Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

The website says the meetings are bi-monthly alternating with committee meetings which are only open to club members. When I checked in the calendar it showed the next all of the monthly meetings as being open to members and non-members. If I wanted to come along and check it out which meeting would be the best one to come to? I won't be available in April.

Defender drivers must be nicer people than Discovery drivers. Since I have owned my D3 I have waved at all types of Landrovers and haven't got one single wave in return. Not one. Is this just Townsville? I miss the waves but I must admit the air suspension, awesome stereo, comfy seats, cold aircon and that beautiful burble out of those twin pipes from the V8 do sort of make up for it. Am I sounding snobby. I do still wave.

Well there's your problem; Discos are too comfortable! The defender wave stems from a sense of camaraderie of suffering

Maybe its not a wave , but a plea for help! A bit like "drowning , not waving".

That had me cracking up.

I see all Defender owners driving around like

I'm a new Puma driver and love the wave 😊 I even got a wave (and replied) on the West Gate when I took it for a test drive 👍.
I love the wave, let's keep it up!

Well today my dad and I were out collecting a gearbox in the mighty 130 Defender (I was driving), my dad waved to another Defender (Puma) driver.

I mentioned this thread and my dad said he always waves to other Defender owners and said they always wave back...

He then added "not like you, ya ignorant (so-n-so)"
He then went on a rant about all the rest of the discovery, range rover, jeep owners that are a bunch of ignorant (beeeep)....

He finished with....
"We dont need the rest of you lot"

I've noticed the wave is still alive in perth since I have picked up my new to me toy (1995 110).

Not only have I had defenders and disco's wave I have twice had another white 110 stop and let me into traffic on canning highway, I suspect it might be the same guy twice.

Thanks whoever you are.
