Turned out they'd just taken delivery. At the lights while I waited for my turn a grey 110 turned onto my road. This one had personal plates. At the same time a Red TD5 with a white roof pulled up opposite me.

    Successful waves where exchanged all round.
    The 110 coming out of Southern LR about 430ish? I think that was me!! She's Corris Grey with the Black Pack... So purdy!
    My first Defender Wave, and I hadn't even made it down the road

    The wave in mandatory in The D'Fer. And there is more than a hint of regret if one is missed. Even the kids are in on it.

    It's also difficult stopping the wave reflex when I'm driving SWMBO's Merc.

    But I must admit that I've kept the wave exclusively Defender. Once I discriminated against a friendly Disco 1 driver...

    Does this make me a bad person?

Was it red and white (possibly with the spare tyre on the front of the bullbar)?
    Primarily white, maybe a splash of red, i was too gobsmacked at getting a very friendly wave from an Emergency vehicle, the logo on the door looked quite ornate.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Defender song

    I wonder if we could pinch this to complement the wave, i think its perfect


    When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
    And don't be afraid of the dark
    At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky
    And the sweet, silver song of a lark

    Walk on through the wind
    Walk on through the rain
    Though your dreams be tossed and blown

    Walk on, walk on
    With hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone
    You'll never walk alone

    Walk on, walk on
    With hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone
    You'll never walk alone
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Does the wave count for Series owners? After all they are the parents of the Defenders.

    Of course it does! Series one through to RR Autobiography and Signature. You'll all get a wave from my lot!

    Surely we would wave at all of the Series and Defenders as one - I would definitely wave.

    I waved at an early Land Rover Series in Richmond on Monday and got a wave back! Sorry I don't know my Series - but it was sand coloured, like a 90 with no roof or sides, no windscreen or windows and a split rear door - such a cool car. Obviously been shopping in 35c heat - it had pool noodles in the back!!!!!

    Cheers,
    Col.

    The Grafton Defender is sort of like this one.

    Thanks to several Defender wavers on the Pacific Highway between Taree and Coffs Harbour on Sunday. Special mention goes to the grey dual cab with impressive barwork on the tray. Even my Hilux-driving son mentioned how tough it looked.
