    Went for a Sunday drive, about 100 odd K's, around the Central Coast and home via Mangrove Mountain and Yarramalong Valley.

    Got 3 out 3 waves from defenders, all enthusiastic .

    Only 1 from 5 Disco's.

    Didn't bother with a new "sporty"

    Also used to wave to Discos and Rangies back when I first got into Defenders, but hardly ever got a response, so don't bother any more...
    This has not been the case in my experience. I am up to about 5 waves from 7 Puma drivers which isn't too bad a ratio.

    The wave is definitely alive and well in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

    Older the landy, the bigger the wave. Drove past an early S1 the other day.. Gave it a big wave and a thumbs up out the window.

    A Puma gets a few fingers off the steering wheel and a nod.

    Everything else it in the middle. (don't get me wrong, I love Puma's too.. but I love S1's a LOT )

    [QUOTE=JamesH;834317]There was a terrible wave misunderstanding on the weekend.

    I was in my wagon driving behind a mate in his 110 truck cab along Mill point Road in South Perth and a 130 came theo ther way. he waved at my mate who didn't seem him and got ignored. I waved but he was busy looking at my mates Defender and didn't see me wave. He then waved at me but I was changing gear and by the time i could do the repeat wave he turned away thinking he had been snubbed twice in 15 seconds. He looked a bit sad/miffed.

    James I had the same thing down hepburn a 110 extreme was on the other carriageway and he clocked me in the 130 i clocked him and i waved he didn't i can only assume that some people have purchased Defenders as "cars" -now what is all that about?
    You buy a Defender and you are part of the Fraternity The Defender wave is international but it does annoy when it's not reciprocated, I have been getting that from puma drivers mainly think the 130 looked to shabby for em to wave at lol.
    Liked the original story I am glad the young bloke had such sense to buy a sterling vehicle as a Defender, now you will be richer by far compared with your mates in their hot hatches, you will learn vehicle mechanics (not out of choice), and also that your mates can go fast but you can go everywhere

    Hi,
    I had just picked up the new Defender ute from the dealers, had stopped down the road to read the book and set the GPS to get to the boat through all that scary Melbourne traffic and absolute maze of roads.
    Just as I was pulling out in to the traffic again . . . . Yea! my first Defender wave from a 130 wagon.

    cheers
