Default I always feel a bit guilty when...

Someone else in a scooby drives past me on the other side of the road and waves, and I don't see them in time to wave back!

They must think i'm a right ignorant git!!

I share your feeling. Always feel bad if I miss a wave! And there was me thinking I was the only sado that cared!

Buy a pink pair of rubber gloves from supermarket.

Throw away left glove.

Fill right glove with cotton wool until fingers & thumb look real.

Insert wire in thumb so it remains in upright position.

Duct tape to top of steering wheel and leave it there.

I had my own special 'scooby wave' ready.

1. Hand resting lightly on steering wheel
2. Spot scooby
3. Raise up hand in friendly wave
4. if ignored, bring hand down
5. Pretend you were drumming or tapping to the music
6. Mutter "bellend " or " miserable git "


Second version

1. Spot scooby
2. bring up hand for the wave
3. Get ignored or looked at strangely
4. Swivel hand around and drop a few fingers whilst making a raspberry sound
5. Mutter "******"

I normally flash as i see another scooby coming towards me because ;
1. They are normally moving quite quickly - and no time to wave.
2.The bonnet scoop can be seen a fair distance away,although i have had a few strange looks of a few toyota owners when i've flashed them thinking they were forresters .lol

i drive a 99 classic and ALWAYS get waved at by other classics but NEVER by a bugeye or hawkeye i always think that they think we "classic drivers" are not worthy of their wave because they have a "better car" lol i chose the classic over the bugeye coz i think they look harder like they gonna rip your head off while the bugeye, alough fast just looks a bit soft to me a classic is like meeting mike tyson in a dark alley way, and a bugeye is like meeting norris from corrie in a dark alley way this is just my opinion of course lol and here is my wave for all the bugeyes ive waved at over time and completely ignored me

i was'nt having a go at classics BTW, its just something i noticed, used to get wave all the time but i think is due to cheaper classics being bought by 'non-enthusiasts' who have prob never heard of scoobynet

I past lives i have owned both a Suzuki SJ410 and a Honda CRX (original shape). Both sets of owners have waved. Also during the big petrol blockades 10 years ago I borrowed my mates MR2 (early wedge shape) because he was away on holiday in America and my car was running on empty and I knew his car was full of fuel. Lucky I have a set of keys to his house!! The MR2 drivers also wave!!


ps Fuel supplies were back in locally a few days later and I was able fill up both cars (and the Mrs's Fiesta as I'd used up all the fuel in that too!)

perhaps you should try a slightly less evocative greeting...would you still blow her a kiss if there was a bloke in the passenger seat?

she probably goes home every night to her fella and says something like "that pervert blew kisses at me again...what a d!ck!"
