Question

I know that not everybody waves/acknowledges when they see another scooby but not one single new-age owner has ever responded to me. I don't think its personal (at least i hope its not!) as most classics wave back but there seems to be some sort of class divide thing between new & old.

What's with that?

You're absolutely right my son!

There's an air of class surrounding the new age Scoobs.

The Nissan Bluebird brigade are all b/ball cap wearing spotty teenagers (or tattoo'd up hooligans)

What a load of crap! I drive a "new age" and I personaly don`t like the title! I`m sure later model drivers didn`t come up with that title for a start. I wave to all Subaru drivers, not only WRX`s but ALL Skoobies, I think only 30% respond. Possibly because they don`t see me in time, not, I`m sure that they are "just being ignorant". Drop this "class" thing, (I`m better than you because I drive a later model) I personally have never felt that way, a Scooby driver is a Scooby driver no matter what year it is!

Easy tiger! I didn't mean any offence to new age Scooby owners, i was just curious as to why they don't wave back (and i never said anything about being ignorant either). I agree completely that a Scooby owner is a Scooby owner no matter what. Also, i nod or wave to owners of Evo's and Pulsar Gti's because they're fun cars, what make or model year is irrelevant.

I actually find it to be the other way round! I wave to new and old, but the old ones look decidely down their noses at me or don't wave at all.

....probably sad accounts with company lease cars....only £299
per month. Not real Scoob enthusiasts, they'd probably wave back if you were in a Volvo!
Not generalising of course - I geuss I'll have a bug eye one day.

I always wave, whether I get a wave back is another matter.

I don't car what the other Scoob is... I waved at a 1.6 one time!

I mistakingly waved at a corolla the other day and got a wave back top stuff

Waved at a WR blue new shape today and nothing. Not like they didnt see me as CW and DaveD went past before me. I have had a few wave back, well being a classic import owner I think they were waving .

I tend to find a modded car owner will wave, generally the standard brigade are the non wavers, doesnt matter if bug eye or old shape
