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.
There's still hope in the world

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. 😎

Do you mean "it's often surreptitious" as in "it's often by stealth" OR "it's often fraudulent or misrepresentation" I have never heard the work surreptitious before - had to look it up haha

...yes, as in surreptitious by stealth, so that it's not too obvious ...even a little embarrassed, but often in a friendly, hope you'll notice kind of way.👍

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. I'm not a nutter. I'm a Loony.
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.".
