You'd want to make damn sure you wave at this woman defender driver, for multiple reasons, some of which involve elaborate breakdown fantasies and road side fluid checks...
seriously though, I didn't used to wave at discos -not out of snobbery, but generally didn't get a response, and now with the amount of shopping trolley late models on the road, it's a war of attrition with me on the loosing side...
sometimes it is just so obviously not a 'landrover' driver behind the wheel, sometimes I wonder if some of them realise it is even a landrover at all.
on the other end, there was always plenty of series drives that wouldn't wave back to my defender. I think it may be a 'stratified' waving system, birds of a feather etc.
Ok back to **** stirring; Perhaps late model RR drivers do wave back by putting their nose further in the air...
Hi Andrew , Hope , I would have rememberd , if it had been Angelina Jolie . If I do see her , i'll give her a wave ...cheers jimr1...:D..Quote:

Get to Sydney and I had to help them buy a car, Spent all week driving around in the Defender shopping, (suprised they didnt shout , "hey youve got a Defender or something when I met them" ) turns out the "LAND ROVER" they drove in LA was a FL2 , Ended up buying a Kia & a Hyundai .
At the end of the week one of then moticed the badge on the back of the Defender and asked ........"why do I have a Land Rover badge on the back of my truck" .
... UN Believable :bangin:
and I'm not exagerating one bit !!!~
Classic.
well they can't be blamed, the way the luxury end has been marketed from the start, (changing the brand to 'Range Rover' back in the day) has always created a divide. It's quite silly really, I doubt it was ever more than some boring executive in an equally boring meeting deciding that one 'class' of people wouldn't want to be seen in farming vehicles. I don't see VW or mercedes or any others I can think of doing it, and they have the same utilitarian roots. Jeeps manage to churn out Jeeps and even play on it in the marketing these days (Oh, you bought a Jeep!), but 'Range Rovers' have been artificially segregated from the start.
Damn, and I thought I had a problem with comma's.Quote:

Solihill comma, <oil change pause here> anyone?
Solihill Comma (n), expletive , [1] a drop of oil hanging from any part of a Landrover [2] a drop of oil from a landrover on one's head.
