When I first lurked a few years ago I couldn't believe how many people were spotted.....

Now most posts go un-answered.

Sad ?

dunx

 

enthusiasts used to make up quite a few number of impreza owners especially sti and wrx owners pre UKDM sales and so were on here.
I remember the excitement at the first was it you that was me

 

Me too. Spotted by sarasquares of all people LOL

 

but you're ok now though yeah?
did you have to get your jabs?

 

LOL, fortunately she was on a bus so no actual contact occured

 

You are correct,i went away last weekend and had 5 or 6 waves,but nobody spotted me I would normally reply in 'Was It You' but i wasn't sure where i was

 

If you didn't reply to bob, the thread would close...

 

That's how Cumbrian scoobs started over nine years ago with 2/3 of us posting on the section and then forming our club
I would imagine most clubs formed that way

 

Could it be that we are all expecting a thread waiting for someone to say they saw us. However they are probably doing the exact same thing?
I never see any scoobs in London, are they a reserve for those who just live north of watford, or outside the m25 now??!

 

Yes, Duncan, the site gets worse as the months roll by.

There are problems in quite a few areas now, reported regularly, but the IB team are over in the USA, and apparently, they can't replicate it, so, rather than coming over HERE where 99% of the traffic is, they hide their heads in the sand. People get fed up and go elsewhere.

This is the ONLY BBS site I use that gets regular spam/advertsing: there seems to be one or more to report EVERY morning. I have asked for something to be done, but nothing is

When I joined, if you posted a query, you got help from knowledgeable people, but you might have to wait a day or so.
Now you get almost instant replies from Kev the Chav based on what he did to his RST

It's going downhill, fast, just as we said it would

And there is ONE of the problems "they" can't replicate. I used to delete every one that doubled: I no longer bother.

 

I'm in London!

I've seen 2 more in the last 2 months since I bought my 'proper' scoob (upgraded from a 2.0GX wagon to a hawkeye STI ) and have posted here, but neither replied.

I still enjoy the site and look at it daily, and am becoming more of a contributer than a lurker as I was. Hopefully the site will pick up again as I feel this forum is best laid out and easiest to view and use.

 

Come on guy's it's no that bad, I've only had my car for 12mnths and through this site i have gained some sound knowledge and have had the pleasure of meeting people like Dunx who are willing to take you for passenger rides so you can experience what they have achieved with their cars.

I see lots of people about but don't always bother to post in the "Was it you" section, maybe i will start now

 

The trouble is most people have their (if at all) SN stickers on the rear of their cars, so you don't know if they're on here or not... I wave at a few, posted on WIY also...usually with no reply

 

Let's face it this site and the whole Subaru scene was better in the early 2000's. The car then was a true icon whereas it is now just another car to most people and buyers (all 3 of them this year ).

Times change and people find something else to get interested in. Hey ho.

 

I've been spotted a few times on the local forums, never on here.

 

remember the scooby wave ? that is a thing of the past , i waved at a guy the other day and he looked at me as if i was a mental i still wave though because i am pretty radio rental

 

Scooby wave?

 

Kind of like a Mexican wave maybe???

 

In the 90's, Scoobs were so rare that if you were out in yours and saw another, you both waved/flashed the lights.

Doesn't happen any more.

 

53 plate STIs in blue killed the wave.
RIP wave

 

I get waves from every single new age Impreza that I drive past but not from the older "Barry'd" classics which I suppose are now being driven more and more often by Sir Chavalot (although not all are). I don't get waves from wagons though, it seems to be restricted to the saloons?
