Hi all,

I'm from near Brighton and I've not yet received one 'Scooby wave'.

It appears that those from down south are a big too arrogant for it.

I know it's only a little bit of fun.

But when I went to Basingstoke to see my girlfriends parents, there were loads of Scooby drivers giving me the 'Scooby wave'.

Strange

 

Give em the bird (the middle finger not yer GF) that'll get a reaction!

 

 

I live in B'stoke and we do wave a lot!

 

Same in and around Portsmouth!

I still find it hard to wave at a hatch.. but I am growing as a person

 

i do the wave & get waves but mainly to & from classics. Seen a few newer versions driven by ladies (in forties) & they obviously don't know about the 'wave' & just ignore you or even realise a fellow scoob has just driven past

 

I've seen lots of 40 year old women driving the Hawkeye in Brighton/Worthing.

They were really skanky looking birds which made it even worse.

 

Hey guys,

So true Timmy, i have noticed that aswell, when a lady drives along you put your hand up at them and they dont notice a thing :O how rude lol, like you say they might not know about the "WAVE".

My gf thinks im a right weirdo when i do it she says "your so sad will" I say whatever trevor, she is a complete novice typical girl only would have a car for doing her hair in the mirror sort of thing

 

 

That's a little harsh, mind you whenever I wave at a scoob by the time realise that its a fellow scoob owner waving at them and not a Mazda driver its generally too late!!

 

yeh they might think that Arron it does look like one but why would they put a scoop on a mazda for lol

 

same on the isle of wight. i dont wave until they wave first. lol i had one guy do thumbs up at me once like i was his best buddy. had me in tears

 

My gf thinks im a right weirdo when i do it she says "your so sad will" I say whatever trevor, she is a complete novice typical girl only would have a car for doing her hair in the mirror sort of thing [/QUOTE]

haha thats my missis all over, even when she drives it , she just drives past and ignores the wave

 

I'm from up north and it's the same here these days. Got my first Impreza back in 2002 and always got one back then.

 

PMSL

Thats got me wetting myself just thinking of it, there you are driving along, you see another scooby coming up and stick your hand up and he comes back with KING KONGS FINGER.

Priceless mate

 

lol i might try that

 

I always give scooby drivers a wave. Whoever it is, I used to bottle it at times then at the last minute they would wave me, then id feel crap. So now i wave like a loon to everyone even old dears. I even waved a police scoob and got a result!

When the wife is there though it's a more of a couple fingers off the wheel raise so she wont notice. If she sees me it's "oh you sad man", "is he/she in your special oh look ive no money left after fuel club"

Cant beat the warm feeling of fellow scooby love.

 

spot on. bloody women!

 

 

It appears the Scooby love is dying out on the roads.

Maybe it will come back one day...

 

I really dont understand why some people dont wave at you, unless they dont know what its about then i understand, but even middle aged men dont do it, they must know what its about im sorry

Its been around for years surely

 

hello im new to all this brought my first subaru STI just over a week ago & have had a few waves from other subaru drivers all ready but did'nt now why until i seen this thread,now i understand

 

I think its because of the uniqueness if that is a word of the car.

Its a very different car than normal hence its got a big following and loads of clubs and stuff, bit like VW golfs and stuff like that i know a mate thats got one and he says they do the same thing as us.

 

Im from down south...............



Have you not seen me????

 

You sure they were birds & not ladyboys?you get alot of them round that way.Im near to brighton & agree you dont get that many waves back,i usually say something like f*cking idiot if i dont get a wave back & my missus thinks im sad for being like that.

 

They will never understand, i bet if they were riding horses through the lane they would say hi to the other riders. So whats wrong with us waving other scooby owners

 

haha thats my missis all over, even when she drives it , she just drives past and ignores the wave [/quote]

+1!!!!!!!
mines exactly the same, she loves driving the car and givving it the gun,but forgets our little Code Of Practice of scooby driving!!!drives me mad then when she comes home tellin me some fella in a scoob waved at her and she didnt wave back cos she 'didn't know him'!!i then go nuts throw some stuff about the place,tell her she's not worthy of drivig the car anymore and go off in a huff! the ignorence of these women!
daz86 i know what u mean 2,the thumbs up is amazing,makes you feel warm inside and if your like part of some cult brotherhood with secret handshkes and allsorts!!!long live the thumbs up

i find hatch drivers a bit hit and miss,its as if some think your not worthy cos u got £4k worth of classic and they got 20 odd k's worth, snooty beggaz

 

The reason (IMO) that some scoob drivers dont wave back is the fact they think their car is better or cooler or faster than yours. It's a sad reflection of the number of numpties driving scoobs these days!

I have a WRX wagon with very few external mods (couple of stickers, aftermarket wheels) and it's a bug-eye so immediately anyone in an STI is thinking 'I could take that bucket'. Well at 325bhp I have answers for most folk that take me on!

I wave like a looney too as you do feel a tw@t (if you're a decent sort of person) when you dont manage to wave at someone back.

There are one or two round my way that are going to get a very different sort of hand gesture if they dont wave me back lol!

 

Aargh DP

 

I hate it when they dont but ive been a suspect of not doing it before now but in my defence i was looking at something else then when i turned my head it had gone past so dont know if they waved or done some other gesture at me

It does make me laugh tho when you get the OTT driver that almost crashes because he is too busy waving at you.
