I wave and flash (lights ). I reckon only about 50% respond here in the Midlands though, and the majority in Warwickshire seem to be unaware of the idea. They just look blankly at you, or shake their head in disgust.

Bah!

Up here in Derbyshire no one or very few wave/acknowledge you, but recently went down to Bristol and everyone down there either waves/flashes or nods the head (It made a nice change compared to the grumpy farmer boys we've got up here).

I do but there ain't many of us here in France. It is the arrogance - they think it is OTT in looks. Other Scooby drivers are also sometimes reluctant to wave back

I have an MY03 and always wave / flash (Much to the amusement of the wife when people don't wave back !!!)
To me, they are all Scoobs... Doesn't matter if its old or new...
I try my best!!!
Mostly get a friendly wave or flash back - Not sure if when I have gone by the owners are thinking who the hell was that ? - and why did he wave ???

Maybe if I actually see them in time but I certainly don't feel the need to complain if they don't wave back.

Yea me 2.... I wave and Flash.. The women dont tend to wave back, in fact they dont even see me. Think maybe a women thing when they drive they have not a clue on whats going on around them(Not all women drivers dont wanna affend anyone).

JUST WAVE BACK(so i dont look stupid when i wave at you)
