would you stop ???

[clean32]

If you spotted a Land rover on the side of the road, bonnet up. Would you stop?

I would and do, even helped a Peroxide blond locate the spear wheel in a D3 ( I didn’t know where it was, read the hand book)

Well today 3 white D3 2 silver D2 and 1 D1 didn’t. Disco owners Take note.

I'll stop for most cars with the bonnet up. regardless of make.

[dullbird]

not everyone that drives a disco is a member of the land rover society a lot of people seem to forget that they are sometimes a car of choice for city people along with range rovers......

So just because they choose to drive that car doesn't mean that automatically have to pull over for someone to help just because they drive the same model......

half of them probably have no idea what sort of following their car has, they just brought it because its seen as a luxury item, or its comfy or it tows their very big boat well! maybe even there horses.

If someone pulls over that really nice regardless of the model.......But it shouldn't be expected IMHO

One may consider the peroxide blonde had something to do with this.....

Id stop but then again im a S,N,A,G Defender driver ,Oh i thought all defender driver.s were

[Blknight.aus]

For me it comes down to time and location

generally I'll stop for anyone if any of the following apply

• they are in a dangerous position and I am equiped to get them to a safer place or make the situation safer for them
• they are stuck on some back track and there is very little other traffic
• there is no hope of reliable communications
• there is an accident/injury and the situation is not already in hand

If I have time up my sleeve and Im going in the same direction I stop for most people unless the situation appears to be under control which I asses by giving them the thumbs up or the ok hand sign.

If Im low on time I curtail it to people who are in obvious distress, which includes the elderly, people with very young kids/ babies and hot blondes with short skirts and low cut tops. Landie drivers get the thumbs up/Ok hand signal and I still slow down enough so that if someone needs help they can signal me and then I'll stop..

I generally do not stop for our darker bretheren due to a nasty experience in the NT nor do I stop for people who deserve to be removed from the gene pool unless one of the points in the list applies.

I've had two instances of this kind in the last fortnight.
1) A D2 was stranded on Pennant Hills rd with what turned out to be a bung fuel pump. One bloke in a D2 had already stopped, I pulled up as well since I had tools etc if necessary around the corner at home - oh, I was driving my Hiace at the time
2) D1 Disco broken down at the start of the M4 at Strathfield, I couldn't stop safely without causing mayhem & just a shocking spot with everyone powering up - he was on an onramp island on the left & I was on the RH lane.

I've always known it to be so to stop & help - it's part of our culture.

That about sums it up pretty well for me too, but must admit that I'm probably more likely to stop for a Landrover in circumstances where I might not so readily stop for another brand.

[dullbird]

we stopped for everyone that we saw on our trip up north........especially when it was remote

but generally in day to day driving.....it depends on the situation like dave said above....for everything else theres the NRMA

[fatcat]

id stop for another defender forshore, and any car if they waved me down if i felt no thret to my family

but, it sucks when the defenders dont wave. But the big waves back make up for the other slackers. i know i miss some even, my 2 year son waves in his baby chair. cheers all
