I've owned a Bugeye WRX for roughly 3 months now and havent had a single wave or flash from any other scooby driver!

Got a black MY04 WRX, waved to sports and turbos, they all wave back, except this tit in exactly the same car as mine who I pass about 3 times per week, he completely blanks me.

Ex Classic Sport owner, now driving JDM Bugeye WRX.

I'll wave at any subaru (1992 legacy 1.8GL estate, etc) and if I really want a wave back...I'll flash my lights first

Not too fussed if don't get wave back, but it's always nice

Question Flashing hazard lights... Or flicking headlights

How often do you find that another scooby comes up behind you and you flash your hazards to acknowledge it...

But if you are the driver behind, do you give your headlights a quick flick???

Do that around our end and they think you want a race

Not many acknowledgements around here (New Forest) but when they wave it's definately more from classics opposed to new age.

Different story when driving my old MGB, 100% guaranteed smile and wave from other Bs.

I think it's more lkely that you'll find a tinkering enthusiast in a classic with a passion for the car, but many drivers buying new now are not, perhaps because it's their first scoob and theyre a bit of a middle class horsey type, aware of the custom.

No Impreza drivers ever acknoledge or respond if I wave from my Legacy.

Maybe I should make it look like this?

I always wave, no matter the model. I don't always get a wave back though, much to the amusement of my partner that probably thinks all the scooby waving is a little childish

Red face I was ignored again... my point exactly...

On the way to work this morning... what more could I do than flick my headlights and wave at a blue 'Sti' and a turquoise new shape!!!... in New Malden going towards Kingston...

I sometimes wonder if other Scooby drivers lack observation of their surroundings... this wasn't even in traffic...

Oh well...
