Just back from Fraser Island, met Tonic and Tim (team pinzgauer) got a big wave from a defender, seriously outnumbered by double cabs and cruisers. Rescued one Suzuki vitare that was up to its bumpers in sand. Big wave on the way home south of Gympie, all is well in the world.

Great to meet you to mate.

Currently on a bit of a trip and haven't seen many defenders to wave at :mad:.

Melbourne to currently in Grafton and the only chance was 3 army Perenties just outside Shepparton and got a wave back from the boys dressed in the can't-see-me gear.

Since getting my TD5 130 a few months ago I've got 9/10 waves from other Deefers around the ACT. I'm going to put down the lone non-waver down to him not seeing me, just for piece of mind and ego. Had one particularly enthusiastic flash, wave & honk (the holy trinity?) from a grey 110 Puma C/C on Dryandra St one morning a little while ago, made my day.

So there seems to be a good "wave-culture" here in Canberra.

I've missed one or two potential waves from situations such as backing into a parking space, looking forward and seeing a Defender had passed while I was looking the other way. Still waved to see if they were looking back, feels like I'm letting the team down!

The S.O. and I were down the South Coast near Gerroa and Gerringong three weeks ago and I saw atleast 10 Deefers in a few days, too bad we were in her Honda CRV.

After a great day with LROC Bne to , easy forest day, yeah like an hour in Low 1 :D, running back to BNe 2 pumas, side by side, waving no response, :mad:

I got 8/8 waves from Defenders this weekend on a trip to Yadboro :)

It was overcast today, so visibility was a bit limited.
