You can get some waving, or some don't at all, just luck of the draw, don't worry to much though, I used to get worked up thinking how rude, but then a few times I'm in a dream world and miss and its too late.

I used to get waves whilst driving my smart car to. So all good.

Its doesn't cost to be pleasant.

I will always acknowledge another fellow scooby driver with a wave/nod or flash of headlights

It's cool to be in a gang

I would say most scooby drivers wave back the one ones I've found who haven't are the new hatchback drivers. Could be wrong but not had a wave back yet, not sure why?

I wave, but since I swapped the scoop for a reverse heat vent people don't notice me as much.

Not had any waves or flashes from scoob drivers, but then again ive only been in direct site of two Imps since I got my own.

Evos on the other hand - one reved the nuts off whilst sitting behind me at lights, I politely responded with a dab of my own go faster pedal.

The other evo pulled up along side me in traffic and we exchanged thumbs up and a few exhaust tests.

So far the Evo drivers seem to be the more friendly / aware.

Any one in the west london (Ealing) area with a scoob?

I bought my 1st scoob in 2004 & as i was driving back home the 1st scoob i saw flashed at me. At first I was wondering why he done that, maybe my bumper has fallen off . Then i realised why & flashed back!

I usually wave at other scooby drivers, it's hit or miss really weather they repay the gesture.

I wave if I notice! Waved at a classic and got nothing back today, looked to see who was driving as he went past, and it was a chav wearing a baseball cap... Obviously thought he was too cool to wave back.
