I've read and posted in the various threads surrounding the scooby wave.

My posts echoed the ignorance of the so called higher class bug/blob eye scooby drivers who simply would not respond to me, a mere classic sti ra driver.

BUT all I get waves from now are new shape drivers.
I take back everything, well almost everything I ever posted about them.

Saw a very fast bug eye comming towards me last week, must've been doing in excess of a ton through a 40, cant beleive he still managed to flash his lights and put his thumb upto me wearing a huge grin.

I nearly turned around thinking I was gonna find him in the hedge on the aproach to the nasty chicane he was heading for. CRAZY

 

Some newage drivers simpley don't care about driving a scoob and just wanted a fast car! So thats why some don't wave, god even some classics don't wave!

I wave to all impreza's!

 

I think it depends where you are too. Lots of wavers in the Poole/Bournemouth area... but on several trips to the wilderness aka Southampton I have had very little response. However the Hants Scooby crew are a fine bunch of people, so maybe it just depends on the driver's mood/awareness etc on the day!

 

I very rarely get waved at. I did, today, however get the 'scooby nod', just a slight lowering of head towards chin, this was from a fellow 'classic' driver.

 

When joining scooby ownership again, i was waving to everyone, got very little response back.

I just flash my lights now, and only wave if waved at.

 

I got a nod from a WR1 owner yesterday .

Most Classic owners round here don't wave .

Bugeye owner and ALWAYS a waver what ever Scoob it is , Wolfie.

 

I live in shenfield, essex and wave to all scoobs and they all with the odd exception wave back. Funniest was some 'old chap' in a wagon looked visibly shocked when I waved at him

 

I always wave (Bugeye owner)

Little girl thinks it's weird we do it !!!!

 

i always wave (blobeye) unless in my own little world usually thinking about what to do next to the car

but i do think there are more people that just buy car and have no clue about the scooby wave which from these you either get a look of your a weirdo or when you wave and flash they obviously think there car must be on fire!

 

I always wave (53 blob STI) but am on the 3rd one now since original classic 97.
I think its some of these new first time owners? who dont know they should wave.
Cant get the girlfriend to wave when she's driving me home from the pub tho'.
I've also noticed, now I'm back biking again that there seems to be an equivalent 'nod' between bikers round here (leeds) so I nod back.

ive had a uk classic, a type RA, an 01 bugeye wrx, and now i have an sti 02 bugeye. and i have always waved we are a friendly bunch in the Midlands

 

Always nodded when I was riding, always wave (if I see them) when driving the Scooby.

 

i wave to all drivers, i find classics ignore me more than new ages! ( and i drive a blobeye) there is a nice blue classic wagon modded round here who always waves back tho

 

Can everyone wave to any GX sport on an 05 plate they see. My brother has one and I think he's like "WTF" with all the waves he's gettng.

 

I see quite alot around shrewsbury and give them a wave, most usually wave back

 

I always wave! Classics are the friendliest people, but suffered a quandry the other day... got a wave from an old boy in a Forester- is it rude not to wave back?

 

Well I'm from Beds and it's about 50/50 down here. I always wave (if I see em coming...lol), a few return the wave and a few don't. Had both the classic and bug eye shapes. Just getting my 1st STi on Friday (all being well) so I'll be beaming from ear to ear if you see a black un flying about Bedfordshire...hehe.

Keep waving guys and gals!

Paul.

 

wave errr nope !

 

saw a 54 plate blob eye today on a set of lights in scunny near the steelworks for any body who knows where im referring to. give a flash or two, and the three posh sunglass wearing, cappucino drinking, cigar smoking, toff reps just pointed and laughed at me. was it because "all" i have is a classsic wrx import? or because they are driving the bosses car and have no idea about the secret laws of scoob driving?

i was annoyed but let it drop and felt sorry for them in a way in their "penthouse, higher level" standard of closed mind life.

apologies for the stereotype for decent reps if they exist...

 

Now that is a question

DO we wave back if a none impreza subaru waves?

 

yep, lots of friendly people in Shrewsbury. driving smart scoobies.

 

must admit i prefer the "subtle nod" myself, just incase im blanked, then i wont feel a total nonce infront of the missus.

 

I always wave........ always. I mean it's just rude not to.

However if people feel the need not to then thats OK.

Foresters and Legacys never, ever wave. In fact most of them look at you as if you have just crapped on their bonnet.

Classics usually don't bother.

Bug eyes sometimes do ( there is one in Kent however who I have waved at three or four times now, just outside Canterbury, without getting any response)

Blob eyes are the most enthusiastic with the most waves and hawk eyes are running at 100% as I have only ever come across one

 

Bugeye owner always wave soon to be a japseye owner and will carry on waving!

 

always wave or flash (oo-er)...hate not getting a response...!!!

 

ive never ever ever had a wave back from a bug or blob the snooty gits

 

Are you from shrewsbury mate or just pass through?

 

was in cheltenham town centre today and there was 3 new shape on albion street not one waved starting to think most new shape subaru drivers in cheltenham are miserable sods

 

I have an 03 blob, i always give a wave unless my mind is elsewhere!
Recently been to France on holiday and didn't see a single Impreza in the 1000 miles of driving!!!

 

Around sheffield.

Tend to find classic owners wave. 2 silvers and a blue so far.

And a RB5 thats was trying for the land speed record i think.
