Umm yeah mebbe that's it!

Not sad at all, when i got mine,i drove for about 10mins when a scooby coming the other way waved, then 2mins later another. i smiled all day.(my missus thinks im sad though,or just a big kid)

I used to get return waves all the time a couple of years ago when I had my classic, now I have a blob eye STi and no one waves. I even get shuned looks from other blob drivers.
No fun in the north east. I think they are all boring bast~~ds that or all up there own ars~s.
Maybe its the graphics? Oh well they can:hjtwofing

I'll wave if i see you. (nice looking car)

I always wave and flash but as above the missis thinks i am abit sad but i dont mind :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: keep on flashing and waving i will:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: or and 1 more:thumb:

I know most people will think im sad,but if im driving about and dont see any subaru's to wave to i sulk.(well thats what the missus says)

I flash as, others stopped returning my wave.

They all look for the speed trap instead of flashing back!

In Hull the bug-eyes onwards were often weekday wives cars, so they blank you. D1CCY always waved to me, but I was usually asleep....LOL.

Perhaps my bug-eye is regarded as not "Classic Cool", or brand spanking new...

Now I find most don't wave 'cos I'm an old duffer and they wouldn't look cool.. ?

Worried that Scoob owning is becoming a bit chav ?

Dunx

You're damn fcuking right I am!

I got a wave last Saturday :thumb: wasn't even in my beast, was driving my mates 2.5 M reg Landy and a fellow landy owner passed and waved at me, so thought it only polite to wave back :D:D:D:D

Loads of waving in Midlands :thumb:

I'll wave if you wave ! :)

People must be a bit more friendly round here, every scooby driver I've seen since has given me a wave back! Even the new age ones which used to be rare!

Hey Elmer,
my little sis says that they ALL have tints, boomin' stereos, and bling wheels + loud exhaust !

Three out of four aint bad, can't afford the tints.

Excuse 1.
My neighbours have little kids, so loud stereo in the car now...

Excuse 2.
I like my wheels, don't care about gold rally slag look. ( Car is black)...

Excuse 3.
Health & Safety Law requires that a Subaru burble be heard clearly heard by the masses...

I must agree get more waves from folk in EVO's than ROO's, never had a wagon reply the gesture yet. Blokes in suits find it difficult as well, maybe it is because it's a woman driving one.

How do all!

Guess this is as good a topic as any to introduce my first reply!

I just got my 1998 Impreza last night, and our town (Armagh, Northern Ireland) is getting fairly common with Scooby's of all pre '05.

Anyway, waving....I passed 2 Impreza's gave a wave and a nod in that order, and got the same back. All good. :luxhello: hehe

Don't do the wave, proper gay! :freak3:
Just a quick flash of the lights or,
If you just notice a scoob at last minute as you're driving past,
give 'em the scooby nod!:thumb:

ive only had my scoob (bugeye) 6 weeks and noticed that only modded (like mine) or sti/wr1 owners will wave standard owners allway blank me

I agree that a full on "Hiya guys!" wave is completely proper gay indeed, but a wee flick of the hand to say 'S'up'....thats a 'wave' technically, and is as much as is needed. :thumb:

2 out of 3 impreza waves today:thumb: dont think the other guy saw me

3 out of 3 waves today (of which one was a brand new scooby police car,and he waved first)

Hi all,you have me in stitches,
when Im out driving, Im in my own little world and quite often dont see the scooby nod,until it was too late.Paul always has a go at me!!!Like many of you I think it cheers him up.ha ha.Its got to the point where the kids will be on the look out to tell me when one is comming.
So Im sorry to all that I have ignored,its not on purpose,I had a classic wagon before the bugeyed I now drive and I was the same in that.

Ive got a classic and have noticed all classics wave back but post 2000 scoobs dont allways !!!!!!

Still going strong down here, got three yesterday morning alone :thumb:

The wave is one of the things that sold me on an Impreza - first one I test drove I got three waves. I waved at a couple the other day forgetting I was driving a work van, not my car. Fantastic... how many other car makes can there be with that sense of community? We can't and mustn't let it die out!

Maybe its not only the death of the wave but the death of Subaru
:eek2:
Looking at the new model i think says it all.

Nik.

I will wave aswell, nice graphics btw:thumb:

Well, Ive got an Evo and a Scooby,

I only generally wave to people who I can clearly see are into there scoobies, i.e modded cars,sti's special editions etc.

Most in my area will give a wave back, doesnt matter which car im driving, its fairly easy to predict who will wave and who wont.

Being a biker also, the nod is very important to us :)

There's nothing chav about owing a Impreza, Scoob, Scooby, or Legacy, they are fun cars to own/drive, and whats wrong with a friendly wave to another Subaru owner, its not ghey or sad. Most owners do still wave no matter which year car they have. The ppl that dont flash or wave back are the sad ones.

I for one always wave at all scoobs,even the sport model.
Although there is the odd time i miss someone because im concentrating on my driving.

I will always try the raised right hand of the steering wheel rather than a full blown I'm your best buddy wave and I seem to get a response 50% of the time. Mainly classics and sti's.

My brother borrowed the car for about 20 minutes last sunday to drop his step son off at his friends and was amazed at the acknowledgments from other motorists. His quote "A guy in an Evo gave a respectful nod too, gotta get one of these".

It seems to me any jap car enthusiast will try and acknowledge another.
