OK, a bit of fun really but I've noticed after having a Scoob for three years now that there is a mix of people who acknowledge each other as drivers of the 'best car on the road'.

I'd like to think that we have a bit of an exclusive club going and we should acknowledge that fact with a wave.

You will always get the 'ol git' who drives his Impreza like it's a Metro who looks at you with disgust if you wave or flash your lights at him, or immediately starts looking for the fuzz with a radar camera, never mind they'll work it out eventually. ;-)

So, when you see another Impreza, wave at him, you know it makes sense. (This rule doesn't apply to drivers around the Manchester area who might see white ones with orange stripes down the side, these drivers don't have a sense of humour and should be avoided at all cost!)

I wave all the time (well nearly, some go past tooooo fast )

ive had only one 'confirmed' wave back (owner for 2 months now)

i think 'the wave' is a ScoobyNet thing and not everyone in one the net.

By the way, hi ya (waving franticly)

I usually 'wave' but, usually, get no response.

I have to disagree on the 'best car on the road' thing. I take exception to that superior attitude because its all subjective. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, so I'm offering mine.

It seems a friendly thing to wave to drivers of the same type of car, if only because there is a cameraderie amongst users of this website for one, borne of enthusiasm of ownership, but there's plenty of 'better' cars on the road, depending on your definition of course!

 

I try my best to wave but its damn difficult to wave when you're trying to overtake those damn mondeos.

Truthfully, I normally just flash my headlights at them but I haven't got any responses yet.

 

I only wave to female Scooby drivers and then only if they are under the age of 35

 

I always wave or put my hand up but the girlfriend thinks i am nuts (scooby owner 13 months)

 

I always wave - had about 5 responses and had scoob for..er..3 weeks!

Only been waved at twice (seven months) - Steve, if you are the green one in the Chester area, you were one of the waves.

No sorry mate i drive a bog eyed DBM. keep an eye out for me

Steve

 

You can always guarantee i'll wave

 

i did get waved at by a 2001 model blue on the a272 the other day but was racing through a set of bends at the time so didnt really have chance to acknowldge him so i werent just being rude, i have only been subaru driver for 4 weeks and alot of people do acknowledge you still

 

I always wave

 

I always wave (even to sport owners), unless i see some miserable old git at the wheel.

 

I am that miserable git!

 

Is it a silver 4 door by any chance? probably MY97 onwards?...

 

i,ve been the owner of a Scooby WRX for about a year now, and only but a few oldies do "wave". Some drivers flash H/L, spots or whatever they fancy!!? Hey the worlds a wonderful place....just smile to then give it some gas.

 

Sorry Crushy, I didn't mean literally! Haven't taken it to Scottieland yet, saving up for the petrol!
(btw it's a green 5-dr)

 

Yep, Scooby owners definitely still wave - had three waves on the way to work yesterday alone!!
Last week I think I surprised a MY01 owner by waving at him - full credit though, he waved back!

 

Cool. mine is a green 5 door. not the usual green though. it's a light mettalic strange sort of colour.

 

i was in a petrol station the other day just off a273 at ansty in my own little world filling up with petrol, could here a voice but didnt pay much attention, then my mate from in the car says that the guy next to me was talking to me, looked up to see a green impreza estate, so if that was you, sorry i was miles away.

 

I don't think that was me. I usually use the shell ones at HH and Scaynes Hill. I never talk to strangers anyway. Charlie said......

 

Sorry duplicated it by mistake

Crushinator,

Even some of us 'miserable old gits' wave so if you see one still give 'em a wave!

 

yeah mine is a silver 93 wrx with gold wheels and i usually try and use hh or scaynes hill but that was a bit of a desperate situation, like wouldnt have made it home otherwise!!

 

fair point motorman. it should be interesting to see the reactions heh heh heh.

Does anybody else see middle-old class women driving impreza turbos? or is it just me?

 

I've seen the women too heh

I try and wave to any Scooby Impreza I see, Flash headlights too. I've had 1 flash back and 1 wave

Though I have had a few granpa's stare back @ me

will carry on waving and flashing away

James

 

What about Legacies?. Does anybody care about them?

 

Whats a legacy?

 

It's open to debate, but... ...legend has it, they're 10 metres long, they rip open imprezas and steal their guts for their own pleasure, they've evolved over a hundred years, and they're trying to outdo our beloved imprezas. I think they breathe fire too...

PLEASE BE VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES!!! THESE THINGS ARE FOR REAL!!!

 

You been on the Scotch already?
