Land Rover wave

[Dinty]

G'day All, I know this sort of thread has been posted before, but this morning I was out in my 'Bloodbox' in the Pokolbin region and a young fella in a Disco actually waved at me, well I was so shocked by it I forgot to wave back, so i guess this is my public apology:D;):p jest in case you are a AULRO member cheers Dennis:angel::wasntme:
PS Lots of terrorists in the town today some B/s on out at tempus 2 winery, generally that brings a good thunderstorm here LOL:p:twisted:

[JDNSW]

On my current trip (so far home to Broken Hill to Adelaide to Melbourne) I have been carefully waving at all the Discos and RRs plus most of the Freelanders I have seen (although a few I have missed identifying in time to wave) - and have yet to get a wave back.

[Xavie]

I know the feeling Dinty. Recently a red FL2 waved at me and I almost crashed! I wave to most but never bothered with the FL's.

[Shonky]

Driving Ambrose North along Putty Rd on Saturday, I initiated a wave to a Deefer and got a lifted finger in reply... :( Lame.

The next car was a VB Commodore and he beat me to it with a full "arm out window flapping like a seagul" routine! :o

[Nathan]

On a recent trip to SA I noticed that they're a lot more likely to wave from any sort of LR... Caught me off guard a few times!:)

[disco gazza]

When I first purchased my disco 5 or so years ago,hardly anyone would wave at me(even tho I was waving at them.
But for the last 6/7 months,I always seem to be getting a wave from mostly old rangies/disco's and defers.....:D

[Quarks]

mmmm, Disco_owner wasn't expecting me to wave at him this afternoon... ;)

But then again, I wasn't in a landy, I was on shanks' pony. :(:p:D

[Disco95]

I tend to get a bit slack with the waving. Not too many get returned, I'm starting wave more often again though. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
I'm always looking for stickers, on pretty much any Landy I see. There's surprisingly few.:eek:

:spudnikwaving:

:D:D Hi Geoff . I got a wave from a Bloke on foot crossing epping road yesterday , so I wasn't quite sure what the protocol is for waving to a person on foot.
:spudnikwaving::spudnikboogie:

[Quarks]

Yep, that was me (coming home from uni).:D

Not to worry, I figured you'd be a bit surprised by it. :)

Don't knock the lifted finger (if you know what I mean :o).

When I was a kid living in the country near Casino, NSW, the finger lifted from the steering wheel was the standard form of acknowledgement. :BigThumb:

[Olive Drab]

i wave to all the landy's I see. Not many returned from the late model disco owners. Don't mean to make an unfair generalisation. I wave to all the landy's i see because most landy people i know have more than one.:arms:

[Jedimastermat]

I waved to a Lady in a sooped up Disco II (eg non 4WD mode low profile wheels, bright blue things, doof doof, high maintenance probably Liberal voter etc) on Windsor road and Sam Riley Cresent and I think she though I was hitting on her
:wasntme:

And if it was a Kyogle bloke...and he knew it was a Casino bloke..he extended the middle finger.

The far North Coast...some nights...you can hear it on the breeze...the banjos duelling.

[awabbit6]

I missed returning a wave from a Defender this afternoon. I was too busy admiring his side steps and didn't notice the wave until too late.

I am so ashamed .... must try harder next time!

[lovell_86]

Wen i first brought my 130 about a yr and a half ago i use to get waves all the time up here in townsville but it has been pretty slack of late but i still give a wave. All my mates think its the funnest thing lol. I just keep telling them its a highly prestigaous club hahah

High maintenance?
A) Lady
B) Landy
C) All of the above

[Lachlan_]

dad has collected (round bout 14 series ones) so i guess i can use collected land rovers since before i was born.

so when ever we are on the road we always waved to other landys
whether we were in the county, rangie or dads s1 58 lwb station wagon, it is rare to get a wave from a discovery. it is unknown whether a wave is returned from a free lander because we are too busy trying to work out if it is a freelander or a RAV 4.

and guys it is very nice when your out in central australia and you see another green county (we had never seen one Before) parked outside a pub. and by the time we have parked the owners are all ready bolting out of the pub camera in hand to take a photo of the pair.

thanks guys, (sorry about the huge post)

[Bush65]

I wave when I notice landies. But I think I might have missed dobbo early last week.

I was on my way home from work on Broadmeadow rd (office now in Newie) and was adjusting left widow (so looking that way).

Just as I faced full ahead I noticed from corner of eye, a poo brown 110 heading the other way , but too late to see the driver or wave. I'm guessing it was dobbo heading to work.

[Newbs-IIA]

Driving down the cunningham highway yesterday towing one of my series landies and i saw a nice bright red 130 towing a camper trailer, I waved but got to return. I was however driving an 80series Landcruiser as the tow car...

Whenever I tow something I always try to put a sign on the back saying "UHF 40" or similar, you'd be suprised who talks to you ;)

[Chucaro]

Coming down yesterday from Moore Park Beach I exchanged waves with a dark grey Def 110 going north. It was the only Def on 400 km :(

[richard55]

We wave when I drive my Defender But not when I use my Disco

[kermit31]

I nearly always wave at series and deefers, only problem is that I am in my work hi**x . Dont get many responses.

[JohnF]

And if it was a Kyogle bloke...and he knew it was a Casino bloke..he extended the middle finger.

The far North Coast...some nights...you can hear it on the breeze...the banjos duelling.

I am sort of a Kyogle bloke since i live in the Kyogle shire, though 25 km from the town center. Never found a problem with the Kyogle or casino blokes, but they probably consider me a new-be, as I have only lived here since 1990. Perhaps in another 10 years I will be considered a local. But I must get back to my banjo lessons for now.

Hey, watch it! :twisted:

My mother was born in Kyogle, & her neck was no redder than mine. :eek:

Off Topic! :angel:
Hi BBC,
Sorry, but I've been absent from aulro for a while.

It's good to hear from you. It looks like you are still in Tarin Kowt, however. How are your plans for Africa proceeding?

Best Wishes,
Peter

Peter, It looks like I am in TK because I have not as yet, worked out how to change my profile. Got back to Melb in Nov 08 took some time holidaying with the family then, in Jan 09 I started getting ready for Ghana, had my Visa done, innoculations, Police check so I could get my residency in Ghana, airtickets in hand ready to fly out 27 Jan 09. The company called me 17 Jan to regretfully inform me that their bank was not approving their line of credit if they continued with the expansion (which was my employment). Disappointing. Took it like a big girl ( a brave one) and am soldiering on...with them owing me 3mths of pay because they broke contract.

Since then, I have been up for any number of job prospects between Afghanistan, Somalia, Mozambique, Bosnia...people asking for you to put your CV up to support their contract bid...none have won yet...something will arise.

Meanwhile, 7 Feb 09 bought the bushfires. I got a call, pulled the uniform back on and in turn, I have been the ADF Liaison Officer at the VICPOL SERCC (organising all sorts of requests), the DSE iECC (letting them know that soldiers should not be their first option to clean their toilets), then up to Kinglake to be the Community Liaison between Kinglake and Murrindindee Municipal Council, then managng ops on the Victim Searches, now back doing the very important capture on the 'Lessons Learnt'....and guess......what?
.....there are a few. Interesting month.

So..not quite unemployed...the Army will have me back in a blink...I am trying to resist that and trying to remain available to other opportunities.

[Relay]

I wave to deefers, moded discos and older LRs and RRs. My other half thinks I'm nuts, but it's fun to see the reactions. I get very few initiated waves, but that's probably coz I'm on the ball!

There's one chick, who drives a 130 out my street (pretty rare since it's a dead end in the long run) and she never waves.

Bad books for her :mad:

[Bushwanderer]

Hi BBC,
That's rotten luck.:(

I imagine that organisations will be falling over themselves to get someone with your skills and experience. :BigThumb:

[Bundalene]

Driving the Disco along Wallgrove Road at Horsley Park on Saturday arvo. Gave, AND RECEIVED a wave from a fellow Disco driver. :p:p First time I've had a returned wave in the Disco (plenty in the Defender though:D).

Erich has had a couple of waves returned whilst driving the Disco, but it was my first one. Cheered me up no end!

Mrs B

[martinozcmax]

Just got my first ever wave. Bloke in the Disco next to me. Missus was wondering why the bloke next to us was waving. :D

Does it still count if he's an aulro'ian - G'day Dirtdawg nice to see you on the road.

Regards



Martin

[Shonky]

Got a BIG wave from a white 130 in Lithgow last Friday!

[Disco_owner]

I got a Wave from a Shonky looking Bloke in an Ambo on the Castlereagh highway heading towards Lithgow . hehe.

[JohnR]

Got a wave from a Disco on Sat morning :) I was too slow to wave back :blush: he caught me off guard, I didn't expect a wave from a Disco :wasntme:

I looking in my mirrors to see an AULRO sticker on the back! So he's from here but I didn't catch who it was????

So here's my way to you now :clap2::clap2::clap2:

Cheers,

[Shonky]

AHHHHH... was that YOUR very loaded up D1 going West was it?

[Panda]

High maintenance?
A) Lady
B) Landy
C) All of the above

:lol2::lol2::lol2:

[Panda]

Damn computer had a spaz attack & all I'd written disappeared. :(

What I was saying, was coming back over the mountains, saw one Series, but he was too far in front so couldn't get a wave.

Also saw a few Perenties stopped somewhere to get some tucker, so didn't get any waves from them either. :(

Did get one wave from a Series going over the Blue Mountains, geez there're getting rarer and rarer to spot these days. :(

[Incisor JNR]

Always wondered why my dad was waving to other LR's thought it was just him being crazy didn't know that everyone (well most) do it as well!!!


SORRY POP FOR ALL THESE YEARS OF THINKING THAT YOU'VE LOST THE PLOT...

[Disco_owner]

AHHHHH... was that YOUR very loaded up D1 going West was it?


yep :D only had a Swag , Shovel and a folding camp table on Roof Rack.:p

[samuelclarke]

Got a couple of waves from Defender drivers today - it's nice to be part of the Land Rover family. :D I was without my Defender for 2 weeks while some work was being done on her...was driving Jap cars and every Defender I'd pass I'd give them a good wave, wonder why the blank looks and then realize - D'oh!

[olbod]

Ive been driving my Bro`s P38 for the last couple of weeks while my
Disco is being worked on.
Anyway I was driving down the H`wy towards Sarina and a Bloke coming
toward me in a 5 tonne Hino truck gave me a big friendly wave.
Course I waved back,eh.
Obviously a Landy driver.

[pommie]

I drive a 110 Defender - fairly obviously loud and not standard.... and just the other day I was waving furiously at a Series 2 in slow moving traffic on Hoddle St, East Melbourne ish, Melbourne - and **** looked straight through me ****. No wave, not even a finger raise, or a nod, nothing. Now admittedly, he's got his hands full.... but I feel soiled and disrespected now...

[martinozcmax]

I think it's Pedro who puts it best. It's not how many waves you get it's how many you give that counts. :angel:

[HowardSmall]

You guys better come up North. Always wave to other Defenders and to Series. Always get a wave back (unless a bit slow off the mark as I am sometimes).

Sorry about the discos and RRs but that is how we see it up here :cool:

Howard

[British Bulldog]

Hey all got a wave this morning from a white defender in the bunngings car park in Hoppers and also got a wave this afternoon from a light blue RRC on Hogans Rd in hoppers don't usually get many around here. Either these from people on here?

[Dinty]

G'day All, If the white Defender was a 130 twin cab it could have been EricP he lives in that of the world, cheers Dennis:angel:

[Dmmos]

No wave, not even a finger raise, or a nod, nothing. Now admittedly, he's got his hands full.... but I feel soiled and disrespected now...

Well spoken brother - shame on he.

[blackbuttdisco]

Was driving through Miriam Vale in Qld thursday with Fergy tractor on trailer behind Discovery and a lady in a red Defender gave me a wave back!

[DAMMAG]

Driving south of Beaudesert QLD yesterday in my D1 and a La%$dc%$*ser waved at me. Saw a lot of Disco's and no waves.

Driving the Defender to the local butcher shop at Kemps Creek this morning & got and gave a wave to a fellow Defender driver on Mamre Road. :D

It had a few AULRO Club stickers on it as well.:D:D

I have been waving at every landy in Toowoomba and surrounding districts and when ever I have gone on trips to Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.
In the last Six months I have had One Guy nearly Jump out his Disco to wave back, a lot of strange looks and A disco with a Bike on the roof wave just before I did. :eek::eek::D:D:D So Two good waves in about 2 years is Ok.
My wife thought I was nuts untill she saw the guy trieng to wave back at last minute and said he looked Nuts. :wasntme: I just said Its a Landy thing and she smiled.:D:D:D

Have you had a bike laying flat on a roof rake one night on Cnr Herris and Hume if so i have seen you if not i dont Know who.:D:D
Mine is a distinctive white D1 (Avitar)

[Ricey]

I got a wave & toot today from Mrs Bundalene I believe! Thanks for remembering I mow at LG HQ and for the smile to lift my day. Must be a 1st though - Defender driver waving to a Ride-on mower operator as an outcome from these threads!!!

Yes, it was me Pete. I did remember you said you mowed at LG. :D:D

I waved on the way back home as well....but you were concentrating on your mowing.

If the sun shines tomorrow and dries out the wet grass a bit, I'll be mowing our lawns too...

...Nice to meet you from a distance......

Sheila

[Ricey]

It made my day Sheila, and nice to meet you too! :D I missed you on your way back, I was busy skidding around in the mud - I made a bit of a mess of that lawn today :(

[Chops]

A lift of the finger, a nod of the head, a full blown wave, their all the same,, and just being generally polite should dictate you return the gesture, but very few do :rulez:.
I've been waving at 4x4's for many years, and have had very few returns and its disapointing. The good news is, if your out in the farming sector, you'll get a wave from most of the older people, cars/trucks/tractors/bikes, :) Since having the disco (8-9 years) its become a Landy thing, the ex just couldnt get her head around it :clap2: and in the last year or so as well, any moded 4x4 will do,,
Bound to get a wave sooner or later Im sure:arms:

Cheers Chops :tease:

[afpdisc]

Hi guys and gals, I've been waving to other landies since the 1971. It died off during the eighties and early nineties but seems to be on a bit of a resurgence now. Maybe because of the 60th at Cooma last year.

I've started waving to Toyota Troopies.

I figure that I'll get a response as we have more in common.

Yep, excellent idea, I also wave to Troopies...I wave them through at creek crossings...then I wait and see :eek::twisted::D

[slt]

Well today, after reading more bad stories on here about problems with the Puma, I decided that I would start waving to Ford Transits too :p

[DiscoMick]

I wave, but I usually get ignored.

[Newbs-IIA]

I waved at quite a few landrovers today on my trip to Noosa and back. Only really got two good ones - one in Tewantin from a bloke in a yellow Series III, and one from a bloke in a Disco 1 who was overtaking my on the Bruce Highway on e way home :p

The defender drivers look at me... but then do nothing as if they don't know what to do :confused: The disco drivers just ignore me :(

Must say I got heaps of waves from people camping on Teewah Beach as I was driving along looking for gutters to fish :D

[Cap]

Im as yet to get a wave from a Fender driver... in fact most here alsmost have the 'elitist' snob look on their face :eek:

[dmdigital]

Look out for us in early August. Silver Puma with NT rego. We will wave!

As for Townsville though I gave up after being snubbed by 2 Defenders yesterday and the 4 more today driving out to Charters Towers. Did get a friendly wave from a Freebie though:D

[slt]

Drove my 130 from Sydney up to Maroochy last weekend to pick up the new camper. Saw only 5 Defenders and a Series along the way in NSW ... none waved :(. Was startled by a Disco waving to me ... sorry mate, didn't react quite fast enough lol.

Been driving around Brissy for the last couple of days, saw about 20 Defenders and Series ... most of 'em waved back :)! Must be a QLD thing ;)

slt

[DiscoMick]

I waved to a Disco the other day and he was so surprised he nearly swerved into a truck alongside him, so I better be more careful in future. :angel:

Bringing back an old thread...

I drove from Adelaide to Horsham yesterday afternoon and I saw about 8 or 10 Land Rovers on the way (maybe more).

I got waves from a D2 and two P38s. One P38 was towing a caravan.

If it was you, then Hi! :D

I didn't get waves from any of the RRS that I saw...

[The ho har's]

On our trip that took us through 4 states recently all the defenders waved :D a couple of the discos waved :) none of the RR's waved :mad:

I would have waved to you Mrs Ho Har.

[The ho har's]

You did well
We didn't even get waves from all Defender drivers on our way south over Christmas
Very disappointing :(


where we got the bigest wave and a flash of headlights was just outside of Louth:D one of the very few vehicles we saw on that road

Mrs ho har:angel:

[The ho har's]

I would have waved to you Mrs Ho Har.

Our daughter moves to Melbourne next week so I will make sure I wave when next down that way:D

I got waves from several Discos and an old RR last week, but the only Defender I saw didn't respond.

[lro11]

I got waves from several Discos and an old RR last week, but the only Defender I saw didn't respond.

Thats because you have to tow a series vehicle to get a defender driver to wave. I got three of them wave to me when I was towing a series 3 back from Maleny a couple of weeks ago.

[seano87]

I got a couple of waves on my way from NE Victoria to the Hunter Valley yesterday, couple of Defenders and few S1 Discos.

Also got one from a guy in a Defender going along the New England Hwy this arvo which was a bit unexpected as it looked like a work vehicle. Its always a nice feeling to get the wave back!

Seano

[BigJon]

Horsham to Adelaide about a week ago I got a big wave from someone in a RRC with a big RMW sticker in the back window, near Bordertown. On the way home yesterday I got a big wave from someone in a Freelander just outside Horsham. I waved back both times :D.

[cwiley]

Just got back from a weekend at Big River State Forest in Victoria. We waved to everyone on the dirt roads and got a wave back from everyone EXCEPT one guy in a d1 - the only other Land Rover we saw. Poor form I say!

[Treads]

I just travelled 2000kms in our Deefer and only got 3 waves - All the Defenders ;)

I waved at every LR product - even a new RR Sport :p

[DiscoMick]

Same here. Only the Defender drivers wave back.:(

[one_iota]

The wave count on Sunday's trip to Wollombi and back via the Old Settlers (AKA Convict) Road:

2 Defender/County types
1 RR Classic
1 Discovery Series 3
1 Discovery Series 1
1 Toyota Troopy :eek:
1 Toyota Hilux :eek::eek:



So much for the Land Rover/Defender wave :p:D

[78RRman]

I Live in the sorrento portsea area, I think the most populated lr / rr populated area in victoria, hardly ever gety a wave :( mostly only from older rr classics series lr and well equiped discos. Probly 20% success rate oh well keep trying:D

[Landy Smurf]

i have a 90% rate the other 10% are the women driving their husbands car

[DiscoMick]

Don't wave to Toyotas, it's against the LR rules.

[Lotz-A-Landies]

I wanted to wave my fist at a RRS in the car park at work this morning. Does that count?

Typical Vaucluse/Double Bay school run type, peroxide blonde hair and all. Type of person who can't even park a shopping trolley in the supermarket let alone a RRS.

[robbotd5]

I agree it is a nice feeling to get a wave back. What I have seen is that Disco's wave to Disco's. Fenders wave to Disco's (and vice versa) but Rangies.............Hmmmm. I think it is the understated minority that sticks together. I should know. I own a classic 1969 1800S Volvo that I love to death that looks so good the morons dont know what to say. We have "the wave" too but most modern Volvos dont wave back. Land Rover and Volvo go together very well.....great pionering marques that the majority make fun of. But at the same time copy. Take note Toyota.

[one_iota]

Don't wave to Toyotas, it's against the LR rules.

In my case they waved to me...must be Land Rover envy.

It happens more than I would have ever imagined,

I was down there last weekend for a cruise around,,,

No-one waved back at me,, [bawl] SWMBO keeps calling me funny names,,:eek: :D

I wave at just about everthing LR,, sometimes I dont see them in time,, or I'll be looking the wrong way,, (Sorry if I missed ya)

[mools]

I just got my first landy in Aus, I'm a pom and always had one back home, so off I go on a little drive not knowing if landy drivers over here had the wave thing going.

I was so stoked when 10k's down the road I'd collected three waves :D (gave out two 'cause I was too shocked :o by the first to respond, 'who me?') - really made my day. Think I'll remember that journey for a long time.

So yes, wave early, wave often - spread the love a little and keep a bit of class around the marque. Can't say I get waved at whilst driving the works toyota.

peace.

You're lucky - I waved to two Discos on Sunday - one ignored me and the other gave a big wave back, so my strike rate was 50%. Maybe I should lean out the window and do a big windmill wave and point a lot. :D

OK does this mean,

1. ) He’s blind.

2. ) Wishes he too had an LR.

3. ) Ex LR owner and old habits die hard.

4. ) Being a Toyota driver, he is just happy that any body would bother to wave at him.
