Okay. I've had mine for a couple of weeks now, and there is definately a click with fellow Subaru Impreza drivers, i.e. a quick wave as you pass one going in the opposite direction. I used to get this when I had the Lancia Delta and the Alfa to some degree.

A while back, whilst out with a friend in his WRX, a guy in a classic waved but my friend did not return the gesture, stating the other guy wasn't in the same club as him and was a wannabee (bit of snob by the sounds of it to be polite!!). Yet I have been waved at by WRZ's, STi's etc so I'm assuming that anything goes.

Is there a 'click' or was my mate just being an ****??

Is there any club etiquette I should be aware of?

Whatever, love being in the club. Saw quite a few over The Cat and Fiddle today.

urdad

I flash at any oppotunity(crap spelling) and when I get a car ...who's nose...
It happens a lot,it's belonging to a click,mini's do it,beetlers do it,damn I didn't understand that when I was learning to drive and a m8 had a beetle..

Solly

****!

I flashed an 06 plate Sti only yesterday and he completly ignored me!
Bit disheartening when that happens.

I also find some classic shapes are a bit tight with there waves!
(should i of said that)

classic Subaru Si

Oh yeah, you do get the odd misery ****, you have to pretend your waving at someone else if that happens, and slowly slide down your seat!!!

When i had the bugeye i found that it was mainly newage cars that waved and classics didnt, now ive gone back to a classic it seems SOME newage drivers dont bother waving they give a look of snobbery..

Lemster

Probably because they bought the car to get off their drive in winter rather than buying an icon!

Also live in world bewildered by all those Sub's waving at them like they are their best buddie!

alpha charlie

I saw plenty on friday and exchanged waves with all but one, the driver of that one was a uniformed member of Lincolnshire Police and whilst he didnt wave at me he certainly looked at me and the car!!

Yeah often see Lincs/Humberside old bill , cant resist a wave tho , some times get a nod or a hand up back, the Mrs just slides down into the footwell (while your down there babe )

jmckella

I feel a total Tw@t now, as I've had mine for nearly three years and never knew there was a wave, to be fair tho, the only other scoob owners who have waved to me have been mates. I'll start the trend around here tomorrow !!

my lass says we are all sad ******* for waving
also get the odd wave flash from evo drivers too

Gilesdwrc

Hardly anyone waves to me, maybe it's cos I drive a sport? I wave at people but no-one waves back. or maybe its cos I live in plymouth?

DYK

you lucky bugger,getting her to slide down like that.

Elmer Fudpucker

I never ever ever wave..thought it was only the rally jacket wearing brigade that did that sort of thing

Solly

Yeah i'd never wave to a sport!
I live in Plymouth and most do wave.
Whereabouts in Plymouth do live?

My g/f just laughs at me. But i just tell her shes jealous cause she drives a vauxhall!

DYK

think everyone gets blanked now and then,it does make you feel a bit of a tw@t when you dont get the wave back..when i first got a scoob,i used to have cars beep at me while sitting at traffic lights,and im thinking WTF is that all about why are they waving and beeping..sometimes even now when i see another scoob,i think should i wave or not,what if i get blanked.but who cares,just wave and pretend your scratching the side of your head or something if ya dont get the wave back..

Lemster

I do the raise of a finger, and if no response then pretend your tapping to some music!

klidder

lol Classic ^^^^^^

The one with the sport probably dont get it coz he aint got a bonnet scoop? Just a suggestion because people might not know it's a scooby.

jayb1970

I find that all scoob drivers in my area will give a wave and as someone else said most evo drivers too. The only ones that don't wave back are the P1 drivers, there is 2 or 3 around here and they all look at me like a complete loon for waving at them. Needless to say I don't even bother to look at them now, only in the rearview mirror when I've smoked him

Monkeydile

I've had my scoob for just over 2 years now. For the most part everyone seems to wave back but recently I've noticed a few that haven't

My missus thought it was stupid but now she's a member of the WYIOC she seems to appreciate it Although, i think she still finds it a little amusing

moff1888

I generally wave to all Scoobs, I have been known to just catch them as they are passing so by the time i notice its too late.

I would just like to take this moment to say sorry to those affected by my lack of Scooby recognition. I now have my missus as my co-driver and chief spotter.
