Do not dispare Rick. They don't wave at me in the work BT50 either. BUT, that doesn't stop me waving at them.

Defender waves is like the physical habit addiction from smoking then? You can give up the cigs but the hand motion keeps going..

I find the habit hard to break when driving other cars and bikes.

Sightings on my recent travels. New years eve, Nicoll Highway Singapore east bound 2 Puma 90 'vans' (no rear side windows) about three minutes apart, with winches and recover gear mounted externally and chunky tires. New Years day another Puma 90 (with rear side windows) also with winch and recovery gear. All had Singapore rego (non military). I lived in Singapore for a number of years and never saw a private 110, plenty of police and military ones in those days, you did see the odd Malaysian rego'd 110.

2 Jan about 10 kms south of the old Clark US airbase on the Northern Luzon Expressway (Philippines) a dark green Puma 110 parked at Burger King. Also spotted a couple of Disco 3's and an older Ranger Rover in Manila, a large Land Rover Bill Board with the new disco on it too.

This morning in North Richmond a red 110 with white roof (tdi or Td5) towing a trailer but too far ahead for a wave.

Just back from visiting old friends and family on the central coast NSW...
"The wave, is very much alive and well"
90% hit rate.

I know I'm now in a D4,,, but I still love Defenders, and still wave.
Followed a blue/black roof TD5 homewards yesterday down the South Gippy hwy. Nice looking, sounding touring type rig,, very tough looking as you'd expect . He seemed to pay no attention to me following him, we even pulled beside each other at lights,,,, not even a glance my way
Today I went home early somewhat crook, and on the way back in to pick up the better half, low and behold, out he comes from Greens road across in front of me,,, so I waved,,, hehe, he waved back,,,, success

I pass and exchange waves with a nice maroon 130 puma dual cab on Glenfern or Dorset rd most mornings on the way to work, anyone on here?
Its makes my day every time

I also had a wave from a nice looking silver 90 with custom plates on Glenfern rd as well the other day..

Im in a dark green 110 Td5

That's not because of the BT-50.
