Was it you on Cross Oak Road in Berko just before the narrow section on Sunday about 11:30ish ?
I waved at a dark (black or dark grey) hatch but got no response.

Cheers, Ian.

Oops! Sorry, Ian......only just spotted this!


No, it wasn't me.......which is why you didn't get a response. I do work in Berko though.

I'm at the top of Kings Road. Although I did work at Waitrose for a while.

Mine's a black WRX hatch.

No problem, I thought it might not be a fellow Scoobynetter due to the lack of a wave.
The problem with waving and not getting a response is that you feel such a fool.
I can just imagine them sitting there thinking "Whats that idiot waving at me for"

These days I find myself waiting until the last moment to see if the pilot of another scooby waves first.
The general rule seems to be the older the car and the younger the pilot the more likely they are to acknowledge a wave. Except for me of course ;-) - I'm in a stealth 320R and getting on a bit, but I still do it.

If I wave, and they don't wave back, (happens more often now), I sort of pretend I was just flexing my hand! Oh, and I'm cracking on a bit as well.........

You might have seen my old yellow classic around before.......harder to miss than my hatch. What colour is yours? (There's a typical girly question, if EVER there was one!)

Yep, a bloke would have asked what BHP it was. Its black - like I said - stealth (no spoilers, no splitters, no gold wheels, no badges).
I've been driving a scooby of one form or another (I'm on my 7th) around the Hemel area for over 15 years and never been spotted.

I do remember seeing a bright yellow sport around the area once or twice.

Yeah, that was probably me.......yellow Sport Special. Had it for 9 years, and our mate's son has it now (still local). Makes me want to cry every time I see it. Doesn't look after it like I did. I loved that car.


Mine doesn't have any crap on it either. Just black. With nice Pro-drive wheels.

whoop whoop just seen this, most probably was me as I am on that bit of road twice a day :-) I am young and get a fair amount of attention from builders and the like so I assume fairly attractive!

Yay get it sorted! Need the option of actually talking to people who care less when I am whittering on about my car, my best friend tries bless her but I think she is close the bludgeoning me any day now. Although she did tell me that in Polish Impreza means party. So there you go, tedious fact of the day....

Ah, no.........I had it from new and now our mate's son has it (Wigginton). He works in Bovingdon and goes to the 'College' in Kings Langley, so it's still local.
