And another thing...
When I do get a flash and a wave, I rush to the Was it You section and I'm never there (and nobody replies when I post).
Could it be that the wavers are not scoobynetters?

AHA
the answer to the wave issue is in the thread
i believe it was dazza who summed it up
" when i see the big spots"
its what i said all along!!
how many people thought of scoobys as a serious car in the eightys?? farmers prehaps??
how many people thought of the scooby as a serious car once mr Mcrae had his way with it....
my 96 gl classic (IMPREZA) prefacelift and very invisible
sorry couldnt help myself there

I give a little wave or a thumbs up, or sometimes flash my headlights my missus thinks it's great, normally she spots a Scoob coming towards us before I do

I find the waving issue to be very Elitist to the imprezza driver, I drive a Legacy estate, and can only dream of the day I can afford an imprezza, I wave at all Subaru's with little response so tend not to bother now, I get more reaction from the boy racers in their nova's who often wonder why they cant keep up with an estate car lol, never the less I love everything Subaru and will continue to visit scoobynet

Did'nt know about the wave! But can see why you would. Had some kids waving at me from a motorway bridge leaving the 602. Even they knew....
Will make a concerted effort in future.

Whilst working in North Wales I find most scoobies old and new shape wave back- friendly lot! But in Staffs the bug eye and 03 models are miserable as sin. No waves, not even a flinch, nod or smile! Come on you midlands lot- buck up and give the friendly classic green turbo a wave!!
When you approach another scoob from behind, do you wave or flash? Always thought that the person in front thinks there is something wrong with their car or....judging by how paranoid we all are...trying to nick it!
Well???

Maybe if you flash when coming up behind them they'll either move over or speed up!
This one is a mystery to me - you can't wave because the driver in front may not be looking in the mirror when you wave... maybe you should slow down and travel in convoy for a while?
