Thanks to the great guy in the chipped td5 from colac for checking we were all good.

All part of the defender/series unwritten law.

....... and then when you get back in the defender the other people you are traveling with ask you how you knew them, then you explain the landie law and they look at you like you shoul be in the funny farm

that is spot on!!!
but it's good to share the love hey?
it always comes back, most you get off the toyota drivers if you have issues is some guy coming to take the **** out of you for driving a land rover ...no love there

We can "share our love" with Tojo when we pull 'em out - they hate it, we love it.

But for sure - the Series/Defender camaraderie is one of our great strengths.

As a new Defender owner ( about 2 months ) this is what it is all about. I've had the tossa toyos but there is something special about the little lady parked out front and something about the people that appreciate her kind. no matter how far from home I am if I see another Land Rover I know I'm amongst good friends.

p.s The missus still thinks that I know everyone I wave at

We have our daughter trained now when she is driving the Disco or the fender she knows to wave....but she did comment today when I waved at a 130 in Beenleigh he totally ignored me she said maybe he didn't see us...I am always confused how anyone can miss a bright Red 130 when you also drive a defender

When we first started going out my girlfriend was amazed at how many people she thought i knew because she would always see me waving to people on the road wherever we drove! It wasn't till later that i told her that it was the Land Rover wave and i didn't actually know any of them!
