Thread: Landy Wave?

0 waves when in my D2, tons in my 109.
All the Disco owners around here are too "up market" for waving...or smiling.

Upon purchase every new Landrover owner is to be instructed on the 'Land Rover Wave' all sales departments within the British Commonwealth shall, without exception adhere to this practice. It should be noted that the Land Rover is a most unique vehicle covering both long, and short wheelbases of all series of Land Rover. Owners therefore deserve a unique greeting.
On passing another Landrover the owner should raise the right hand in a gentle wave. Should the owner be otherwise engaged then a nod of the head in an approving manner will suffice.
It should be noted that with the recent introduction of the Range Rover line of vehicles they SHOULD NOT be included within this practice. It should further be noted that if Landrover decide to produce any further distinctly different models within its vehicle range they also WILL NOT be included within the scope of the Landrover wave. However, any further upgrades, styling changes or any further unforeseen changes made to the series III which results in a 'new' vehicle with a direct link to the Landrover vehicle WILL be included in the Landrover wave.
End quote.

So you see. Unless you own a series I, II, III, 90, 110, 127/130 or Defender, you aren't actually allowed to wave. The other cars are just following the rules!

And to that I say



Interesting story, I pass a blue Defender every day, either going to or from work, he's never waved once, when I was in my D2 or now in our D4

The D4 was off the road for a week and Lou(Dullbird) and Ian loaned me their 200Tdi D90, coming home on the first day I see this Def coming towards me and low and behold he waves, so as a responce I went

So now every time I see him, regardless of the vehicle I'm in he gets the same wave

It's not like our D4 is a mums taxi, it's far from it, so Pfffftttt to the Landy wave

Baz.

I try to wave to most D2s I drive by, I would say less then half wave back. Although it just may be the areas in which I pass them they may be more focused on the road. I find you get more waves on the open road then in town.
I have had a few Defenders and older Range Rovers wave on the highway.

Shall do i wave to everyone i do not discriminate haha. sometimes im a tad slow but even delayed ill always wave. Can be hard to see as my right arm isnt to great so i do a weird claw wave thing unless on a straight bit and i can wave with the lefty off the wheel!

I wave at any other landies, its my rule, just as I only warn other landies of any flash for cash cars.

I'm in South Australia and after 12 months in a land rover and waving to all others but I have given up.

I thing only about two waved back.
