WTF has happened to the commeradery (sp?) amongst the Scooby ownership? I remeber when I had my UK MY98, their were friendly waves abound. What happens now? Nothing, folk look at you, as if your daft. I've also had the bird, V's and ****** in return to my polite recognition of a fellow owner.

But before someone mentions it, yeah, they probably already know me!!

Hi John

It must just be the way you wave then.

Your not wrong John.

When I got my first Subaru back in 97 - everyone waved.

Never see it now, but I'm as guilty myself for not bothering now.

Should we try to revive it, or is it a bit sad anyway?

I know I have waved to some guys and been blanked, then again I have missed some people too.
Gotta wave, its what sets us apart from other marques, yeh I spose it can seem sad but if we dont acknowledge each other then we are as bad as BMW drivers............ not a nice comparison really now is it
Oh and dont even think about saying new age drivers dont wave back I know that most of the cars that dont respond to me are classic owners. So if you see a MY01 rex, wave back please.
Spooks

BTW John, hope it wasnt me that blanked ya

sarahbee

we are classic owners and wave if I recognise the car.

i fell a bit silly waving to a scoob that i don't know but from now on I will wave and see what kinda response we get

OK - Agreed John - we all will wave from now on at any Impreza driver who sees us, even if they don't wave back!!

Let's bring back the tradition - Scooby Wave - in version 2, like Scoobynet (just not so colourful).

Zeolite

Does that include Sports?

OK I will be in the aberdeen area on Tuesday so I will wave to all Scoobs. Even the Justys. I will be in a blue classic wagon so I look forward to all the responses.

JohnnyR6

If someone waves to me i'll wave back but i'd never wave first anymore as i'm fed up looking like a prat when the other driver doesn't wave back.

It seems im always in my wifes 5-door-sport whenever i see another turbo and i dont usually get waves in it... but when i am in the dbm turbo i get a 50-50 response to my waves... the wife/passengers always laugh like drains when i get blanked but it doesnt stop me from trying...

OK, I'll do my best to wave to every Impreza, including Sports.

Not waving to Sports is a bit like when I had my motorbike.
2 rules - never wave to a moped / scooter, and never wave to a learner.

Don't know who started it, but think it was part of the test.

Subarstar

Not many wavers in Glasgow/Ayrshire area.

Come on guys, help me out here! The missus thinks I'm the only one who actually waves, she thinks the whole wave thing was just made up - By me!

Marky-San

yeah I heard loads about this and tried it quite a few times with some success - then got mainly daft looks so I stopped. Now no one seems to bother.

I've had best success with cars of same shape - newer ones have never acknowledged me - ever.


However, I will try again!!

scoobylav

I always do it always have done and always will so there

kevin sharp

LMAO....this is the only kind of wave you,ll get from some of the dicks driving scoobs these days




*disclaimer other performance cars are sometimes driven by dicks aswell*

kevin sharp

obviously nobody saw the funny side of that

it wasnt a go at scoob owners...lets just say if i drove round waving to every other cossie on the road i wouldnt be at all surprised by that response

maybe thats cos i live in fife ...might be diffrent in other areas

Johnny50

lol @ Kev...

I thought it was funny !

I've also stopped waving....as nobody ever waves back.

EwanS

John,Kevin, and all,
I agree that there are those who have no idea why I wave but then there are those that have no idea why they bought a Scoob / Evo / Cossie or other perf. car in the first place. The majority of the people on this forum did not buy a scoob as an A to B car - it's more than that as we all know.
So I think the idea is Keep waving, If you get the bird or whatever then it's not us that are the *******, its the ****** giving the bird !! And usually they only bought their scoob cos it was Blue and they liked the colour!!!
they are usually jealous because they know that you could blow them off without really trying
EwanS
Ps John, You get the Bird cos we all know who you are !!! LOL

richie,7,RA,spec C

yep i'l confirm that m8 not many people wave but ,then u bump it to people like me who give u the big thumbs up and u think yes
there's a man who knows what he's got and appreciates it and has respect for other scooby drivers (even if they drive a grey import)
richie
p.s. wales v scotland going to be a good game

JohnnyR6

The way to ensure a wave is to get a bike, bikers always wave to each other.
