Yes you know who you are! The bloke in the Dark Green Scoob. I was right beside you facing the other way in traffic, as soon as you saw another Scoob, you turned your head away. Are you embarrased to be driving one?, or don't you like waving to ladies!

Ignorant doesn't mean ignoring someone...

What does it mean then? He had his head turned so far away I'm suprised he didn't crash into the car in front!

He he! Couldn't resist - But it means to display an opinion with a lack of knowledge about a subject. I think.

Ive had the ignoring thing quite a few times, never really understood it when youre at the lights next to someone. Fair enough if you go past and people don't wave.

I certainly wasn't attracted to him, he was about 100!
Seriously tho, it wouldn't kill people to just nod would it?
I had the same thing about a week ago in Gravesend town centre with a lady in a yellow sport, she just looked so embarrased when I flashed (my headlights) at her.
Anyway I'm going to keep flashing...

I agree, I get slightly annoyed when another scooby driver ignores me.

I drive an RB5 and I saw another RB5 about 5 weeks ago. As you can understand, this does not happen that often. I was sitting opposite them at a traffic lights and they refused to look at me, and when they passed they just looked straight ahead and ignored me.

A little wave or a flash of the lights puts a smile on peoples faces.

There are too many Scooby drivers who don't wave back. I've just about given up waving myself now unless waved to first. Does that make me as bad as them?????

Maybe we should all meet up at Bridgewood roundabout and flash/wave each other for a couple of circuits?.

That would be a site!, (if we didnt all crash trying to stay in those (well thought out) lanes!).

JGM,

No need to flash and wave for them to pull out in front of you especially all those last minute lane changers at Bridgewood. Got to admit though the lane markings there leave a lot to be desired.

I'm glad you said that this bloke was about 100! I am only a young pup in comparison but I do drive a dark green Scoob and occasionally find myself around there. I am sure I would have noticed you though and I would have waved so could't have been me!

Being a Medway Towns dweller, hardly see any scoobs, fair weather drivers only?....... treat yourself get'em dirty.

By the way there's an impreza up for grabs in the area, d/blue and shiny, it's in the trader. If anyones interested it's worth a look.

I never realised there was that many of in the Medway (and Gravesend) area.

Perhaps we should have our own meet up at the F1 cafe once a month?

Who drives what? - Ive got a Silver TypeR with Gold wheels.

I only visit Medway towns occasionally... weekend just gone went to Camping International in Gillingham and Toys'r'us the other week...

Work in Derby in the week and live near Leeds Castle and only there at the weekends.

Went to College at Horsted and worked for 7years for GEC Rochester..........

Possible might be able to spare the time for a meet...

Oh poooh... yeah it was Terry that sold me the trailer tent.

I am actually popping in there Friday for some electric hook up cables....

So is he into Scoobies? he didn't say anything when he helped hitch the trailer to my Scooby last year.

Cheers
