    landrovers.... not what they used to be...

    Ok Conclusive proof, the defenders with the **** bulges in the bonnet, or Fords as I refer to them are NOT defenders.

    On my recent drive out to Emerald we passed something like 30 landies while I was at the wheel....

    Defender drivers wave, Check, every single time AND I was in a disco.
    Disco Drivers, Check, well mostly usually the D1s waved and occasionally the D2s.
    Ford Drivers, Nope, Not a single one out of about 10.

    Since Defender drivers wave and all......

    Does that mean that Isuzu Countys are not Land Rovers either?

    But they wave!!!! (Even at waving RRc and D4s)

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Maybe the Puma's (Fords) are sick of Disco's (Taxi's) not waving.

    I will keep waving at all LR badged vehicles! Big hand for series I, II, III, Defenders, Puma's (Fords) and Classic Range Rovers. 2 fingers for Disco's (Taxi's).

    Did a run over the Blue Mountains Friday / Saturday. Got waves from everything except Disco's (Taxi's).

    Where I grew up everyone waved at each other in any vehicle on local roads.....

    Puma (Ford) Driver.
