Just drove past a new ‘Defender’..

[TheEntertainer]

In an old Defender.... Do I wave or not?

[cripesamighty]

Well, do you wave at Disco 3/4/5's....

:wasntme:


PS. If they are using it for what it was intended for, then I would.
PPS. If they bought it to be a show pony, then you have to edumakate them in the Landy wave anyway!

And even though I'm Deeferless now I still wave!

Unfortunately no one waves back to D2's.....[emoji17]

A fair and valid question...

*Does a series Land Rover owner wave to a 110 owner?
*Does a 110 owner wave to a Defender owner?
*Does a series Land Rover owner wave to a Defender owner?
*Can a series Land Rover owner even wave to anyone with all that concentration being used to actually drive the vehicle?
*Some might say to get out your pitch fork and burn the witches.
*if a tree falls on a Defender in the forest and there is nobody around, was the Defender even there?

Personally I wave to all 110, Defender and series Landy owners and quite often Discovery 4 owners (as it's likely to be the last decent Land Rover to be built (only time will tell on the "new" Defender))

*As its likely to be a fashion statement while driving off to buy a chi latte then I am likely not to wave at the driver of a new Defender.

I looked up, thought nice new car and drove past. Mind you it is a nice new car.

But... to be honest I have way more customers with last model "Defender classics" (are we calling them that yet?) that own and drive them as nothing more than a "cool thing to have" (yes a fashion statement).

The look on the sales droid at the jeep showroom last week when SWMBO haggled with him for a free loadspace mat "to catch the sheep poop" in the back of her potential new Rubicon was pretty priceless. He then went on to estimate the 8/10 Rubicons are bought for pose value.

Sadly I’ve never had a D2 wave back to me. I do miss that part of owning a D2

I have had a lot of D2 and Deefers wave at my D2.

Today at Mt New I had an excited young guy stop and get his MR Triton window down to say G'day (I was driving my Mitsu today). Having said that most of the vehicles I saw were Pajero and Tritons today and a couple of Mazda and Toyota. No LR sadly.

Cheers

I wave, or raise the finger, to all Land Rovers.
Sometimes get a wave back, sometimes not.

Once North of the Curry I wave to everyone. On the long stretches South of the Curry, every one, Across to Normanton, every one, East to Mt Garnet, every one.
Curry to Mt Isa, no, way to much traffic.

PS Folks who hire motorhome/vans just don't wave. Back packers are either enthusiastic or ignorant, most others are OK.

[gromit]

The question is, would you recognise a new 'Defender' to wave at it in the first place ?

If I'm in the Defender or a Series I wave to other Defenders or Series vehicles. I've more or less given up with Disco's, if they wave I wave back.

ColinSurely not D2 and D1? Cheers

[rar110]

If I’m in the desert camo 110 I get lots of waves. If I’m in the L322 I generally get the reverse middle finger wave, I assume people think it’s an expensive luxo car. Ironically the 110 is worth lots more.

If I do something about the sun damage on my d2 I'm tempted do to white roof with defender grey body. Should get me a few more waves I think.
