However, usually I only give the newer Range Rovers an index finger wave as they rarely wave back. I suspect a lot of the drivers of older model Range Rovers used to be Series or Defender owners as they give me a good wave?

If you do not get a wave from me it's because I haven't seen you, or the tinting my Defender came with is too dark.....

When in my Defender (PUMA!!) I wave at defenders not Discoveries or Range Rovers (and would never even acknowledge a hair dresser in an Evoque)

When driving in my Range Rover I wave at Discoveries & Defenders and Salute Series I, II and III Land Rovers ...its called respect !!! -

Much to my surprise it's been the 110/Tdi's/TD5's letting the side down, most of the TDCi's have waved.

You don't happen to have a white, lifted 130 with a tray do you? I saw one coming down Barton highway last week, only caught a glimpse but it actually looked like it was a 110 converted to a tray back ute, as it had the alpine windows.

My mum has an evoque... it's not bad. I don't wave if i'm driving it, and no1 waves to me either.

Everyone stares at the D90 heaps more and wave.

Sorry to the Defender I missed on the highway just south of the city gates the other day; I was busy not paying attention to what I was doing

Mine's a white 130, but a well back (HICAP) Mach V wheels, 255/85 tyres and generally a ladder on top.

Must admit I normally only ever wave to Deafeners but have found a lot of drivers of new ones do not seem to know it's obligatory.
I have been known to lift a finger to well set up Discos but don't wave at hair dresser vehicles....unless the hair dresser driver is attractive.

Got a wave from a nice lady driving an Evoque once. Her husband probably has a Defender

Maybe they should have it in the owners manual, considering your supposed to read it before you drive your new car.
