    I eventually caught up, hard to do in an NA Isuzu.

    I thought it might be the right thing to do too so I talked to her again this time I specified that I ment a ride in the car.

    I got 1/5 of a wave before the supercharger wound up faster than the windows.
    That's the LR spirit. If they don't wave back, hunt 'em down and talk about Land Rovers until they give in.

    Cheers

    Only if you have 5 fingers on your hand, I have 4 plus one thumb per hand.

    Waving

    I wave at every landy, rangie, defer that I see on the road around here .... sad to say that i don't get a huge return rate. I even get my 3 y.o. daughter to wave, she is starting to recognise them.

    This will not stop me though, I will continue to wave, i must say though that when you do get a return it makes my day (pretty pathetic life then hey). Ah, it's all fun .......

    I drive mainly between the CBD and Patterson Lakes, I'm in a epsom green Disco .......

    got the best wave ever to date. Heading out of Murwullimbah after our tour towards the Pac hway I spotted a 110 wagon heading towards us. As soon as they realised we were a defender the passenger starts waving enthusiastically, still 150 yards away then as we get closer the driver pitches in to help. Had to raise the rand off the wheel to return this one. A wave like that leaves a better feeling and lasts longer than any of that crap they were trying to sell us in Nimbin. Cheers guys, who ever you are you made my weekend.

    Well I did my own survey on Monday this week and have uncovered a very sad fact.

    While it seems that you can get waves from Series, County's and Defenders, the occasional RR classic or Disco and rarely from the later models. The drivers of any Land Rover model outside built up areas never wave at night.

    In all my years of driving LR products I can never remember getting a wave from another LR at night where there were no street lights. Even driving a cross-eyed Series LR and approaching another cross-eyed Series LR no wave.

    What is it about these nocturnal LR drivers?

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

    I've noticed this too. I ended up thinking it was just me. Dunno why, maybe it's the debbil torch under my chin while I wave, just to be sure they see me.
