Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

Went for my first drive in my 90 earlier (just attached the number plates this morning!), and passed another Defender - we gave each other a nod and a wave

Welcome to the club.

well and truly alive and well over here in Zambia...

Nah , it's still alive and well.

Waved at a 130 heading the other way , across 3 lanes of traffic and a huge median strip this arvo.
We were in the very hot/warm County heading south on the Princes just after Traralgon.

The wife said " Who was that "

" Another Defender/County owner " I said

"Do you know them "

" I don't have to " I qualified

This must be the official Nissan view, I have herd this several times. Must be tuff believing you have the best 4x4 and non of your mates have any soul.

It's not just the wave, how often have you been approached by a total stranger who asks "is that your landy" as you stand next to it. You reply yeh, and within seconds you have an old mate to talk to for hours.

I too always wave, has taken my wife a while to understand, but when she was driving and a fellow fender driver waved at here one day she changed here ways , even my little bloke spots from his booster seat just incase i'm busy doing something else like snoozing at the wheel
which i can assure you doesnt happen often

cheers

Always try to get a wave in!

Aaaah......takes me back when I/we (girlfriend/wife) owned a trusty ol' series III 'shorty' and the waves, I think the cook got more of a buzz out of the wave than I did.

Now, do I tell my daughter, she's buying a 90, about the wave or let her find out and wonder what's with the wave?
