Always wave! I'd rather be a car enthusiast and wave, rather than a grumpy f&cker that doesn't!

Make good eye contact, hint of a smile, look as if you might wave, then as they wave smuggly stick your nose in the air as if to say "How common, its only a feckin' car mate!!!"

If we both had a cloned Caprice on each arm you might get a nod of mutual appreciation, but a car, nah!!!

I think I may start and wave

Had a few strange looks when I first started doing it, so I gave up. Will give it another shot. Seems to work better with classic owners. I never got acknowledged by the newage owners <shrug>

i was a classic owner myself once
i think the current trend of having a scoob as a company car amongst older men is killing the waving thing for newage!
i myself wave at everything with the subaru badge on, but you're right only about half even seem to notice. Especially the guy i sat next to at the lights last week looked at me as if i was s**t when i gave him the nod!

I'm sure that most of those that don't wave back didn't click there was another scoob heading in the opposite direction in time.

(read...those that wave are better drivers, more aware )

Always wave. Totally agree with Chrispurvis 100. Best response is from Classic owners. Would sound horn if it didn't sound naff.

I've only had my WRX300 a few days so I haven't yet seen many other Scoobs to wave to - and the few that I have seen were either going too fast in the other direction or I didn't get chance to wave in time! Sorry if that was anyone on here...

However, I have always smiled at least, so if I don't get round to waving (and I will try, because I think it's a nice thing to do) you'll at least always get a smile from me!

Speaking as a STi 04 company car driver I always wave, even to the guy that lives in the same town as me and drives a silver classic that I have waved to about 20 times now and get 'the look' everytime I do it, he aint gonna beat me !
