So I've had my Eunos for a few days and haven't stopped driving biggrin
I find something happening that I ain't seen since I was a wee lad hooning around in my mates Mini's(proper ones) Other mx5/Eunos owners give you a little wave/nod/doff of the cap.
Are there any other marques that get this?

Used to get a pop up of lights when I was in the MR2 from other owners. Used to get waves from other modified 4x4's in the states as well.

Yeah tonnes, lots with TVRs and classic cars although I don't get anything from citroen drivers, partially because they are old women or boy racers hehe

I've had it a few times from other ST Drivers.

I get annoyed when an ST Diesel gives me a nod. You are not worthy, ST Petrol only please. rofl

Im always scared of giving the nod first though, in case i look like a tt.

Impreza and Evo drivers do it to each other (although cross-brand waves generally have one or two fingers;) )

A lot of VX220 drivers do it, occasionally to Elises as well.

A surprising amount of Maserati drivers.

When the Z4 had just come out I remember my neighbour (who'd got one) exchanging waves.

I also give a friendly wave to anybody in something interesting on a "hoonable" country road - 9/10 times I get a wave back.

Always in my vx220, smart roadster, eunos and even our Mini ( we had an early bmw mini when they were rarer on the roads)

I would also imagine any rarer classic and lotus.

I can believe this, similar to the original Mini I mentioned.

I get the odd nod or wave (not a frantic, kiddie wave, just a hand up!) from other Skyline owners. Don't think I'll ever get one in the BMW though, unless if was maybe an M car

I would have thought the marques mentioned above would all get a nod though. Infact most enthusiast owned marques will

I'd say about 90% of the time in the Elise, 60% of the time in the Corrado, and 80% of the time in the B.

Any air cooled Porsche driver will give the wave or water cooled if it pre-dates a 996. Very complex rules for Porsche drivers and if you happen to drive a Boxster...just don't bother as nobody will respond!

I think (particularly classic) Land Rover drivers still do this.

Bus Drivers do it to one another...

I gave another Suzuki Ignis Sport a wave once... He looked confused.
