UK) a man of noble birth attached to a royal household.
2 a polite or formal way of referring to a man : opposite her an old gentleman sat reading.
• ( gentlemen) used as a polite form of address to a group of men : “Can I help you, gentlemen?”
• used as a courteous designation for a male fellow member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Ah just another old fart in a 8 and in my neck of the woods. How old is old? He probably has a full dressed newer Harley as well, just does not know what to do with all his money, no mortgage, no kids at home, they'd finished university, you know that typical old white gentleman.
NOT ME! LOL
What colour was the car etc.?

I'm not flaming you just love your choice of words.

Ok ... so I was feeling like a typical non caring 8 driver today. I parked in the lot of the Whitby Walmart (about 1:20pm), got out of my 8 and started walking away having spotted a right hand drive Skyline about 5 rows down from me. So as I walked toward the store, my attention was on this Skyline, then a Corvette three down from it. So as I get a little further I decide to cross the lane and I look back to see another 8 (black) parked up by mine with the owner standing outside of it. It was obvious that he parked there because of me. Should I go back and introduce myself or not. I had to keep going as the wife hurt her back and I needed to get a heating pad for her. I should have gone back as it was a wasted trip because I forgot my wallet. :-P When I came out he was gone.

After getting my wallet I returned and parked in the same area (20 min later). The Skyline was just pulling away. As I was walking to the store I saw a different black 8 driving in front of the store. Dam ... to far to catch attention ... even though I am nowhere near my car now. Hmmm ... not my day!

Now it's around 2:30 and I am on other errands when I am driving through Ajax on Rosland when I spot a white 8 heading east. As we pass through an intersection I waved out my front window and Dude honks as he goes by! Redemption!!! Lol ... finally!!

Now in a subdivision in Pickering to visit with some relatives I see a black 8 that is always parked at a house on the corner of Alanbury Cres and dude was in his garage so I honked as I went by. He looked at me but I have no idea if he knew why I was honking. Probably though I was some punk kid ... lol ... I'm probably older than him!

LoL whenever I saw a much older male I usually use the world "gentleman" as a sign of respect initially.

If I knew him well enough though..probably fart/***/stoner/hippes/ etc... kek

Peace!

Geez Mike. My first thought at looking at your car was... why does he have a stickered up Honda as his sig pic? Then I realized it wasn't. :D

ON TIG - brownish ?

Wow - a lot of Toronto sightings eh ? Here is one from Steeltown (Hamilton)

Saw what I thought was a TIG like mine driving down Quigley road towards Greenhill in east Hamilton on Saturday, July.12th approx 3-4pm but when I caught up to it I noticed a brownish hue to the car. Looked like 3/4's TIG with one part champagne or gold......never knew this color existed.

P.S. the exhaust on this car looked like they've never been cleaned / polished and they almost looked invisible. + the car was a lil' dirty

When I got up beside the guy was smiling a very broad wide grin but I didnt want to yell over my wife so I goosed the throttles to get ahead of the guy just so I could stick my hand through the sunroof to give him what I assume to be the hand signal for rotorheads (sorry dudes I'm new to the club) which is the peace or V (for victory) sign with two fingers. He turned left on Greenhill and I proceeded up the hill to go home.
