Traveled up from Bucks up to Shrewsbury via M40/M42/M6/M54
saw P1, silver wagon classic,red wagon classic.Around 10.30 to 12.30 today (sunday)
Then back down same route to junction 6 to Henley.
Spotted 2 WRX DBM classic, one of them was a guy pulling a trailer.
Waved to all of them and did i get anything back? Did I buggery !!!
About six hours of driving, 300 odd miles and nothing.
Sod the lot of ye.
Next time i wont bother.
Rant over...

 

I always wave

 

Er, Shrewsbury ? that's not up t'North lad. That's nearly Wales and no one goes there.

 

hey !!!

we always wave in north wales , and shrewsbury isn't up north.

 

Shrewsbury? Oop North? Pah!

It's all those southerners when you get past Bolton that don't wave!

 

Thought you were having a dig at me personally when I saw the topic title!!!!

I wave!!!

Really get pi$$ed off that no one ever spots me in "Was it You"!!! I'm in the Southport area weekdays - Teesside weekends. Silver WRX MY03 with PPP and 18" PFF7's.

Right I will clarify.
Up north is for any journey past the watford gap!!Since all sotherners think that is where the north starts and the south finishes.(since im Northern born but live in the south i can demark areas how i bloody like LOL)
the title would have been too long if i wrote it as up the m40 , heading for north wales, but stopped short off and hung around the shropshire area......
Im sure all those who replied are wavers, maybe its just my luck that everyone i spotted was a miserable git.

 

And "Down South" is anywhere South of Thirsk, not that a lot of you will know where Thirsk is, and let's keep it that way! The North for Northerners!

 

We wave, but we know why no one goes to Wales. The Feds there are a bit too keen. We got stopped because our number plate had been 'tweaked'. The Fed concerned followed us all the way round Newtown and then did the blue light bit. Got off with a warning after a bit of chatting-up and he said he did like the STI 8 tho. While we where having our "chat" 4 old ladies got mugged, 2 crack-heads OD'd and 4 sheep got shagged. That's the last time I go to Wales.

 

I'm up north quite a bit and out of about 10 Impreza drivers I've only managed to get a wave out of one and he was in a dark blue classic.

Owners don't always know about the wave. I blame the dealers. Dealers (perhaps particularly up north?) should be educated to let buyers know their obligations.

BTW I know where Thirsk is.

 

I used to wave when I first bought an Impreza Turbo, back in April of '94. After 5 cars and almost 200,000 miles, I can't be bothered now and concentrate on driving. Why's it such a big deal?

 

" I know where Thirsk is"

Glad to read that. Passport at the ready next time you reach the "border"...

Cheers!
