At least you didn't ask how many fingers they were wavingbefore anyone else starts,
is that because the seas rough....
or is it a good dogging site....

I was about to start a thread about waving etiquette, being a recent 90 owner. In my (limited) experience, newer defenders/ discoveries don't wave, or even glance in your direction. My first waver was an old disco, kind of a respectful, serious 'yep. We are indeed the chosen.' Some waves are more enthusiastic than others. The most animated, cheery ones are from older vehicles, I have found

Find that 90% of defender owners will give a wave, from my experience the following 10% generally don't bother.......owners of spankly new models and those who use them for a living.

Had always been of the opinion that there was no wave too wild
I was wrong.
Got waved to by a very enthusiastic Defender driver the other day....... both hands

Ha ha. I've found myself doing the same thing when I drive my works van.
I get the look of ' wtf? Do I know you?'

Did a spot of waving this afternoon on the way from Derby to Leicester. There were several defenders about and all responded, especially one with a roof rack covered in lights just as I was coming back into town. It's all alive and well in the East Midlands.

I can report that on my daily trek up the Cynon Valley I've now achieved a wave conversion rate of 100% when in Drover. Not quite as high when I'm in the mundane, because some of my waves don't know the car.
I have a regular 'crew' of wavees and a real hardcore of 'alright'ers if the traffic is slow enough.
Life is good - I just wish this airlock would feck off.

He might think he's pulled
Doubt it I'm old enough to be his mother
Maybe he likes the older more experienced type [emoji41]
I'm old, who said anything about experienced?! :lol:
