Question

...to each other?? Do they wave to Scoobies??

(FWIW I've waved to 3 EVOS from my STi7 and got a (polite!!) response each time!!)

I still forget I'm in my Skoda and flash at Scoobs. The drivers fo look confused. Cumbria police have a few unmarked Tavias so they must think they are getting a warning

on the way to TRAX I had waves from 2 x EVOs and 2 x Skyliners. It was the boys in their novas/corsas/escorts etc that wouldnt look over. also had a wave from a black EVO in Hayes, but I dont usually make the first move though. all good fun eh

The trouble is with scoobies is the number of none enthusiasts who drive them.
With EVO's you have to be into them just to own one and waving at anotherone becomes second nature. If every scoob was an STi then we would probably wave more.

When I had my EVO, I used to wave at full spec (P1,RB5 etc) scoob's

I thought if you drove an EVO there was something on the car that waved for you !! It does everything else for the driver !!

Yup - always wave and grin at Evo's Usually a thumbs up goes down better though Always get at least a smile back

After all - we're all fans of Japanese 4 wheel drive speedy cars

I find all the other RB5 owners don't wave, except one in glasgow about a year ago!

Even some fairly modded scoob owners don't. I don't bother if they have passengers though, it's embarrasing.

I ment the scoobs have been modified not the owners!

Never had a wave from an evo though.

I'm beginning to think a black STi is the ultimate stealth scoob...I get fair fewer waves back than I did in my mica red MY00 saloon...either that or I'm ignored

Edited cos I had a "micra red MY00 salon" by mistake..oops

Gareth

When I 'spot' a scoob - bearing in mind that actually I'm busy driving - it's either the driving lights (which a newish STi doesn't have) OR the black of the scoop which catches my subconscious eye. And a Black STi therefore 'hides' the scoop as well. That may well be why????

Yeah man! I always wave and put a huge grin on my face - most people ignore me mind - but I like to think that they are having as much fun driving about as myself...which could be the reason that they dont wave back!

Its Clio 172 drivers that always seem to give me the finger in return...not sure why?

hope everyone is cool this week.
