Default Impreza or Subaru?

The wave thing?

Is it an impreza thing or, is it a Subaru thing?

The Forester gets proper blanked when driving it around and no! its not just when I am driving it

or is the wave thing just old hat now anyway....?

I still wave, at all subarus, but I think a lot of people think it's old hat now as hardly anyone ever waves at me,

I wave at all Subaru's (and give a thumbs up to anything I think is cool!) but its rare that a Forester driver ever waves back at me.

Bloody miserable Forester drivers!

That's because what they get up to in their spare time makes their sight fail and he probably thought it was another Evo.....

Lots of Impreza drivers don't wave back as they don't seem to know what the Forester is!

I had proof of that with a local chap who waved when I was in the Impreza, not in the Forester. Bizarre!

I wave at both Imprezas and Fozzys. Well, most of the time. To be fair, there's a lot of old standard fozzys in the Sussex countryside driven by old duffers so i normally ignore them

If i saw a Fozzy STI it'd definitely get a wave

I've noticed there's a lot of older fozzy drivers (obviously not aimed at you pieman ) but I still wave, they just look at me like I'm nuts
