Ok today was an odd one guys. Was driving home from Bunnings, and a Jeep driver smiled and nodded as he passed. He had a propper Jeep (don't know models) I think it was like this:

Haven't come across this before, I thought all Jeep drivers where city slickers that didn't get their toys dirty.
I think you'll find they're just as dedicated (and nutty) as us.Quote:

He was also in a short wheel base (2 door) so maybe he was admiring... or maybe he is just a nutter like us.
The nod of deference 😉 I've noticed it more often as the end of production looms, it's often surreptitious, from the drivers of hilux, people movers and family suv's especially. Not often from jeep peeps though, nice one. 😎Quote:

Pardon my ignorance. Makes sense now. I'm a music teacher, not an english teachera. lol.
..If only I could play music. ...lol! What instrument do you play?
Excuse me!!! I take offence at being called a nutter. :mad: I'm not a nutter. I'm a Loony. :eek:
I've had a few of those nods. From Jeeps, Cruisers and Nissans in particular. I never considered them to be surreptitious. I took them to be a mark of genuine admiration, especially after one Patrol driver wound down his window and yelled, "Great car you've got there Mate.".
Sorry MrLandy I thought you meant, in a sarcastic way. I should have read your explanation to debruiser.
Cheers, Billy.
