Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

I think maybe this thread has veered off-course somewhat!

Can we please get back to the original subject - The Defender Wave

Nah, I'm enjoying this.

Ok.
I had a 100% success rate with waves coming back from the south coast earlier this week. And, thanks to AULRO, I knew half of the people I waved to as well! (admittedly Mulgo's 130 is rather noticeable - even at 90k's on a multi lane highway).

Does that mean you have 2 heads?


Sorry back on subject;

When overtaking, or being overtaken by a Landrover I attempt the sideways wave.

What is the correct waving technique in this situation?

No. Its that I used to be schizophrenic; and so was I.

Mayhem, confusion and offence. My job here is done.

Went for a look at camping spot about 40k's north of Gloucester NSW, about a 400k return trip.

Passed 5 D'fer - waved to all - 5 returned the wave - 100% success...It was good day indeed.

They know not the true pain behind 'the wave'.

As I read this my eyes rolled so far up into my head that they've gone all the way around and now I have a headache.. which I am holding you personally responsible for.. *nods*..

Seriously of course women drive Defenders.. and why wouldn't we? I chose to own a Defender because I am like so many of you (men and women) who are Landy enthusiasts.. yes my Landy has working aircon (if you could call the pitiful amount of coolish air that radiates from the small vents air con) and yes it drops oil (about to go back to have the rear pinion seal replaced for the third time in as many months) and yes she leaks on occasion.. but I love her anyways..

and no contrary to popular belief I don't keep her on the black top and I didn't buy it to 'look cool' while taking kids to school and shopping etc, I bought it for 4WDing (the scratches and torn mud flap etc is proof of that) and for use as a tow vehicle..

(If I were saying this outloud, my voice would be fluctuating a lot, and cocking my head in the sort of ****ed-of-Puerto-Rican-woman side-to-side motion.)...

and yes I wave.. and will proudly continue to do so.. (whether you wave back or not)..
