    the wave?

    Ok so do we wave to each other? I mean D3/4/RRS on the road? I thought it was a Defender thing - not taking anything away from it, I actually think it is awesome.

    I was driving to Murrumbateman, from Canberra, yesterday arvo in my D3 and I spotted a brand new White D4, with a LR bar, coming the other way Nd before I knew it he waved. I felt embarrassed as I had only responded after he passed.. it could be the previous owner of my car however.

    By the way, I love the VIP access for Land Rovers at Brumbies matches at GIO Stadium. Tried it yesterday. Awesome.

    Most D3/D4s are being driven by soccer mums who don't know what brand of car they are even driving so I no longer wave - little point.

    I've been giving it a go with hit and miss results. The only guaranteed hit, is my wife laughing when I don't get a wave back

    Agree with country yes, city not so much.

    Will keep putting out there in-spite/because of, the wife's chuckling.

    I have kept an eye out for fellow LR drivers since taking delivery of my first LR late last November after reading a similar thread before purchase. City experience only, but not a hint of recognition let alone a wave or raising a finger or two off the steering wheel. Most seem to be staring straight ahead.

    Similar experiences. In the country pretty good results, but way out there it doesn't matter what make you drive, you can get a wave.

    City have tried it with deefers but most will not recognize that a a Disco is a real Land Rover and won't return, and most Disco drivers don't get it either but some times if you see one with some mods you can get a return.

    It's not a Defender wave, it's a Landy wave

    I get mixed results in the city... but pretty good "return" wave rate in the country... maybe if more people waved to each other the world would be a better place... maybe...

    What's it hurt

    City,country,series,Rangie Vogue,Disco 1234, Freelander, Evoque, I figure it can't hurt to show a little friendship anywhere anytime.

    Having just moved back to Sydney after years of country life & touring I reckon the city folk could use all the friendliness they can get

    What's it hurt & as a young disabled man once commented " SMILE ITS FREE "

    Regards Chris & Bess ( the one that makes me smile )
