    Disco owners don't wave

    In the 10 months of owning our Disco and the 30,000ks we have done we have only had a wave returned once, why could this be, i mean we have had more waves from jap 4bs than Landies.

    Come on all you Disco owners whats the go here, and is it me or have others found the same.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    Baz......you haven't come across me yet

    The wife laughs when I spot a Discovery and I give it the big flick of the wrist 8O 8O

    We joke that the question on the minds of the other Disco must be 'Who the hell is that :?: ' :wink: :wink:

    Cheers,
    Lyndon.

    Hi Redback, at least you got one wave. Not once have I ever got a reciprocal acknowledgement from a Mk 3 Range Rover driver, they are so fully of there own importance, they reckon their s##t don’t stink.

    On the other hand, you would not believe the looks on some of the Disco drivers faces when I return a wave to them.

    Cheers.

    Baz, it might be that you are in Sydney. Or does it also happen when you travel?
    Up here in Qld we regularly get waves.
    Keep waving, at least you are happy.

    I wave all the time but very, very rarely have it returned.
    I thought it was just a Sydney thing, but since moving to the country it's still the same.
    The missus just shakes her head, she thinks there's something wrong with us Landy owners

    Hey Baz, good topic, made me laugh. Having recently bought a new disco 3, I have wondered about the concept of the hand wave. Everytime I pass another Land Rover I feel this overwhelming desire to give a wave, or even a raising of a finger wave ( ie 4 fingers on the steering wheel, one raised, in otherwords not the "bird"), but I freeze up. I even look to see when I pass another one to see if there is some opening to say "its okay to wave", but alas not so far to date. Even the other day at the Carrara Markets down here I passed the exact same car as myself, colour etc etc, looked for a sign of acknowledgement, but nothing. Having written this it now makes me think that perhaps others feel the same and in hindsight had I taken the chance and waved, then perhaps they would, with a sense of relief waved back. Who knows , however from now on I am going to raise a half wave and see what the response is, so if you are on the coast and you see me coming, wave back, please so I dont feel like a fool ops:

    Regards

    Stevo

    We have a little thing we do now when a Disco approaches i say wave at the disco, and we all get out the windows and wave and yell franticly, we certainly get some strange looks.

    Oh Lyndon, i think there's an echo i feel i've heard that reply before maybe :wink:
    Cheers Baz.
