We dont wave at "posh" Land Rovers or Chelsea tractors, they need to have a "farm fresh" look about them to join the wave club.
So whats the etiquette with the Jimny?
You dont see that many in my neck of the woods, and the one I passed failed to acknowledge the waving idiot in the other Jimny (me)
Just wondering what you would do. Me - I'll keep being a waving idiot unless I have the Etiquette wrong.

Even the old ladies smiled and waved back.
Jimnys get the greeting as well, but I still haven't gotten a reply other than the blank look. (Except for my ex-neighbour)

I had someone in a Jimny around Tewkesbury wave at me the other week - I was slightly gobsmacked being a total noob on the Jimny scene, but I did wave back!
I'm pleased as punch that some Jimny owners are doing this and will promote it enthusiastically
A word of caution however - some years ago I was driving through a built-up somewhere-or-other in my MG Midget.
Another MG coming in the opposite direction flashed its lights and waved enthusiastically. I reciprocated with the usual flash of lights back and a cool thumbs up, but was horrified to have someone pull out of a side turning thinking that my flash of lights was a message for them to go ahead and pull out, and I almost T-boned their car even though I had the right of way.
IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
