Hi everyone,

I've had my STI since May this year and at first I was a bit mystified by the waves and headlight flashes from other Scooby drivers. I have since realised that the acknowledgements are a kind of mutual respect between the Subaru owners. I have to say that I have never driven anything as reassuring and as exciting as my Scooby, they certainly are one 'hell of a car'.

I think it is only fitting that the Scooby owners should have a forum such as this which is full of such helpful and knowledgeable people. Keep flying the flag!

Welcome

Welcome m8.
I thought it was a local thing where some other scooby drivers don't wave, never mind we will persist in waving, some more scooby drivers are starting to wave, we will convert them then they will see what they are missing.

Yeah, the waves are good aren't they. Personally I find flashed lights a bit of a nuisance: does it mean "Hi", or "Take Care, there's a speed trap round the next corner"?

have always assumed that the enthusiasts wave back - its often the slack jawed chavs who just stare back at you with their usual gormless expression.

...I just wish when they waved back they'd use more than two fingers

Ps appoliges to all the Peeps i have "Flashed" my wipers to in the last 4 months just went back to a Classic and they are on opposite sides to a Newage

Acknowledgement of oncoming Scooby drivers should be made one of the commandments given to all members who join the board.

...though shall wave to all fellow Scooby drivers..chav or gent...

Being all excited in my new Scooby I waved several others, one of them in another bug eye sti just looked at me like an idiot, the only other car that waved me was an EVO! just goes to show eh!

Be careful though, it quickly becomes second nature and you'll find yourself wanting to wave when you're not in a Scooby as I've done in the wife's Corsa. I almost waved to a Scooby when I was hacking along on my mountain bike the other night

I honestly gotta say i haven't owned a car where other drivers flash me so much,

the friendliest drivers of all scooby drivers i found in the dorset area and new forest

Hi Folks

Nice to be made so welcome into a forum occupied by such nice and often amusing people. Has anyone ever experienced the sound of a multitude of Scoobies all driving down the same street at the same time? I bet that would sound awesome and judging by the photos in one of the other topics 'a sight to behold'.

Something I don't quite understand is why the 5 door scooby owner never waves?

Also I never saw an old age owner waving at me. I had the same feeling when driving my new Mini against old mini: they either think you are not worth it or they are jalous...

4 door blob and bug eyes rules!?

gaz c

dont forget the classics.
where it started!

k2iss

Sorry, by "old age" (oops) I meant the classics. I don't understand why but owners of the classic never seems to wave to new age. Or is it just an idea?

pedroartois

Slightly confused here - the 'classic' refers to the car or the owner?
case 1= I am "new age"
case 2= I am "old age" (I really don't feel it though)

k2iss

Arggggg I've confused everybody now!!!
To me: classic = old age = first shape imprezas (the cute one)

WHY DO THEY NOT WAVE AT ME ???

pedroartois

I'll make a point of waving at every scooby I see from now on - chances are at some point I will wave at you. Feel better now?

k2iss

We still have to educate the wagon owner though, I'm doing that everyday...

pedroartois

One of my partners at work is a wagon owner - he's a man on a mission most of the time and probably doesn't see the freindly wave of another scooby owner - too busy wrapped up in a desire to succeed or self destruct. I have to pay hommage though - after riding in his wagon I really wanted a scooby - hence my STI and a whole new meaning to driving a car.

Only on dodgy grey imports form Japan

They're the right way round on a UK Classic

gaz c

my scooby is (the cute one) classic shape and i wave at all scoobys old or new. 7 out of 10 new age scooby owners will wave back. its the other three that dont!

mrjud

i have noticed in my classic that all classics wave or flash at me and i always return it or i do it first the only thing i can say is that there are many bugeye and newer just look at you as if to say **** off chav mines at least double the value.or even a shake of the head and then they look away.why do they need to do this i thought there was a mutual respect thing but now i'm not sure. i hope no one takes this the wrong way but this is just my findings.

gaz c

take it the wrong way.
im with you on that one m8.

catmeat

I had a Yellow Cinquecento Sporting with Prancing Horse stickers on the front wings and Agip stickers on the rear quarter panels. Got waves from ALL Cinqs and from a local 348 owner who saw the funny side. My missus says only wave if they wave first........Womens logic eh..

jimmy boo

I wave to all passing scoobs and 9 times out of 10 get one back although it always seems to be me to go first
Those that blank me tend to be the suited bussiness types or middle aged women in their wagons but they probably are not on here to know the ettiquete anyway
Driving through Ayr last week I waved at two Evo's within about 30 seconds of each other and got very enthusiastic waves back.........which was nice
