ah! funny one this, i seem to always get a wave from classic drivers and bugs and blobs, but oh no! noway! not the newer imprezas, forget it.they dont want to know at all, there way above me and my little 800 bhp impreza...... not really 320, im pleased that classics and some others wave, sometimes they give a wave and u just miss them lol, that feels bad then. keep on waving! makes the girl friend think u got lots of mates to.

Talking of waving, I didn't although I flashed instead - thought it would be more obvious! Was in Hanwell / Ealing in case it was anyone here.

The waving is one of my favourite things about having a Scooby, a strong reason I gave to myself when convincing me to get another one! Can't wait to get back behind the wheel and into the community again.

Waving ain't gay at all, it's fun .

As a new Scooby driver, I love the waves between fellow Scoobs! I've found that the new hatches don't seem to wave as much as the other generations though.

I wave at any Impreza - and as they're quite a rare sight in general most Subarus!

This flashing/waving takes me back to my childhood. My parents always had Citroens & back in the 70's & 80's Citroen drivers always flashed/waived at each other. Back then Citroens weren't as popular, but as they became more popular in the 90's this habit died out.

When I had an X1/9 only one other X1/9 driver waived at me, everyone else ignored me.

Going back to Scoobys, I've had one person waive at me & I've apologise on the thread I started, that I didn't waive back when waived at as they waived at the last minute.

Is it because I have an MY08 RX and not a WRX with a noticable scoop on the front end that I'm ignored

If I'm flashed/waived at, & I have then enough time to recipricate, then I will. And likewise if spotted first I will flash/waive know I know it's done thing.
