Over the past few weeks I have driven Sydney to Armidale and back and then Sydney to Tweed Heads and back meaning the best part of 2,500km i think.
I think I waved at pretty much every LR I passed. I think I got 2 waves back.
My wife and kids think it is a bit sad but it gives me a laugh and hopefully like the original poster gives the other drivers the impetus to start to wave as well.
Regards,
George
As Tombie says I wave to all LR's old and new!! Nothing wrong with showing a bit of comeodery entwine owners!!
As a relatively new RRS owner (new owner of an older RRS ;)) I tried the wave at every Landy I passed whilst in the Vic NE during summer.
Not one! Not a single one over the space of 10 days. The wife and kids had a ball laughing at me.
I remember when my Dad got his first Pajero and there were waves all over the place. Stupid Pajero's. I owned one once. I hated it. People reckon Land Rovers are unreliable! Own a Pajero. That's pain right there. Not to mention the name translating in Spanish to a certain pass-time.
Still, it's not going to put me off. I'm heading to the Snowy Mountains in a few weeks and I'll be waving at every Landy I see on the trip.
Yep, I always wave regardless of model.
I wave when I realize its a landy. Was down at beachport for new year and got waves from almost all d1's and d2's about 7 or so, not one from a d3 or d4 (didn't see any defenders). Personally I think you'll get a wave from an enthusiast, someone who loves and works on their landy. Still doesn't hurt to wave!:D

Agreed, I wave all the time.Quote:

Much of the soccer mum crowd are doing well to notice you are there ...let alone identify another Land Rover :angel:
As a Defender driver :D I always wave at all models of Landies, as others have said, much to the amusement of my partner. Sometimes it gets a responce :D, sometimes it does'nt :(. But you never know just who you might meet, or where it might lead you in the long run, and it could all be because of just raising an acknowledging finger. ;)
I've only had one good wave from a D4,,,, thanks Mike (Tombie). :D
But at Mt Gambier the other day, we spoke with a D4 enthusiast, hopefully soon to get a bit more involved with the forum here :D
The more you wave, the more the rest of us will get back as well, and as said previously, "smiles are free".
Quite a few D3-4/RR owners must get quite a shock when my ugly mug starts waving at them at the lights and passing etc :eek:,,, but I wont stop,,,, :cool:
Always wave at other LRs in the country... City you just get weird looks. RRS is even more soccor mum stigma'd than the D3/D4!
I was pleased when another white RRS driver waved at me, for a change I wasn't the initiator of the wave...
i always wave regardless of the landrover! im in a D2, i dont always get a wave back but ill keep on waving :)
Thanks for the responses. I usually acknowledge any country driver, as I am originally from the country - drives my wife nuts - so from now on I will wave at any LR.
