Where's the Defender wave gone?

**Disco Muppet** · 22nd August 2016, 09:02 AM

I got a wave from a D1 towing a caravan across the Hay plains yesterday.
The Defender with QLD plates and RFSV style mirrors I followed turned off before I could wave.

2 white 130"s coming home from work on Sunday

1 waved, the other I passed on the gateway and waved to but couldn't see if he waved back

Out and about in the 101 on the weekend, we will see who waves to us

As it should be.
One of the things I loved the most about cruising through SA was all the friendly waves from all and sundry. 4X4's, cars with campers, caravans, was great. Even got one each from young Mr and MRS Tombie

This afternoon on Southern Cross Drive, going to work, exchanged greetings with a dark red,(Dare I say Maroon? That sent my blood cold.

) Extreme. On the way back 40 Minutes later almost in the same spot ,shared a wave with a back with Black with Pack Puma.

Gave the two finger steering wheel wave whilst I pulled over and on the phone to a black 90 headed into Samford between 1:00pm and 2:00pm on Samford Rd. Anybody on here? Driver had a puzzled look, possibly because I was in my old Navara ute towing my builder's trailer.

I gave a wave to a black 110 heading into Lane Cove Tunnel as I was coming out yesterday. My wife ask me who I was waving at, I told her the Defender, she said "but you're not in a Defender" I said yeah but it's a Land Rover wave. She just rolled her eyes at me.

Cheers, Babs

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

I go a full wave, arm out the window if it's not to cold!
I think it's just fun. Shared amongst like minded vehicle owners. I really don't need to hang a tag on it. That's looking a bit to deep for my thinking. It makes me and mine smile and maybe brightens someone else's day.
I was driving into Seymour yesterday taking my boss to Toyota and waved at a nice Defender heading to Puckapunyal. My boss had a good chuckle and said 'I don't get waves in the Hi-Lux' I just gave him that 'go figure' look haha.
I wave at all series and Defenders, any Boxy Landrover really. I don't tend to wave at other models. It's not to be rude. I really like Discoverys it's just, to me anyway, a Defender/Series wave.
