Etiquette of the wave was created by Scimike

When not in my Jimny my other drive is a Series 2 Land Rover. Now unwritten Landy etiquette states that as we pass another Series, 90 or Defender we wave at each other in mutual admiration. It also provides a mental marker of potential near by assistance, as its likely one of us will break down shortly after passing. :laugh:
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):whistle:
Just wondering what you would do. Me - I'll keep being a waving idiot unless I have the Etiquette wrong.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

I wave at pretty much everyone I see driving a Jimny, and usually they are little old ladies who return a very blank look. But I always get a wave back if the other Jimny is also modified.

I usually give an index finger off the wheel as recognition of another Jimny. Farmer style!
