Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

I am thinking of practicing my wave so if anyone on the north side of Brisbane, mainly between Caboolture and Chermside, see a nutter in a silver 4x2 single cab navara (90's nugget model) waving it's just me. I have my SIII on the road yet.

Got a wave from a very clean HJ45 'Cruiser (old tray back) as I was heading along the Barton Hwy to Murrumbateman yesterday.

Without thinking I also waved to a really nice mid/late 50's Willys ute in Murrumbateman. He did have a puzzled look but waved back.
Old habits die hard, my first car was a Jeep back in the eighties, Dad had Jeeps in the seventies and eighties and so I was giving the Jeep wave long before I even contemplated buying a Landy.

No waves but I was at BBQ's galore in Cannington today filling up gas bottles and as I got back in the 90 a couple of guys came out the shop and started talking about how great those old Defenders were.

Then before I left a guy drove past in a dual cab ute (not a Defender) and gave a big thumbs up and g'day.

I waved at a white Defender near Australia Zoo recently, forgetting that I was actually in the Mazda. He looked puzzled, but he did wave, so well done you.

That's the place to go for a wave, so i'm told. I've only been there once but got several.

Test Driving two customers Defenders the other day, got one wave from a guy on a push bike and the second wave from another Defender owner (my dad) coming the other way!

With our daily drive into South Brisbane of late we see lots more defenders than around our rural home. Nice RED 110 on the freeway, we even had matching plates. well sort off coming home and a Red County? heading north as well Smile factor working well

Not many Defenders on the road in Melbourne, not that We see anyway, but when We're out & about in Gracie, if we do encounter another Defender, and they see us, we normally receive a wave.
Of course, Wifey & I always wave!!
