Remember mx5 drivers doing a similar thing, flashing their lights.

Never took part myself mind, I'd be a bit confused if I got the horn or flashed for no reason.

Awaits someone to take my last sentence out of context :P

If the thumbs up doesnt produce a response, I find the middle finger usually does. :y :D ;D

I always wave (well hold a hand up) at other migs. Quite a few local I see regularly have taken to waving back. I even had a wave from a very rattly silver V6 facelift estate at a set of lights in Lincoln. He was off like a whippet before I had change to tell him to buy some lifter treatment ;D ;D
