just saw it mentioned in another thread.

my dad has a vw camper and all vw owners seem to aknowledge him and each other when they drive past each other on the roads, so do scoob drivers so this as well?

just curious...

I use to flash my lights, but then the car in front would think "what the hell?". Now I just wave.

it all depends, for example if I am at a set of lights and another scooby pulls next to me in the next lane, I would smile and acknowledge the other driver providing he is level with me. If however the driver is slightly behind I would definitely not look behind my should just to give a wave as i'd look like a real nosey git.

Waving is good

Thumbs up

Matt: to wave is part of the Impreza culture but, as in all such things, there's a substantial minority who don't, for whatever reason.

HEy 84 I will wave to you now mind it wasnt me in the silver scoob mines blue. Anycase have you been to the TTS yet at the Duncow on the first Tuesday of the month. All the subaru owners fron Newcastle area meet up there. This week we are meeting on Tuesday at about 18:30 for a convoy down to triple six in Middlesborough which is a performance car place. It will be a right good laugh.

Let me know if you are going

He was on his own. I think you were right the first time. Owning a scooby, he should be always smiling.

I find the new age drivers are reluctant to wave to the classic owners for some reason, maybe it’s the embarrassment of driving such an ugly motor!!

yeh i think the reason a lot dont wave is because they dont understand scoob culture (not that i do either) but with vw's they ALL get it therefore they all wave.


i think when you buy your impreza you should get a little note on the V5' explaining the etiquette that is expected whilst driving you subaru.

just a thought!
