Is this common? How many Turbo / WRX / STi drivers are a bit stuck up?
I always wave at Sports etc, Cause ive got a Scoop big enough for their lack of one ........... !!

i have a new shape and i wave and flash at all scoobys. i think most people that have a sport dont know what they have. i get many suprised looks when i flash and wave at them.they dont seem to link there car with the faster version.
i would be willing to bet that some owners have no idea that there car is even a version of a world rally car. i usually look for the fog lights.
i am sure i am not the only one to think i saw a scooby comming towards me. only to see when it gets closer that it is a toyota corrola.
must add not all sport drivers are like that. but i have never been waved at by a sport in my area.

no one seems to think i am an scoob anyway

I tend to look for the scoop. The last sport owner I waved at stuck two fingers up at me!

i will flash any scoob but i tend to get some acknowledgement back whether it be a wave or smile or flash, all scoobs should stick together it is a bit of a larf and we are probably the only people that do it. I drive a Mica red sport round dorset (poole) and lets keep it up guys

So if the true enthusiasts have turbos, how come they cant spot another scooby!!!

I wave at every scooby i see.... and without fail,, all the turbo owners look

at me as though im some sort of 6 headed monster...

now a true enthusiast would be able to identify all varients of scooby, from a

gl to a sti..... but they openly admit if it hasnt got fogs or scoops they dont wave

certain posters seem to be implying is, its not a scooby, if it hasnt got a turbo... and the general public buy the non turbo varients...


how many of them drove scoobys before a certain gentleman won loads of rallys and made it famous...


bet they couldnt wait to get down the pub and remark on its farming pedigree!!!!!

i dont care what level of trim engine or drive system it has,, if its a subaru it gets a wave..
