Unhappy

Why are there so many boring impreza drivers in Nottingham. Sat next to a N plate import WRX on the A52 today and the bloke wouldn't even look at me !!!! And most of the other drivers check to see if they have left their fogs on when I flash. ( 'cept Mikey )

Always flash or wave back but i've given up with the 5 doors, most of the drivers are older than me (and that takes some doing these days!) and they don't have a clue whats going on when you flash em!

Not all 5 door drivers are that old, and I certainly flash/wave at any scooby drivers I see. DBM WRX (MY94)

If I see another Scooby, I always wave or flash. Sometimes they wave back, sometimes they don't. If I don't wave back, it means I haven't seen ya.

Thumbs down

Les Miserable barsteward, Not u Dave, the bloke at the pump

Anyways, I'm quite happy with my returned wave rate, must be about 75% success rate.

You gotta wave bigger and then people feel compelled to wave back. If they stare ahead, Inch forward a tad, beep ya horn, wind ya window down and shout.....Trust me it's funny, especially the "olds" in thier 5 doors, they rock especially when you make 'em jump

Mikey

Haven't seen ya for a while Daves' (Both of you)

Hey,

you want to come to East Anglia ... they're all a miserable bunch of bwastards too ... too many oldies in wagons doesn't help .... and it's not because there aren't any scoobs ... cos there are loads ... but I've given up waving and acknowledging other scoob drivers cos they don't wave back ...

in the year I've had my scoob ... only one other driver has waved at me ... and that was on the way to the Watford meet the other week ....

Not to sure about flashing lights as this is too often misconstrued by whoever you are driving behind
