Thread: the wave?

So, some poor D4 with van driver who was stopped on the Corydon - Normanton road thinks I'm mad.
He was pulled well off the road standing on a mound & looked like he was waiting for the Gulflander to go past when I drove past, hit the horn & waved like mad.
Give him his due he did manage to wave back though I was all but past by then.


Most folks in Landies around the Atherton Tablelands probably also think I'm mad! I keep forgetting I'm driving the wife's Delca most the time when home but still wave happily (nearly wrote gaily) to all LR's.

I am sure some defender drivers may think Disco drivers are gay.

I will definitely be in your 2% and I agree with others that Country v. City is very noticeable. Another good reason to move to the country.


Listening to Alan Jones this morning, he was bemoaning the lack of manners and personal interaction between people these days. Everyone has an iPhone attached to their ears or their eyes are magnetised to the ground. We need to walk around with our heads up, make eye contact and SMILE! Stress will be relieved and it would keep us out of doctor's waiting rooms or dare I say it, coffins.

I sold my houseboat last month and while travelling up river all passing boats waved. Perhaps it's a holidays thing. Mind you, we used to sing a song to the hire boats something like "You have to give it back, ha ha."


When towing our caravan, the wave seems to be more prevalent, again maybe a holidays thing, although I towed with a BMW X5 and the non return of waves was very amusing to my wife. Motorhomers seem to have their fingers Super Glued to the steering wheel though.


I always wave to Police and Ambos but that's an "old habits die hard" thing. Return waves are surprisingly high.

A lot of Discos around Bowral,no return waves yet,been working this area for a week and a half. Kero

Got two waves from Defenders today. One this morning in West Perth from a guy in a bronze one and another on the way home in Mosman Park from a white one.

I drove to South Australia last week and back this week. 2400km and I got 4 return waves from Defenders (out of 4), 2 waves from D3s (out of 3), and only 1 from a D4 (out of 4).

This SA D4 always waves!

Had a gold d3 wave at me today as we were returning from two rocks WA, caught me a bit of guard but I managed to give a quick wave back.. Must say it was great to see the wave! If the guy is on here -
Cheers!!
