First Defender Waves!!

[discojools]

Had my first two waves this morning down here in Mornington within 10 minutes. Made my day! Sad isn't it?

No I don't think so, a wave always improved my day.

You are already outside the box owning a Defender, so you may as well wave. Others simply don't get it.

Yeah I love getting a wave, always makes me smile. Funny thing is I always see defenders when I'm driving the Falcon, and hardly ever when I'm driving mine :(

Even worse I FINALLY saw a limited edition Defender exactly the same as mine on the hwy the other day... and to my delight driven by a lady..

Only problem my hubby was driving the damn car and I was in the passenger seat at the time! Oh and I should mention that's the second time he has driven since we bought it.. :eek:

The waves are good.. it's a silly little thing but it always makes me day a little brighter! :)

It is sill then Sue; just like a smile or compliment. Hey, I got a wave from a Disco driver in Engadine (1 hour south of Sydney) the other day and hello to you if you visit this site?

There's another reason not to drive a Falcon; like you'd need one! :p Ha ha!

Drove the daughters 90 the other day, and here's me hoping to see another 'Deefa' so I can see if I've lost my touch with the 'wave'. Didn't see one......:dbcry:. Ti's a tale of woe if that is now a highlight of my life. :D

[discojools]

Yeah you are all right, it does brighten your day! And why is that when a I try and add a smilie I get just a load of text and not the smilie itself? Like this: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/smilies/cool.gif

I got my first wave 2 days after buying my 90, on Maggie Island af all places where it seems every 2nd car was a Suzuki of some description :o

It was appreciated though

Are you trying to make the smiley a URL or something?.. or are you just clicking on the smileys in the box to the right like this:.. :):D:cool::eek:

[discojools]

Yeah just clicking on the smilie just like this::p

So what am I or am not doin?

PS: no more Def waves today, was in the D4 and I rarely get them in that car!

[discojools]

Oh it's worked!:)!

[Sue]

Oh it's worked!:)!

Lol.. maybe you had your caps lock on or hit alt or something before..:confused:

I always have a smile on my face when I drive "Monty", but the wave just makes it even bigger. Saw an almost identical one to mine yesterday, but I was in the damn Falcon ute, but he did have a smile on his face.

-Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.:p

[GoldCloverLeaf]

There are too many Defenders where i live (not that that's a bad thing), and after awhile you have waved to the same person about 85 times in a week :p

The ones i can easily recognise are now a 1 finger off the wheel salute but the stock white examples are more tricky as you never know if it will be the 86th wave or a new one.

Most of the guys/girls in the new gleaming black ones don't seem to care about waves though, too cool apparently ;)

Chances are when they bought the car they weren't told about the Defender wave..:)

I'm happy to be back in a club of wavers, having once owned a Kombi and now a 130. I have to say that defender owners are outdone by the enthusiasm dedicated to the wave by the VW Kombi community. I'll do my bit to lift the defender wave to new heights.

Unfortunately I spend most of my driving time on dual lane highways, so the wave is hard to give/spot through the trees down the centre - but I try.

I end up with a sore arm most days driving around Brisbane and Ipswich in the 90.waving at all the Land Rovers Defenders allways wave D1's and D2's sometimes D3 hardly ever Rangies 1 last week I nearly drove of the road.

We went to Sydney in our 'Monty', a not quite gleaming svx on the weekend. Must say it was the best looking car in the Sofitel carpark:cool:

We saw lots of Sports, Vogues, and D4s, but didn't pass a Defender to wave to until we were back up near Newcastle, then another near home. I must admit it felt really good when they waved back. One guy near fell out the window trying to wave :D
