Thread: Disco drivers dont wave

    Disco drivers dont wave

    I used to drive a rangy-and it was like being a club member with waves at each one passing --I have been disappointed to find that now driving a disco, this rarely happens. Why is this so?
    Come on disco drivers-do you wave to discos?

    Lindsay,

    We did this post a couple of mths ago...but I wave to everything LR

    Get little response back around town- they're all shopping carts, school taxis or ego rides

    But i still wave!!!

    Although I do miss most of the Freelanders (sorry folks) - most of their drivers - don't even know they've got a LR & they don't really stand out - so they're gone by the time I see them

    Don't do it - it's worth the frustration for the gratification of the one wave you get back!!! I pass 2 disco's every morning and wave, they used to - now they look at me like "would this ****** stop waving at me"

    So I wave even more!!!

    Pedro, I actually saw the Bub91 mobile, heading Nth on the Bruce past the Narangba turnoff Friday week ago - but you were 5 lanes and a gully away!!!!

    I have found that most RR and Defenders wave to each other. Only about 25% of Disco drivers wave to any other LRs inc Disco's.
    A lot depends on situation, it happens that I miss waving some times for various reasons.
    Usually if I cant wave or miss my wife and kids do.

    This ol subject :wink: , Im a random waver now, or at least a raised finger, I wave at most Landies I see around coast and on my occasional sojourns up to Brissie. Good with the sunroof, as sometimes people dont see me wave ( eh Bolts ) cause of the black car, dark tint etc, but the wave is there,

    Regards

    Stevo
