Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

The Landy wave must have become a natural reflex...
A few weeks ago my fiancee told me I was a goose for waving at a Defender. Then I realised what she meant.
I was driving her Ford Falcon at the time!

Haha Jim, I have been shut down here.

Let me get out my 'Men in Black' memory eraser, "now, just look at the red dot" -*click*, I was never here..

I have been driving Defender's for over 30 years in Aus and 10 years before that in Scotland, With the WAVE .And I also agree that the WAVE is not as prominent in the younger owners, You can't drive a Defender without the WAVE it's just not good. You can not be a true Defender owner whith out the WAVE.

Need to get some of these stickers over here:

after reading all these comments, my question is; is my wave welcome coming from a disco driver? ya'll dont seem to like disco's

p.s. i love waving to fellow branded vehicles and im from the younger generation still...at 25...aren't i?

I'm from Victoria and I always wave, if I think they won't see it I always throw my arm out the window! It's a habit that dates back from being a kid in landies so I almost try it as I buzz past them on my motorbike by accident!!!

I'm also in the younger gen being 25

When it comes to waving, I'm a Defender snob and proud of it (the title of thread is, after all, 'The Defender Wave').

Naughty naughty, a 90 did not wave to me the Thursday night on Herring Rd North Ryde, the disappointing factor was she (Girl driver) almost ran into me as she turned into the roundabout Here I am waving away, she did not even recognise I was a Deefer
