Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

We have a Puma and we ALWAYS wave at other Landrovers - Discos as well...It's a tradition.

Tinted windows make it a bit hard to see an "inside" wave, so we usually try & and give a BIG "outside" wave

I wave at all Landrovers I see including Series, Countys, Defenders, Discoverys and Range Rovers..... and I am Puma Owner???

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.....

As a new Puma owner, its not something I am used to doing, however I am starting to get in the swing.
Mind you, I don't always recognise a LR coming the other way sometimes, as either my mind is on other things, or I am on the phone. (Bluetooth of course)

Always wave and I drive a Puma.

Know what you mean Kris. It is sometimes hard to wave to other Landrovers in the city - too busy concentrating on traffic etc. When you get out of the rush of city traffic it's better.

I have noticed a fair few 110/130 TDI3/5 not giving the wave, as i drive from the GC/BNE most days. There also the ones that use the same road everyday of the week. But i think its been like this for along time, not everyone who drivers a defender is a land rover addict.

I love the wave keep them coming! I feel guilty if I miss one

Come on guys, thats one of the things that set us apart from the others! who cares about Jap 4x4s. And discos-Dime a dozen. But Defenders, its like a club within a club. So come on guys lets get the rage back.

Any thoughts?

Sometimes I can't differentiate a defender from a LC troopcarrier or an old nissan patrol. Shame on my eyes. I always raise my palm or index finger once I confirmed it's defender.
