why do i get more waves from ....

[bigdavie]

classic owners than bugeye / blobeye/newage owners ??? is it a class thing that i dont know about lmfao ??? also what was the most powerfull scoob ever ?? cheers

[dipsy]

I wave to classic owner's was a classic owner  myself  have a newage scoob now and no wave or nothing when you put your hand up to classic or newage or blobeye owners

[wrxmania]

More newage cars are driven by non-enthusiasts, quite a few as company cars, seen them towing caravans, full of kids etc.  I am much more likely to get a wave from a classic turbo or a newage STI than say a bugeye/blobeye WRX. 

Anyone else find this?

Whenever i see a scoob i always wave, however round where i stay more and more scoobs are driven by neds and i tend not to wave at them .

I wave to classics, but normally get an odd look back most of the time.. Different when I used to own a classic though, used to get waves all the time []

[bigdavie]

only reason i say is cos i went a wee run the day seein as it was so nice ended up down at girvan and waved to about 20 odd scoobs and got 3 waves back !!! one from a guy wi the exact same year colour model as me lol !! just found it strange as up here every single one i wave at i always get a wave or a toot or a flash of the lights  !! but not today wi all the newer motors !

[G.T.]

i wave to every scoob i see get the few odd looks though but what the hell

[lescazscoob]

i have noticed the same in glenrothes area the classic scoobs all wave whereas the newage and bugeye never really do unless i have spoken to them at petrol station/carparks. i dont care i wave whenever i see a scoob.

Try and wave to all scoobs and I gotta say I think the scooby wave is on the decline [] I always find as a newage owner I tend to not be waved at though, but trust me I do wave at classics.

same where i stay lots of scoobs here a few driven by

d!ckh3ads (mostly younger guys) , one guy in a WRX came tearing up my

ar$e the other day trying to get my to go for it , 20 mins later i saw

him in a texaco garage filling up with plain unleaded was gonna tell

him about optimax but decided against it...one less chav to worry about in the future

[gus the bus]

I wave to everybody! Although I have to say I get more waves from newage TBH[] .....and like GT sometimes get funny looks but heh there loss no mine[]

[frank c]

I still wave to every scoob i see but it is on the decline ...Don't get many people waving back.....[]

[p1ggm]

i am normally looking at the road rather than the driver[]

and most of the time i am looking at scoobs thinking thats nice, then realise the driver is waving and by the time my hand is off the wheels its away past, since driving the astra i have seen loads, was up in aberdeen last week and seen quite a few, but no point in waving in the astra[]

 

i also find mini owners are the same, i reallt need to row a spare arm and hand as i own a mini too (classic mini, not the gay one)

i went from glasgow to beith and passed 4 scoobs yesterday of varying age. NOW WAVES

I then went from beith to glasgow and passed 6 of varying age. NO WAVES

Maybe they didnt realise the blue thing coming towards them reading SCOOB was a subaru

[dipsy]

Got a few waves and a flash of the lights to day makes a change from newage driver's

[RA Dunk]

got a wave from a classic today as well  going into ellon, first

time in 10 months of owenership i been waved at from a srtanger!![]

[oobster]

I'm always waving @ fellow scooby owners, mostly find that it's the classics who don't wave back.

Spotted a nice bugeye STI @ braehead yesterday, parked-up. It was that shade that looks black but when the sun hits it, it's like a dark metallic blue. Was an 02-plate. Anyone on here?

[iain_ogston]

I wave at all scoobs!!  Yesterday I went on a 900Km drive around Scotland to put miles on my new engine.  Saw about 10 scoobs, 5 waved 5 didn't.  Also saw two other SIDC cars at Shell stations.

Particular thanks to the blue newage on the A9 around 3:30pm who flashed his morettes and waved at my dog old red classic!!  This is unusual since most new age drivers in my area are not enthusiasts (with obvious exceptions). Most of the enthusiasts in my area I see regularily have modified classics.

[derek_pettigrew]

I Always wave been driving a bugeye scooby for about six weeks now and my wife is dead against the waving to strangers thing. She reasons I never waved to Volvo drivers when i had an S40.  Ive tried explaining the difference but she just doesent get it.  Anyway I intend to continue waving to all Scoobs inspite of or perhaps because of my wifes scorn.

Got blanked by a green classic in Falkirk today - baseball cap on and stared at me like I was an alien...but did get a wave from a Blue New Age (04 plate IIRC) with flaps just outside Alexanders Buses in Camelon []

"Got blanked by a green classic in Falkirk today - baseball cap on and stared at me like I was an alien"

brian,

a mental image of sharon came into my head there  []

i'll need to be more observant to passing traffic now,

i got a stern "a small wave, nod or flash of lights will do.... no need

to take both hands off wheel and hail them back frantically"

wagging-of-finger-type-lecture from the squirrel yesterday when i

spotted a bug eye behind me on the M8 and was busy trying to ID bits of

the car instead of looking at the road ahead [:$]

Loads of 'em around Aberdeen - a mix of wavers adn non wavers - I wave to most - but  I am sorry to confess that I  realised the other day that I'm a bit of a snob, and don't  wave to non-turbo's - but then again, I've every reason to think that they won;t wave to me, cause I've never had one wave to me first!  Does it make me a bad person to prefer fellow turbos - esp Blue new ages? 

anyway - I have  noticed that certain cars wave more than others, and invariably men wave more than women.  In fact, I don't think I have EVER been waved back from a woman.

1 fellow STIs - any age - wave most

2.  then WRX Ssaloons - any age

3.  then WRX Estate - although the older ones are probably more likely than the younger

4. non turbo - never waive

5.  women driving any of the above never wave

Must admit since i've owned mine i've tried flashing the lights/waving

(well more a lifting of a couple of fingers off the steering wheel lol)

at numerous Scoobs in Aberdeen and got no response whatsoever, i'll

keep on trying though ! Closest i got was being let out of Wellington

Place onto College Street a couple of Saturday's back by a superb

looking white classic, think it was a wrx sti, blue mudflaps (or might

have been red, christ my memory is getting worse) and tints.
