Apart from the normal crowd of 'cause 
(Gridlock, salsa, hanslow, scooberators, doc, dhill etc )
Why does nobody else wave or acknowledge

Don't think it's just a few mate, Went all the way to Manchester and came back the "very" scenic route, Saw 5 Scoobs and was "admired" by loads of non scoob vehicles (potential scoobynet folk in thier company vans etc) and not as much as a mention
Maybe they are not as common as those EVO dudes will have us belive (tongue in cheek)

I have got a few waves around town.
One (grudgingly) from a guy in a DBM 99(?) who gave me a "you're very sad but I'll humour you" look! :P
Who owns the tarted up DBM with the ? "Motorsport" windscreen visor sticker? Was in traffic heading towards Trent Bridge the other evening about 6.30. Didn't see (or hear) me!

I agree, I've just bought my Sti, and not one Scooby owner has give me a wave. It could be I'm driving like an 80 yr old (running in). But seriously the only ackowlegement I get is from middle aged boy racers and kids. Shame Nottingham's quite nice other than that. Tell me what you drive and I'll promise to acknowledge you.....

salsa, is that the McD's on the retail park? In which case, I'll see if I can make it. If not, which McD's? :-) Nice lighting BTW, I'll have no trouble spotting you! <g> I've just got a standard dark blue turbo at the moment, got to have a think what mods I want for it now ....

hey Salsa, I just saw you on the circuit about an hour ago! I tried to pull up by your side to say "Hello" but after about ten minutes of getting bored in traffic I decided to head home
Seems the police are clamping down on people parking up next to the NCP. There was also a mobile speed van on Castle Boulevard (conveniently hidden behind a tree if you were heading out of Notts <grrr> ) .... luckily I was below 30 when I passed thru :-)

You're right...most people I see in Nottingham, don't wave. They obvioulsy don't get the whole Scoob thing, which is there perogative. Only the usual 'crowd' seem to wave.
If you see a half stripped out P1, wave, 'cos it's me.

I ALWAYS wave to every Scoob- Turbo or Sport and when I don't get a wave back the missus just laughs at me and calls me a sad ****!
Red 98 morrettes, highline spoiler, front spoiler silver Prodrive super T's...... always around South Notts/ West Bridgford ( the classier parts of Notts!) ....... just wave...please.
Cheers, zip.

I always try and wave. If I don't wave, it means that I haven't seen you.
"Middle aged boy racers" LOL
DBM MY00, 7-spoke wheels, Prodrive stickers. Usually has lights on.
Oh, and name in rear side windows (how could I forget that)
