When I was a kid my dad had a Saab that he used to do road rallies in, when we went on holiday every Saab we saw would flash and wave, when I was young I thought is was great and was really disappointed when Saab went up market and it all stopped.

When I got my Subaru I started getting flashed and waved at, the first time I was so surprised I tried to flash back but just managed to single wipe the windscreen ...

Bit daft, but I think its great, and my dad is quite amused, now I always look out for Subaru’s, obviously with my right hand at the ready!!!

Keep it up!!!! remember just because other Subaru drivers don't do the same doesn't make them ignorant, they may just wonder why the hell somebody just flashed and waved at them

I think it's great too
And I reckon my return wave rate is over 50% now

Keep waving, they WILL wave back eventually. Been working on a local silver classic. The guy has a face like a smacked ar*e, but to his credit he has started waving back.

Scumbag

You really mean imprezas, rather than scoobies

Having driven an imported 280 bhp Legacy B4 for 2 1/2 years, and 50,000 miles, I have only once (yes ONCE) had a wave returned on all of the 100's of times I have waved (and I'm not including the one and 2-finger salutes I get from scooby drivers who think I'm trying to tell them off about something).

I wave to legacys and foresters, but they usually don't wave back.... But I get the same from 'most' imprezas !

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained ...

More waving please!

Since pickin my beastie up on the 29th of December 03 I have had 1 wave back from probably 30 attempts

If you see a silver classic between Manchester and Lancaster on M6 & M61.. gimme a wave please so I dont feel like Im flashing my lights like a lunatic for no reason

J

what would scooby do

Do the same for Vauxhall Nova's - just use a slightly different hand gesture

BittenEdges

Best one I had was I pulled up the lights next to a P1 I looked at the guy he looked we bothe nodded then drove off. lol!

I have to admit it does make me proud to own the car doubt you would get it with many other cars

Hi,

i have quite a good wave rate - trained the missus to watch out for scoobies

However, PLEASE PLEASE do not expect a wave back if she is driving - she is dangerous enough with two hands on the wheel let alone taking one off, trying to wave while concentrating on driving, concentrating on not crashing then getting the waving hand back on the steering wheel while concentrating on driving ...

I always wave. and success rate is about 50% but nobody seems to mention seeing other Impreza owners on the WAS IT YOU FORUM. north of Manchester and Leeds.

Keep up the waving owning an Impreza is like joining a family and was wondering If Evo ownership is the same.

i get a 50/50 response too, i felt quite chuffed when i told my dad about it, he then knocked the wind right out my sails by telling me all of his morris minor buddies wave to each other aswell

Si97, i to have achevied the single windscreen wipe! only had my scooby 2 weeks today and have taken to waveing as the flash generally gets confused with the wipers. will sort it out one day!
Love the waving thing, although not everyone seems to agree, plenty of people ignore the wave

I pulled up alongside an Evo6 Tommi Makkinen edition the other week. I looked across at the bloke and there was the classic narrowing of eyes and barely perceptible nod that you usually only see in Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. We both pulled away normally, almost trying NOT to be the first away from the line!
