Where's the Defender wave gone?

I was having fun going through puddles as well! I try to blame it on the kids but going through them is a lot of fun.

Also I highly recommend the Finn products. I have an Endorphin and a Gizmo. Did the Avon Descent a few years back on the Endorphin but what I like about Finn is the fact they are local and will go out of their way to help you.

I always wave. As for Pumas they seem as keen as any one. I once copped a wave from a Puma which turned into a single digit because I didn't get my arm out in time. I was devastated.

The Endorphin and the Gizmo were the two we were hoping to try lol. We're looking for something we can use in the city instead of lugging our 34kg fishing kayaks around. We have their carriers for our yaks and they're brilliant.

Driving home today my son and I got a big wave from a mum and her kids in a Keswick green 110 in North Fremantle.

Heading out of Melbourne on the Calder Hwy last night, saw two 110's heading towards Melb in convoy...one grey and one white with many stickers / logos all over. It was getting dark so I couldn't quite make them out and at freeway speeds on divided rd the wave can be difficult to see...I waved and flashed my lights, but no light flash in return.

...what's the solution to the Landy wave at speed or at dusk? Any thoughts?

I bought an old Perentie about 2 weeks ago, and was really confused by all the waving!
I had a mate in the car last weekend and he noticed I was getting lots of waves too. We laughed about how popular I am now.
I started just waving back, but the other day I locked eyes with a fellow defender driver at the servo and waved unceasingly until he returned the wave!
I didn't know about the rule but am definitely onboard with this!

I wave at lots of people on my morning commute with no wave back. Then again, I commute on a bike so probably just look like a crazy person.

Had a red 110 with a white roof go past us on the Tonkin Hwy today - big waves all round.

Their bumper sticker said "This Landrover contains nuts"

I want one of them!!!!

Betty was at the dealer for 3weeks having her ABS sorted. I was given a Jaguar XF loan. Kept waiving, most thought I was stupid, some endured my enthusiasm and waived back yet everyone looked at me confused. - Betty is back all is OK a now.

Sometimes I'm in my wife's car (Corolla) and I see a Defender, the urge to wave is so strong but then I think to myself it will just be confusing for the Defender driver. Makes me think we may need a "secret" wave so when not in a Defender, others will know I'm in the "club".

For the record, I always wave (when in the Defer) and would say more than 98% wave back.
