the wave?

[morpheus]

Ok so do we wave to each other? I mean D3/4/RRS on the road? I thought it was a Defender thing - not taking anything away from it, I actually think it is awesome.

I was driving to Murrumbateman, from Canberra, yesterday arvo in my D3 and I spotted a brand new White D4, with a LR bar, coming the other way Nd before I knew it he waved. I felt embarrassed as I had only responded after he passed.. it could be the previous owner of my car however.

By the way, I love the VIP access for Land Rovers at Brumbies matches at GIO Stadium. Tried it yesterday. Awesome.

[~Rich~]

In the country or in the bush yes, city no.

[101RRS]

Most D3/D4s are being driven by soccer mums who don't know what brand of car they are even driving so I no longer wave - little point.

[Dagilmo]

I've been giving it a go with hit and miss results. The only guaranteed hit, is my wife laughing when I don't get a wave back ;)

Agree with country yes, city not so much.

Will keep putting out there in-spite/because of, the wife's chuckling.

[letherm]

I have kept an eye out for fellow LR drivers since taking delivery of my first LR late last November after reading a similar thread before purchase. City experience only, but not a hint of recognition let alone a wave or raising a finger or two off the steering wheel. Most seem to be staring straight ahead. :(

[Tombie]

I always wave to all LR :cool:

[AnD3rew]

Similar experiences. In the country pretty good results, but way out there it doesn't matter what make you drive, you can get a wave.

City have tried it with deefers but most will not recognize that a a Disco is a real Land Rover and won't return, and most Disco drivers don't get it either but some times if you see one with some mods you can get a return.

It's not a Defender wave, it's a Landy wave :D

[oldsalt]

I get mixed results in the city... but pretty good "return" wave rate in the country... maybe if more people waved to each other the world would be a better place... maybe...:)

[Bess]

City,country,series,Rangie Vogue,Disco 1234, Freelander, Evoque, I figure it can't hurt to show a little friendship anywhere anytime.:D

Having just moved back to Sydney after years of country life & touring I reckon the city folk could use all the friendliness they can get;)

What's it hurt & as a young disabled man once commented " SMILE ITS FREE "

Regards Chris & Bess ( the one that makes me smile )

[DiscoWeb]

Over the past few weeks I have driven Sydney to Armidale and back and then Sydney to Tweed Heads and back meaning the best part of 2,500km i think.

I think I waved at pretty much every LR I passed. I think I got 2 waves back.

My wife and kids think it is a bit sad but it gives me a laugh and hopefully like the original poster gives the other drivers the impetus to start to wave as well.

Regards,

George

[Canaussie]

As Tombie says I wave to all LR's old and new!! Nothing wrong with showing a bit of comeodery entwine owners!!

[Armitage_Shanks]

As a relatively new RRS owner (new owner of an older RRS ;)) I tried the wave at every Landy I passed whilst in the Vic NE during summer.
Not one! Not a single one over the space of 10 days. The wife and kids had a ball laughing at me.
I remember when my Dad got his first Pajero and there were waves all over the place. Stupid Pajero's. I owned one once. I hated it. People reckon Land Rovers are unreliable! Own a Pajero. That's pain right there. Not to mention the name translating in Spanish to a certain pass-time.
Still, it's not going to put me off. I'm heading to the Snowy Mountains in a few weeks and I'll be waving at every Landy I see on the trip.

[SBD4]

Yep, I always wave regardless of model.

[sarge270]

I wave when I realize its a landy. Was down at beachport for new year and got waves from almost all d1's and d2's about 7 or so, not one from a d3 or d4 (didn't see any defenders). Personally I think you'll get a wave from an enthusiast, someone who loves and works on their landy. Still doesn't hurt to wave!:D

Agreed, I wave all the time.

Country - Just about everyone waves. :D

But in the burbs, the return rate is definitely higher from those with more obvious off road use.

Much of the soccer mum crowd are doing well to notice you are there ...let alone identify another Land Rover :angel:

[Chops]

As a Defender driver :D I always wave at all models of Landies, as others have said, much to the amusement of my partner. Sometimes it gets a responce :D, sometimes it does'nt :(. But you never know just who you might meet, or where it might lead you in the long run, and it could all be because of just raising an acknowledging finger. ;)
I've only had one good wave from a D4,,,, thanks Mike (Tombie). :D
But at Mt Gambier the other day, we spoke with a D4 enthusiast, hopefully soon to get a bit more involved with the forum here :D

The more you wave, the more the rest of us will get back as well, and as said previously, "smiles are free".
Quite a few D3-4/RR owners must get quite a shock when my ugly mug starts waving at them at the lights and passing etc :eek:,,, but I wont stop,,,, :cool:

[Rich84]

Always wave at other LRs in the country... City you just get weird looks. RRS is even more soccor mum stigma'd than the D3/D4!


I was pleased when another white RRS driver waved at me, for a change I wasn't the initiator of the wave...

[Epic_Dragon]

i always wave regardless of the landrover! im in a D2, i dont always get a wave back but ill keep on waving :)

[morpheus]

Thanks for the responses. I usually acknowledge any country driver, as I am originally from the country - drives my wife nuts - so from now on I will wave at any LR.

[V2Evo96]

Small wave to D3/D4 with hand lifted slightly off the top of the steering wheel. Would be classed as a friendly, but 'mimimum efffort' wave.....

Woudn't waste the effort in the city but will add wave to all Discovery's going forward from now....

[Basil135]

Just did the round trip from Adelaide to Sydney over Easter.

Didn't see too many Landies of any sort on the country roads, but waved to all of those that I did see.

Grand total of return waves = 0. Thats zero, zilch, nada, nothing. :mad:

I got a better response from the truckies.

Even had a FFRR give me the death stare, like how dare I even LOOK as his automobile. :eek:

Best one I ever got was about 100m from home. We were leaving in the D2 and another one exactly the same came around the corner. We both waved, at the same time, and SWMBO asked who that was. Dunno, but he drives a great car. :D

[SBD4]

I spent Easter through to the ANZAC day LWE down at the south coast, I got about 75% return rate on the wave while there from Defender, D2 and D4 drivers. Had a hard time getting anyone in a RR to respond but that's no surprise!

Long live the Landy Wave!!:D

[Bess]

Bahahaha, you gotta love this! the missus & I were so busy waving at a fellow defender owner the other morning that I completely missed my turn arrow.:p
Oh we'll all for a good cause!

And my other excuse is that it was very early!!! :D

Regards all, Chris

[dukemasterpro]

Related to the wave I guess is bumping into another forum member whilst traveling. Had the pleasure of meeting Redback ( Baz ), wife and daughter at Arkaroola a few days ago. We had been doing the self drive 4wd route on the property and they noticed we had a blown out spare on the roof ( actually the spare spare ) . Next day they kindly let us follow them to Copley so we could buy another tyre before continuing on to the Oodnadatta Track and Uluru. So far have seen more Landies that expected and waves from all but Baz's offer of an escort was much appreciated and also nice to chat to someone else on the UHF than my wife ( especially as our hi line audio died the day we left ). Baz an update for you we are able to buy a replacement rim in Alice next week. Will be praying to the wheel and tyre gods for the rest of the trip. The trailer park lights turned out to just be a blown fuse so all works as tested pre-trip.

[Dagilmo]

I was waiting in traffic this arvo when a guy in a D1 coasted up beside me. I noticed he was taking a good look at my D3 so I gave him a thumbs up. He gave me the slowest non smiling nod you can imagine and keep moving. Must not have thought much of my new fangled contraption:p

[PKD4]

I am glad that someone else's wife finds it as amusing as mine does!

And, unfortunately, as other poster's have commented, she also fails to recognize other Landrovers on the road when she is driving, so I would guarantee that she would not return a wave..... :(

Pat

[BobD]

I try to wave to all LR owners and have only ever had one response, which was from a D2 driver near my house! My son also waves in his D1, with similar results.

I was surprised to see a few local D3's and D4's at Alice Springs when I was passing through last year. More there than I saw on the rest of the trip to Darwin and back. No one waved though!

Apart from Disco drivers, I wave to campers and caravaners when I am on the road in my camper trailer or caravan. You get almost 100% return waves with this group.

Bob

[Parkes]

When in the country I wave to anyone but when back in Sydney it's certainly a more somber affair. Will bring back the wave though in Sydney to Landy drivers!!

[AnD3rew]

Based on this thread I tried out a wave on a D4 with front and rear bars RWC and Jerry can holder at Macquarie Uni this morning.

Got nothing.

[Dagilmo]

That's disapointing! Seems you picked a good target, but still nothing!

[PaulGOz]

In the city these would need to be targetted waves. I find when touring a wave is a lot more common. I have had one other d4 driver start a conversation after passing on the UHF on Kings Way actually helped me out as I had missed my turn. Otherwise conversations at rest stops and servos and camp sites are great and I have found most d4 owners will strike up a conversation and why not we have all seen the light and every owner I meet seems to have the permagrin.

I'll need to keep an eye out for waves as I am near Mac Uni and I think I know of the car you are referring to is it white by any chance?

No it was a dark colour, can't remember exactly what colour.

Also tried a Defender this morning. Nothing, also pulled up at lights next to a white D4, looked across and was gong to try a nod or a wave but I think he deliberately avoided looking my way.

[jon3950]

Hope it wasn't me.:( I usually notice Discos, especially modded ones.

I'll always wave at a modded Disco or any Defender or Series around town, but otherwise don't bother anymore. Try and wave at every Landy out of town though.

We've all got to keep this up. One day we'll pass each other and finally get a wave returned.

Cheers,
Jon

[DanW]

I had better responses in my D3, but it was still an enthusiast car back then :D

Now in my D4 I wave to any series Disco, and all Defenders - I have better responses from D1, D2 and Defenders than I do D3's and D4's.

Even when I know there is a soccer mum driving a D4 I wave - because that's the rules.

98% of RR drivers got the car because they thought it would make them look important, so they won't want to associate with riffraff in Disco's ;)

[letherm]

Tried waving at a D4 pulled up at lights as I turned left into his street but didn't get a wave back. Then I noticed he was looking in the back:p

[shining]

I always give it a go.!

[morpheus]

I waved at 2 D2s and 2 Defenders ( a loaded up 110, and a 130). So four separate occasions. Nothing back. Maybe it's that plasticy nudge bar...

[rocmic]

During two weeks touring from Sydney to Melrose (for the Land rover show, lots of waves around there:D), on up through the Flinders to Arkaroola, across to Cameron Corner and back to Sydney via Broken Hill , Menindee, Ivanhoe and Parkes. I waved to Land Rovers of all persuasions, even got replies from RRs and Defenders. Also plenty of waves and replies from other makes. The only wave not returned was a D4 (on the way in to Arkaroola from Balcanoona), steely look straight ahead:o.
Cheers
Mike

[Tombie]

Try it from a Freelander! They ALL ignore you!!!

[SBD4]

What are you doing in a Freelander Mike? Something happened to the D4?

Hard to visualise you sitting in one of those:D

D4 dropped in for service work Saturday and given a loaner to get home to Whyalla.

Must say the SD4 FL2 has some serious poke for its size...

[SBD4]

yes, I had one too for the same reason - I was quite impressed.

[Wirraway]

Keep waving! Especially to D4s around Canberra/Yass, it might be me. Will guarantee a wave unless the wife is driving. :)

[SimmAus]

Keep up the wave I say.
Although I'm in the UK at the moment, and in the countryside; I reckon you'd drive around constantly waving :-)
I've never seen more Series to FFRR vehicles in my life, they must give Landrovers away here (clearly no LCT) ;-)

[Bluepippa]

Personal challenge time...
I'm heading from Sydney to Cabramurra on Thur and back on Fri...
There will be plenty of opportunity for a wave I'm sure between here and there and back..

I will keep a close count on the waves sent compared to the waves received and report back... Wish me luck
BP

[CaverD3]

Got a Freeloader loaner from Alto. Engine is much better than previous model. What did they do it it? Was it just a re-map.
Enjoyed driving it, much better than the Ewok loaner I had last time, that had dangerous lag.

I usually wave but I have had a few who waved at me but did not notice until they were past me. So if someone does not wave it does not mean they did not appreciate it.:D

[Dagilmo]

Driving Kalgoorlie to Perth on Sunday. Saw a D3 with a caravan. I went early and big. Got one back. Stoked!

I'm easily amused:D

[BMKal]

You've done well getting a wave from any Landrover on that run. I drive it regularly and have pretty well given up - unless it's another D4 that's obviously been set up for touring (I sometimes get a return wave from them).

I get more waves from Jeeps and Toyotas on that run than I do from Landrovers - and NEVER from the many Defender steerers you come across out there. ;)

[Bluepippa]

The results are in...
From Sydney to Canberra then onto Cooma ending up in Cabramurra... Severn full hand off wheel high five style waves dispatched ...... Not a single return :-(
Today, Cabramurra to Thredbo onto Cooma, back to Canberra and finally Sydney.... Nine given and I was losing faith in my fellow LR drivers... About to give myself a wave in the mirror and a D4 coming the other way got a double hander.... Wait for it.... Result !!! I got a friendly wave... I was grinning all the way home..

[jon3950]

I did well yesterday. Received two waves, which I was able to return. One from a very nice looking white D4 on the Bell's Line of Road and the other from a D2 in Lithgow (which also looked good, of course).

The D4 looked like it was returning from a desert trip, anyone on here?

Cheers,
Jon

[Tombie]

No waves today :(
Despite waving to:
5 disco 3/4
4 RRS
8 Defenders

Got plenty from Prado, Patrol and Hilux drivers 8)

Damn near everybody waves out your way, even truckies,,, my arm got sore :eek:
But it made for an interesting trip. :D

[AnD3rew]

Got a good wave this morning from a very nice looking white D(?4) with white front bar and RWC just outside Warwick early this morning.

Can't say the same for the other D3 and D4 and the Deefer that came along behind.

[nat_89]

Well i must say i was mildly disappointed, yesterday i passed 3 defenders and 2 D4s and 3 D2s and a Freelanders and i think i got one wave out of a D4 and that was it!!

[landy]

It's not a Defender wave, it's a Landy wave :D

No you don't wave. It's a Defender/Series thing. :D

[winaje]

I was stunned a couple of days ago to have a lady in a RRS return the wave with a little smile just around the corner from home. There is hope yet.

[tiddy]

I was at Bunnings Tuggeranong recently and a bloke in D4 going the other way gave me a big wave, of course I returned it with smiles all round. It was a good feeling of comraderie.

[DanW]

Got a wave yesterday in Suburban Brisbane. Nice looking Red or Burgundy D4 (Sun was in my eyes a bit). I walked in to my house singing and my wife says "someone's happy" and I just said "got a wave...." :D

[shanegtr]

I got a wave from a d2 driver a couple of days ago, but I was in the passenger seat at the time, my return wave was a little to late. My father in law who was driving at the time didn't notice the wave (actually he dosent seem to notice much around him when driving anyway:censored::eek: he's an accident waiting to happen, but I don't have a choice in driving at the moment:censored:)

[SimmAus]

I think in vehicles that have some outward modification your chances are higher. Gave and received a response from a similar D4 on Ryde road in Sydney this week. My passengers (who are non Landrover types) were amazed...

[Castle Landy]

Most of the return waves are from "traditional" Landy drivers. Many of the newbies are still getting used to the idea. A it's a Landy thing :D

[morpheus]

I got a couple of waves from some D3s and 4s when I went up to Port Macquarie in July, but most of my waves went unanswered.

[morpheus]

I was at Bunnings Tuggeranong recently and a bloke in D4 going the other way gave me a big wave, of course I returned it with smiles all round. It was a good feeling of comraderie.

I reckon I might have gone past you some time ago, Tiddy. I was on my way to Corin and I spotted a sweet D4. I thought it might have been you.

[Epic_Dragon]

I love the wave and always wave to all landies!

[Fred Nerk]

I have noticed more waves in the Adelaide Hills recently. I am rarely the initiator and sometimes the other Landy gets past before I realise that I owe them a wave. I will try harder. :D

[ozscott]

D2 drivers wave at each other all the time...

Cheers

[Mungus]

What type of wave is it?
I'm sort of used to the over forty farmer finger, but realise that could be a little difficult to see at times.

[Bytemrk]

I'm with you Mungus, that's normally my style...

I vary between that and the regular LR wave....;)

[EastFreo]

I don't get my Defender until Tuesday but have been embarrassing the wife by waving from her Volvo.

today I think I got a return wave from a grey Defender driving north up West Coast Hwy.

[tiddy]

I reckon I might have gone past you some time ago, Tiddy. I was on my way to Corin and I spotted a sweet D4. I thought it might have been you.

Hi Morpheus, I've been up to Corin a few times in the last couple of months, so if it was a dark blue My14 D4 you saw, it was probably me....I hope I waved lol.

[Redback]

We went to the Expo Sunday, waved at every Landy we saw, got 2 back, one by Bundalene on the Forum and one by a couple we were speaking to at the Expo(waved goodbye as we drove by)

We even pulled along side a D1 and waved, nothing, never even turned his head to look at us:mad: and were ignored by the rest, and, all of them were going to the Expo:eek:

2 waves from more than 10 or more Landies:spudnikwhat:

I gave it one more try and it failed, so back to giving the backwards peace sign, so if you see a grey D4 with mods and you get (I don't do the Yank single finger) the twin finger "thats me":cool:

BTW great to catch up with everyone we saw, it was a great day:BigThumb:

Baz.

[Rich84]

Maybe we should have some kind of demerit point system for confirmed AULRO members who don't wave.


Each failure to wave at other LRs could be 3 demerit points.


When you reach 6 demerit points within any 3 year period, you get an official warning.


If you reach 12 demerit points within any 3 year period, you lose your aulro membership for 3 months, unless you take the 1 point option, where you have to wave at every car on the road for a whole year.


Failure to render assistance to another LR owner who has run into trouble could be 6 demerit points.


Playing Justin Bieber or One Direction on an LR stereo - instant loss of membership for 12 months.

What a great way to start the day. :D

[Dizza]

I got a wave from someone in a dual cab 130 Defender yesterday while polishing my Disco [emoji16]

Put a grin on my face for the rest of the day [emoji1]

Normally us Disco folks get ignored regardless of how Landy crazy we are [emoji20]

[crawal]

We just spent a couple of days in Mildura , got a couple of waves from D3's no luck on D4's or earlier vehicles seen a nice D3 with camper in Wentworth who gave a a wave .:D:D
First big road trip away fitted the kids (4) no complaints on leg room great economy ....

[jonesfam]

So, some poor D4 with van driver who was stopped on the Corydon - Normanton road thinks I'm mad.
He was pulled well off the road standing on a mound & looked like he was waiting for the Gulflander to go past when I drove past, hit the horn & waved like mad.:D
Give him his due he did manage to wave back though I was all but past by then.


Most folks in Landies around the Atherton Tablelands probably also think I'm mad! I keep forgetting I'm driving the wife's Delca most the time when home but still wave happily (nearly wrote gaily) to all LR's.

I will definitely be in your 2% and I agree with others that Country v. City is very noticeable. Another good reason to move to the country. :cool:


Listening to Alan Jones this morning, he was bemoaning the lack of manners and personal interaction between people these days. Everyone has an iPhone attached to their ears or their eyes are magnetised to the ground. We need to walk around with our heads up, make eye contact and SMILE! Stress will be relieved and it would keep us out of doctor's waiting rooms or dare I say it, coffins. :censored:

I sold my houseboat last month and while travelling up river all passing boats waved. Perhaps it's a holidays thing. Mind you, we used to sing a song to the hire boats something like "You have to give it back, ha ha."


When towing our caravan, the wave seems to be more prevalent, again maybe a holidays thing, although I towed with a BMW X5 and the non return of waves was very amusing to my wife. Motorhomers seem to have their fingers Super Glued to the steering wheel though.


I always wave to Police and Ambos but that's an "old habits die hard" thing. Return waves are surprisingly high. :)

[kero]

A lot of Discos around Bowral,no return waves yet,been working this area for a week and a half. Kero

[EastFreo]

Got two waves from Defenders today. One this morning in West Perth from a guy in a bronze one and another on the way home in Mosman Park from a white one.

[jonesy63]

I drove to South Australia last week and back this week. 2400km and I got 4 return waves from Defenders (out of 4), 2 waves from D3s (out of 3), and only 1 from a D4 (out of 4).

[Tombie]

This SA D4 always waves!

Got a wave from white MY14 with driving lights this morning in Turramurra. Barely returned it as I was a bit distracted with some driving stuff at the time.

Good to see someone else up this way who waves. Was it anyone on here?

Cheers,
Jon

BIG wave from a chap in a white D4 going over the bridge in Dubbo. My first reciprocal wave in the new machine.

I got a flash from another fridge or was it a washing machine in the city last week.

I wave to most Landies but sometimes get strange looks as I'm in the work ute;)
In the country I wave to everyone! Just courtesy to others as I remember dad/mum/uncles etc doing the same back in the day (70's).
Used to get 100% waves back up till 2000 ish. After then more city folk are traveling further (not just fishing folk chasing the magnum Tailor in Carnarvon or big everything on the south coast) and just don't get it.:mad:

Got a great wave from a lady in a black Puma in Melbourne city on Friday night :D

Passengers in our car thought we were quite mad ;)

Passed a few LRs today from old discos to a RRS and a couple of defenders aswell!! Was very surprising only got a couple back maybe 2 out of 8 waves and surprisingly one was from a young girl in a new white RRS very surprising!! But great to see haha.

[Discofever]

I wave at modified D1s and D2s regardless. Much more likely to get one back in these. I got a wave from a D3 once was pretty surprised actually.

Have had the D4 since 2010. Use to be not many about, but last week counted 6 D3/D4 from Kurrajong Heights to Richmond. Wife laughs when I wave but got one accidentally while scratching my head last week. (D2). Got a loaner Defender from Bruce Davis while getting a service, never had so many waves. D3/D4 it seems a bit rare, but good when it happens.

Regards

I was surprised only got one wave from a defender and none from D1 or D2s disappointed me there!!

I got a return wave from a Series Landy that was in South Bank Brisbane last week - I was surprised because I waved out of habit while driving my wife's Passat!

I always wave at Defenders and series - as I explain to my girls, it's kind of like bowing to the queen, or saluting a senior officer (got teach the next Gen all about respect!)

Well it's finally happened.:)

I got a wave from a black D4 yesterday. First one since I bought my D4 nearly 2 years ago - I do live in Sydney. Managed to overcome my surprise and wave back. Nice feeling :p
