Saw one yesterday,with those factory white wheels,lunchbox hanging off the side,wasn’t really a pleasure for the eyes.

They look so much better with alloys,and have some really nice colours,there is a bronze sort of coloured one in the yard at the local dealer,looks fantastic.

The D300 mustn’t be far away,or it’s here,there are a few on car sales with it.

I thought Light Flashes were reserved for "RADAR AHEAD". I guess you'll know in a couple of weeks Cuppa.

The radars are well and truly on my radar.

07:50 today; Holden St Ashfield NSW. Got a brotherly light flash from a subtly trick 90, a beautiful Maroon BlackPack: Rego 90.DFR, a very cool plate. He kindly allowed me into the traffic stream.
If said owner is on here I'd like to say, thank you very much and could you please advise what those snazzy fob hinges that hold the windscreen frame on are, what they're made of and where you got them.

This avo I had a driver of a Jeep Wrangler wave to me. I don't know anyone that drives a Jeep, and given my Defender is NSW RFS Orange, with a Red-Dot AC unit on the roof, and a carry me camper box covered in solar panels - it cannot be mistaken for any other vehicle. It's unique.

So many questions ...

Do wrangler drivers wave to each other? and the driver thought I was a wrangler?

Do they just wish they had a defender?

Is there confusion in the community about the tribal laws of Defender ownership?

Most of my driving life has been in a VW Kombi, or a Defender - both of which have very strong 'waving' cultures ... but I've never had a wave from another brand. Confused.

I've exchanged numerous waves with Defender drivers recently.
Do drivers of new Defenders also wave?

I got a wave from a Ford Falcon on the weekend! I was in my Td5 Ute..

The Driver may have been on the way to see their Ophthalmologist tr.[bigrolf]

I suspect those driving on 22" alloy wheels shod with Pirellis won't.

However, those driving on 18" steel wheels with Duratrac tyres probably will.
