That's disapointing! Seems you picked a good target, but still nothing!

In the city these would need to be targetted waves. I find when touring a wave is a lot more common. I have had one other d4 driver start a conversation after passing on the UHF on Kings Way actually helped me out as I had missed my turn. Otherwise conversations at rest stops and servos and camp sites are great and I have found most d4 owners will strike up a conversation and why not we have all seen the light and every owner I meet seems to have the permagrin.
I'll need to keep an eye out for waves as I am near Mac Uni and I think I know of the car you are referring to is it white by any chance?
Hope it wasn't me.:( I usually notice Discos, especially modded ones.
I'll always wave at a modded Disco or any Defender or Series around town, but otherwise don't bother anymore. Try and wave at every Landy out of town though.
We've all got to keep this up. One day we'll pass each other and finally get a wave returned.
Cheers,

I had better responses in my D3, but it was still an enthusiast car back then :D
Now in my D4 I wave to any series Disco, and all Defenders - I have better responses from D1, D2 and Defenders than I do D3's and D4's.
Even when I know there is a soccer mum driving a D4 I wave - because that's the rules.
98% of RR drivers got the car because they thought it would make them look important, so they won't want to associate with riffraff in Disco's ;)
Tried waving at a D4 pulled up at lights as I turned left into his street but didn't get a wave back. Then I noticed he was looking in the back:p
I always give it a go.!
I waved at 2 D2s and 2 Defenders ( a loaded up 110, and a 130). So four separate occasions. Nothing back. Maybe it's that plasticy nudge bar...
During two weeks touring from Sydney to Melrose (for the Land rover show, lots of waves around there:D), on up through the Flinders to Arkaroola, across to Cameron Corner and back to Sydney via Broken Hill , Menindee, Ivanhoe and Parkes. I waved to Land Rovers of all persuasions, even got replies from RRs and Defenders. Also plenty of waves and replies from other makes. The only wave not returned was a D4 (on the way in to Arkaroola from Balcanoona), steely look straight ahead:o.

Try it from a Freelander! They ALL ignore you!!!
