It's lucky we all agree with you.

That's "FIG JAM" isn't it?

So - in my mind - the "Defender Wave" is really a "Land Rover" wave and includes all the Series and the Defenders!

I remember early on a Discovery gave me a wave, which I reciprocated!

The amount of Disco's and Range Rovers that pass me without a wave suggests they are not interested in waving at Defenders.

The Defender wave is actually entirely egalitarian, as long as you drive a Defender. That's why it's called the Defender wave.

The Land Rover wave is something else and clearly has less of a cult following.

Defender drivers sometimes enjoy a wave with drivers of other Land Rover marques, out of sympathy that they don't drive a Defender 😝

Disco, RR, etc Land Rover drivers sometimes enjoy a wave with Defender drivers, out of sympathy for the fact that they're driving a Defender. 😝

It's simple, it's free, it's fun, it's not compulsory, it's friendly, it's camaraderie like nothing else, it's either something non-Defender drivers wish they had, or something they think is daggy, ...but it is most definately a Defender wave and if that makes it eliteist so be it. But I don't think it's elitist. It's just specific to Defender, because Defender has a unique character all its own (which by the way has just ended production for ever).

Cheers all 😊👍

The wave as such seems to vary from 2 fingers lifted off the wheel to arm and head out the window madly waving making sure your seen.

I tend to go with raised hand off the wheel unless I personally know the person.

Absolutely. You just don't know it yet.

It's a Landy Wave in general.
I acknowledge all Landies as we pass and have done from day one..
