Do you Flash, nod or Wave to fellow scoobs?

The misses thinks im mad because i flash and wave at fellow owners! lol

Just wondering who else does?

Although i find myself only doing it to the New age versions - maybe because im in the blob, but i seem to be blind against classics and the latest "family" version?

I do tbh, although 60% don't wave back.

round here most i see belong to WMI who tend to give a nod or quick flash of the lights.

Just drive straight passed, I'm in the "family version" as you put it so it's either owners don't notice, or I'm not considered not in a proper Impreza so I get ignored or my favourite and the one I go with

Their jealous as they can't face that time moves on and I drive a much more capable car and have the ***** to go against the society by driving an Impreza hatchback

Cool

I always flash and wave, I've forgotten I've been driving the wife's Picasso and flashed too.
I had a nice chap in a red MG ZR flash me whilst in the scoob the other day, I flashed back and waved of course.

I always flash or wave, but don't always get a reply back. My misses thinks I'm mad and can't understand why we Subaru drivers wave or flash each other and other people driving say a ford focus or vauxhall Astra don't. Lol. I have given up trying to explain it to her now.

I do a subtle 'finger wave off the steering wheel' then they'll only see it if theyre looking for it. Its always a nice feeling to get a wave back.

Me too. It makes my fiancée laugh at some of the reactions from other drivers. I love the general enthusiasm we share for each others' cars.

It does nark me a bit when other drivers notice but don't return the "Scooby wave".

Ah, so that's why no classics wave at me....you all must be age'ist

When I first got the car I done a fingers up off the steering wheel wave, funnily enough I didn't really get a response from classics though a few more from newage. I don't see many hatches on the road to wave at.

Ive stopped doing it now, I wait for people to wave/flash at me!
