Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

Got a big good wave from a bloke in a white Defender single cab on Kingston Road this morning, then immediately came up behind a flash dark 90 heading towards Beenleigh.

We were driving to Beenleigh this morning and didn't see any other defenders

I turned out of your Street onto the main road and almost immediately passed a white 130 duel cab with a tray back. I waved like mad but I think the bloke was dead. Should' be driving in that state.

Back home yesterday after a couple of nights away and got a very enthusiastic wave from a Disco 3 or 4 owner between Glen Innes and Armidale. I was in the 130.

The world is going crazy!

OK, OK, I'll give you an explanation. Remember I drive a Keswick green D90.

Driving home from Townsville today (to mackay) was just driving along minding my own business when some random guy in a 4x4 (think it was a toyota) waved to me! So I think, yea ok no worries, he was confused or something. Got a bit further down the road and there's a bus driver waves. very odd... o well maybe he thought he knew who I was. I keep going, a little while later there is some roadworks! slowing down behind the cue, and the lollie pop person turns the sign and starts gesturing the line through. When he/she gets to me they stop waving through and give me a wave, then as the next car comes he/she starts gesturing cars through again. So that's odd, I don't know anyone who works for mainroads but ok, I waved back.

Just when you thought that it's got as good as it can get, there is a Land cruiser towing a massive caravan coming the other way further on, and he waves!

I have NO idea whats going on... was starting to think I should stop and check that there wasn't a dead animal stuck in my bullbar or something.

BTW, the whole round trip on the highway from Mackay to Townsville and back i didnt' see a defender. IN townsville was a bit different....

Pretty sure I saw the very last one for sale in Townsville while I was there too. It's the only defender left at the dealership I soooo wanted to take it home to keep mine company.

I tried to convince my brother to buy a new 90 to replace his old Jeep Wrangler. He didn't do it because the 90 was too tall to fit in the single garage of his townhouse.

He ended up buying a new Wrangler, and it is a little different shaped to his old one, only to find it also is too tall to fit. What an opportunity lost
