Default Waver or non-waver !!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me or do you guys find a lot of other scooby drivers will not acknowledge you.
Countless occasions I have given a friendly nod or wave and they just look and carry on.
I'm from the Bucks area but travel around a hell of a lot with work. So its not just my area.

Do you acknowledge back or not ???
Feed back please

Class 'lo mate!


I wave but I know some think its a bit geeky. Even got a wave from a bug eye yesterday!

Sometimes folk just stare as if to say "What the hell is he doing?"

Actually seems like the local ones to me don't wave as their spending too much time seeing whose is the better car.

Can't help it if Sonic Blue is just the best colour ever!

Yeah the kids are good at that aren't they. However my 3 yr old shouted out at me "there's one dad" but it was a bloody escort.

I'll let him off this once.........

I wave if the oncoming driver looks like hes acknowledged there being another scooby coming the other way! seen a few local scoobs driving around with drivers that look like they struggle to see the car infront let alone on the other side of the road. If the kids are in the car they take care of the waving through the back window to cars behind ( took a while to explain that just because its a blue car if its doesnt look like daddies then its not a subaru )

since a fortnight ago i promised myself to NEVER wave again

1 simple reason at a set of traffic lights (near meadowhall)
i saw a bug eye (silver with lexus lights) at the right lane,
i got to the left lane stopped turn to look at him and nod, but JUST caught him, turning and looking the opposite direction

i always wave...im a biker as well so its a throwback to nodding at other riders...and ive been flashed (ooer!) and waved at alot (beds/herts/bucks area), so i always return the gesture...

do you think its fair to say that most WRX and STi drivers (inc other special editions and classics) are in it for the whole scooby experience, whereas most GL or legacy drivers arent...its just a family car to them isnt it...?!

Got caught cold the other day, I'm afraid to say.

Was waved at by a lady Evo driver - unexpected but not unwelcome.

Where abouts Lee?

I'm in the NE to and i always try to acknowledge people in some way but only 1 has ever returned the compliment, a MY04 WRX in black, on the A1 just outside durham.

The only reason i still do it is that i've only had a scoob for 3 weeks and am not bored of the rejection yet!
