When I drove a Sunbeam Stiletto, I was always astonished at the total
lack of any greeting as members of the Imp family passed each other. I
gave up waving or flashing my lights. The one time a Singer Chamois
flashed me I was so surprised I didn't manage to return the gesture
until he was disappearing in my rear-view mirror. :-(
