Motorbikers have an unwritten rule where they nod or wave to fellow bikers when they pass each other. Do you think Freelander owners should have something similar? I'm thinking a crossed fingers salute. Any others?

Good question
Ive always rode motorcycles, sold my last one in Aug 10 being a cbr1100xx Blackbird, picking up a VFR800 in 2 weeks, long drive back from Yorkshire hope it isnt snowing.
The biker curtesy nod seems to have died off in recent years. I cant see Freelander owners starting to wave at each other while driving passed but since owning my car have really got into the freelander stuff and would probably stop and try to help if seing another Freelander in need of help.

as a biker and a freelander owner, i do notice a difference. seems the two breeds are total opposites. motorcyclists are friendlier and down to earth, but sorry so have to say this but people with land rovers in general seem to be snobby.
in my own defence i must admit i do stop and offer a helping hand if i see them parked at the side of the road and looking like they have broken down. it also seems that people are far less concerned for their fellow road user these days.

Come on mate, stop dreaming :doh: Just how often do you think there'll be two hippos on the road and working at the same time, other than on recovery trucks that is

How do you determine "looking like they have broken down"
If I'm parked at the side of the road I'm more than likely taking a ****, if you stop and offer help ya'll get a ****ing head butt mate.

I agree - you can always talk to another biker when parked up somewhere / anywhere.....there's a kind of 'code' - look out for one another!!!
I think it's cos bikers are in the minority and those in the minority look out for each other.
FL owners maybe in the minority, but ppl see them as 4x4's and therefore doing damage, harm, even destruction to the environment, so basically people don't give a ****e if you've broken down!!!! And they probably laugh when they drive past in their Prius or wotever light bulb they're driving.....
Apologies - had a bad day - on a rant!!!

You should, have heard from an old Korean war fighter they weared them when on guard. And it was cold there. (They only feared one thing, being shot while on guard....)

I won't be changing my mind and 'weared' is not a word
