Do you guys wave at other scoobys?

I guess its a good idea but I would probably feel like a numpty if the other driver didn't wave back.


I am tired I think its time for bed.

Keep it a secret but I think it's SAD!
Why wave at a stranger? Would you go up to someone in Tescos and say hello just cos they were buying the same brand washing powder as you?
Let the crazy English have their silly habits but I'll wave if I know you!

Nah. Scooby drivers don't wave here.
MG Midget drivers wave though. It used to bug the s*#t out of me - so I flicked the bird @ a few. That sorted that.

Thats what I though, it would feel weird waving at a complete stranger.

I always wave and flash the lights at other owners. Might be sad but they nearly always wave back.

Some dicks came the other way towards me today, in a black VR4 with blue lights flashing, half in my lane... They didnt wave, but I certainly gave them a wave, using only one finger of course.

BTW, has anyone heard a rumour that they are offering to race people on Sunday at/after the show on the road towards harland and wolfe beside the odyssey, in the VR4 ???

Time to smoke some bacon I think....

That black VR4 is feckin sneaky! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I'm glad I saw it when in my van otherwise I'd have been tempted to have a little play and then the blue lights would have come as a shock.

There are a few Galants, in various colours, although not all are VR-4's, some are non-turbo models. The f**kers are driving everything these days.

I see there is now a permanent speed camera on the dual carriageway at Banbridge.

I dont live near banbridge, but if one pops up near me, i dont think it will be active for too long.
Is it in a justifiable position on the road? ie dangerous?? What direction is it facing?

Mark_TM

Its at the bottom of a hill on the Newry bound side. It's just before what looks to be a dangerous junction. Its the first permanent speed camera I have seen.

Andy W

As far as I undertsand the PSNI have signed up for the system where they get to keep a portion of the proceeds from the speeding fines, part of this package is that cameras must be in accident black spots, must be painted in a highly visable colour, must be within a specific distance of the speed camera waring signs.
I do not remember the time frame for their compliance with this but it should be reasonably soon.
