its a snobbery thing with unmodded Discos most of em drive with nose in air -god knows why there s not much status to a 10 yr old landy, series peeps are more down to earth type s allmost all wave , newDefenders well most of em are yuppies(remember them) they buy their MUD from salis bury plain and are not about to wave at some one who uses their landy for what it was intended for , probably out of embaressment. me! im a jeepster i will wave at anyone who s haveing a go. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I normally find that it is series or 90/100 drivers that wave, don't know what it is about some disco drivers but they don't normally bother even if i wave first.

DIE BOK · « **Reply #37 on:** August 19, 2005, 22:28:20 »

I get regular waves from Disco's, Defenders, Rangies and generally most Series models too......Never been waved at by a S3 :roll:

I think its great :D .....We only wave at each other for simpathy

cstokes · « **Reply #38 on:** August 19, 2005, 22:29:36 »

Just got a wave off a nice young lady in a new D3.

Gobsmacked. I nearly forgot to wave back. I really wasn't expecting it. Newer Landies seem to ignore you. Especially the ones with the PSX fitted sa standard :)

S3..........She was after you ED, not the Landy :twisted:

I get occasional waves, from Defenders mostly, now I have the snorkel on the Discovery. (The roofrack means you could be a commercial user, but the snorkel seems to give credibility as an off-roader.)

In Iceland we waved at all the other Land Rovers, but only the non-Icelandic ones ever waved back. (Icelanders aren't the most emotionally demonstrative of people :) )

In the 101 you usually get looks of blind panic from the oncoming traffic - the drivers are too busy trying to get out of the way to wave :shock:

thermidorthelobster · « **Reply #41 on:** August 19, 2005, 22:38:44 »

Equally, by the way, I tend to wave at Defenders, but not so much at Discoveries, because Discovery drivers tend just to look puzzled. Again, the exception is usually Discoveries with snorkels.

J2O · « **Reply #42 on:** August 19, 2005, 22:39:49 »

I don't think the wave is becoming anything less. However I've only being driving our 90 full time for the past 6 months. Since then I've carefully been cultivating a small group of wavers. I'm quite proud that I've now got several surly farmers who wave every day. (I'm still working on the industrial crew and the local army boys). Tomorrow I'm picking up my Disco so I'll have to see what reaction I get then.

Bulli · « **Reply #44 on:** August 20, 2005, 09:05:40 »

I seem to get plenty of waves. I dont usualy waive to non modded disco's though as they dont seem to get it. Nearly all series and defenders/counties waive back. I think the mods help and the fact it looks like a monster truck.
I went to the local shopping centre yesterday and got lots of stares!! One family stopped putting their shopping in the boot to gawp!
I hope waving doesnt die out as it has been much of the expierience for a very long time. I got more waives 10 years ago in my v8 series 3 though.....wonder where she is now???

having just come back from the french alps waving at other landrovers happens over there too, as well as people standing and looking at our disco's (mine and arightpest and all the other people that was there)

hrh_dave · « **Reply #50 on:** August 21, 2005, 15:31:22 »

Even although I have a DS2 with snorkel and lots of stickers I wave at other landies- series, 90/110 etc etc and get a very limited response especially round east lothain edinburgh way but when Im down south you seem to have more of a chnace of being waved at.

just my 2penneth worth.

I was out with a group today, 2 x Land Rover and 6 x Shogun/Pajero. I did spot an oncoming Shogun driver wave. maybe it isnt just a Land Rover thing.....

Horness · « **Reply #52 on:** August 21, 2005, 22:27:39 »

After getting my first wave and re-assuring "nod" from an on-coming Disco driver the day I bought mine, I started waving.

That was 4 years ago. Locally, not many replies, however recently things are looking up. I get a few waves, a couple of nods, a blank stare and a number of birds.

I'm wearing them down. :twisted:

the loon · « **Reply #53 on:** August 21, 2005, 23:24:13 »

was out green laning today (3 modified 90's) and got waved from 3 other 90's and a 110(I was the person who waved 1st). Nothing from 2 90's and a series nothing from any disco's either

barmiebrumie · « **Reply #54 on:** August 24, 2005, 14:09:32 »

I have a Jeep, so no one waves at me :( Not even the other Grand Cherokee's that I see about.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know what you mean :) In Tazman's Disco we wave at all Land Rovers (old, modified ones I mean). But now I drive a Jeep (not a Freelander) - a big fat zero wave

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #56 on:** August 24, 2005, 20:53:36 »

Must say round here I rarely get a wave off a newer Grand or KJ Cherry
Wranglers n XJ Cherry's no problem ditto sorted Landys :D

the loon · « **Reply #57 on:** August 24, 2005, 22:24:18 »

Was waved at by nice shiny mod'ed 110 today in newcastle. Unfortunatly was on a roundabout at the time so couldnt wave back
:(

j99mud · « **Reply #58 on:** August 24, 2005, 22:38:59 »

I Drive my reasonbly modded 90 300tdi and always waive at other defenders , series and the odd disco if it is modded. I find the further north i go the less people wave back but i carry on waiving and flashing the lights regardless, my mates always ask "who was that" they now understand that "its a landy thing" keep waiving after all it is a landy thing!!!!!

jjsaul · « **Reply #59 on:** August 25, 2005, 00:43:16 »

i always wave to series / 90 / 110 / defender and also modded disco's and rangies.

most of the time i get a wave / flash of lights back apart from util / famers.
