I frequently find myself waving at Bongo drivers when I am driving my little 2003 Suzuki Ignis, which also happens to be a proper right hand drive vehicle built in Japan and not some eurocar minimally bodged for the UK market. I get some odd looks from doing this and one time was alongside at lights and wound the window down to explain.
My Bongo is waiting for me to get it back through the MoT test and back into use.
Although I can't take it inside London's new outer LEZ without a penalty, I look forward to future trips out into the countryside and waving to other Bongonauts without them wondering why!
We also have a Honda Stepwagon in the fleet which is an equally outstanding vehicle but not quite as iconic as the Bongo. We don't see enough others of those to have got into waving.
