    Ok, stuff the lot of you, don't wave to the Defender!

    Thought I'd put a nice eye catching title in

    You wouldn't believe how many people won't wave at us on the open road!!!!

    To top it all off we've passed:
    1 Defender - waved (L plates too)
    2 D1's - no waves
    1 D3 - no wave
    2 Rangies - no waves
    1 Freelander - no wave

    Hoping now we're out of Toyota territory we might see a few more friendly drivers on the road. I would say only 30% of those we pass wave back. What's happening to this country!

    Not sure I would wave, but I'll be certain to look down on you from my Unimog

    Hi to you both, glad to hear you're travelling safely.

    Probably is the tinted windows as it's difficult to see the driver sometimes. Just roll down your window and give a BIG wave. Sadly most Disco drivers don't wave at Defenders (so we have found anyhow).

    Mind you, when you get into Western Qld. EVERYONE seems to wave.

    Keep on waving....

    ...and enjoy your holiday.

    With that sort of attitude you'd be right at home on a Toyota Land-Cruiser forum.

    We Land Rover drivers may not be as high and mighty as UniMog drivers, but we get there faster and a whole lot cheaper.

    dm td5 - I wave at any (and as much as possible all) Defender, Disco, Rangie or Series in whichever Rangie or Series I'm driving at the time. So I'll give you 3 proxy waves just so you're not too demoralised.

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

    Funny thing is I get heaps of waves from Toyatas and Nissans now my 120 has 35's, Bull bar and snorkel. The Rangies and Discos just seem to wonder what I'm waving at Some Land Rover owners just dont get it at all

    To be honest I don't even bother unless it's a defender. I get pretty much 100% success in the fender too.

    Every now an again I'll try some of the old classic stuff and get results

    Oh almost forgot to mention the tossers from a 4WD group (displayed proudly across their windscreens). Driving offensively, Chattering obnoxiously and... well you get the message. Generally the type that gives 4wd's a bad name
