Default Why don't P1's EVER wave????

i'm completely stumped that owners of P1's dont wave!

I see 2 in sheffield regularly and i always wave at them both. They never wave back.

I know for a fact they have both seen me waving, but they look completely blank like thay are trying to work out if they know me.....

anyone got any ideas

if you own a P1, and do wave, then this isnt aimed at you, its just that 100% of P1's i have seen in sheffield have not.

to all the wavers in the P1's

Off topic a bit, but who has put this thread on?

Is it me, Dannybwoy or my GF Kathryn_239? As it on the main 'Was it you?' menu it is down as Kathryn_239 but my name is on the first post?

Very confusing.

It WAS Kathryn who put it on, not me (Dannybwoy) just to clear it up.

Right, carry on !

They cant wave as the cars are so fast they need hold on with 2 hands

I have a P1 and find classic impreza drivers tend to wave, but new-age dont.

But then, half the folk driving new-age seem to be women who, as we all know, are oblivious to everybody else!!!

I always wave when im in the P1...! Not many wave back though...New age Sti's or Classic shape usually...
Had a wave and a flash the other day from a WR1 driver, that was a first...
Sometimes I forget and wave when im driving the Audi...I find this just confuses people..!!

It appears some non wavers think they're better because they don't wave. Makes them feel better about themselves

I'm a bugeye driver and wave at everything - including the "older" driver of a hawkeye wagon today who looked very confused about it all!

I actually feel kinda guilty if I miss waving at anyone.

I drive a sport, so it is very rare that people wave at me first, but most of the time when people see me wave, they wave back, Apart from the P1's mentioned previously....

Welll....... I think saloon drivers never wave at me .......... they look at me like I'm dirt! or just blank me.




Think it goes both ways really!

so impreza drivers do usually let on to each other then?????!! in 2 months, i've been polite and let on to any i've seen and been ignored every time!!

I drive BT vans in work and we let on to each other. I have driven vintage cars in the past and anyone else with an older car lets on to each other, as do bikes. I was beginning to think it just wasn't the case with subaru's!!!

is it cos it's a wagon??!?! it's not cool enough or something haha

I like waving at other road users.

I know its common knowledge that if u own a classic mini they beep.

But waving at other Subaru users seem good enought
