Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

Thanks Carl, I'm totally relaxed and enjoying the banter. Sounds like you find it antagonistic that I drive a Defender and not a Discovery. Hmm. Oh well. Vive Le differance. Best wishes.

It really has nothing to do with the type of car you drive. I take exception at someone who would suggest that anyone who waves in their Land Rover is some sort of snob who expects a wave in return. It is a fun thing to do. It creates camaraderie and and a sense of mateship. If you don't want people waving at you, go and buy a Toyota. If you don't want to wave back then don't, I don't care, just don't hold it against people who do.

Well driving home from work a Black 130 in Jimboomba then I followed a Black 110 to the shops, white 130 waved to both of us, then of course parking rules applied at the shop Ahhh everything is right in this world ATM

Carl you're yotally missing my point mate.

I wave all the time to all sorts of vehicles and more than anything I enjoy the cameraderie of the Defender wave. That's why I'm engaging with this great thread called "where's the Defender wave gone?..."

My point is that when I wave I don't expect a wave back. If I receive a wave back that's even better, but I don't hold it against anyone who doesn't wave back. Waving is about giving, not receiving. True Mateship / Friendship is not based on the expectation of receiving. It's based on mutual unconditional giving.

Beautiful.

[QUOTE=MrLandy;2573340]Many would argue that the Defender wave itself is elitist.


Elitist????........ I think you'd have a tough time arguing that one!

...Theres no shortage of non-Defender drivers in this thread who rail against it being a Defender wave in the first place.

I must be an elitist. I only wave to Defender owners unless they wave to me first. I once got a wave from a lunatic in a Freelander by the time I realised it was Shortie in a loan car she was gone.
