Thread: Where's the Good OL Wave

Just back from a week away in our series three shorty and got plenty of waves and smiles from fellow Land Rover drivers!
It was great to see!

Cheers, Mick.

I don't notice many waves in the Deefer but when I'm in the old Series 2a I've been amazed at the enthusiasm of some waves! Even once saw a guy virtually climb out the window to wave vigorously from his boringdoor wagon. On the 2-way I've heard truckers start talking about the old Landy their old man had when they were kids, so I jump in and say g'day.

I wonder sometimes whether it's the speed you're travelling at that determines whether you get the chance to wave or get a chance to see someone else wave. In the Series you see all the waves (max 90kph), in the Deefer you see some waves (max 130kph), in a Disco you see the odd wave (max 150kph), in the Rangie you don't see waves (max?? What max?).

Series/90/110/127/130/Tdi/TD5 drivers don't wave to TDCi's because TDCi drivers don't wave.

I certainly get more waves now, after the lift, bar, spotties, etc.
Got a wave from a friends mum in a grey 90 this arvo
I think the P plates make some wary, they probably think I'm just driving daddy's car
Oddly enough, I've had more waves from disco drivers, seemed to get snobbed by Deefers

I don't wave but I give other Deefer drivers the thumbs up.
I even wave to them when driving my ford.
My boys are always on the lookout for a deefer.

Here's waving at ya

Got plenty of waves over the W/E driving the Puma (around the Snowies).

I only go the country-style finger off the steering wheel but some go seem to go the full crazy-hands/oh **** the windscreens about to shatter approach.

Nothing from the Disco Stu crowd though. Worried about spilling their lattes I reckon...

Come over to SE Melb,, I'll wave at anyone, much to the bemusement of SWMBO,, she's always bagging me out cause very few wave back at us , and now the daughters joining her side

Yeah, I've found the same thing. Puma drivers in general don't wave.

I still wave to all Defenders, and Series, but don't often get a return wave from Puma's, they're almost as bad as Disco's.
Soccer mum's must be driving them these days
