i honestly didnt know there was an etiquete to the landy owners wave and im surprised the rules resemble the derived caravan owners wave wich me dad tought me when i was bout 10 and this thread has answered my chicken and egg question it was the landy wave that came first as the caravan wave came in during the 60s so me dad sezThought I'd drag this thread out again as we've had several new peeps since first post.
Thought a double wave was pretty cool but this morning had a whole truck full of peeps waving, flashing lights and horn honking.
Had that butt clenching feeling that summat was wrong at first LOL
Reaserching wave etiquette, i did a search (ffs!) and low.......
However, from my days driving an old V dub camper, I feel the wave is largely a kind of shared bond, between fellow owners, who know the joys and yes heataches too, of keeping such a vehicle on the road.
Therefore, should one wave at people in new landys? Never taken off road and certainly never been serviced or repaired by the current driver.
I think you need to earn your wave through graft and dedication. Blood blisters, cut noggins and engine oil on your favorite party shirt. Late for work, driving in the dark without lights and definately a non working rear wiper at the very least. Oh, and one or two wet patches about the person following a short drive in the rain. You can't just go and buy the right to a wave with a spare 20k.
Perhaps new vehicle owners (and I'm only realy referring to Defers here.), can get a sort of trainee, stick with it lad, you can make it, kind of intro half wave
thats spookily close to me when i thought about it....I'm not a smiler by choice, but i would like to add that with most waves ( def/series ofc ) then it usually goes along with the closed mouth smile and possible slight nod.
these colder times result in the wave actually staying attached to the wheel and raising 3-4 fingers with a nod and a quick scan of the vehicle
I think that you have a right to the wave by right of ownership
for the p38 would say yeah, the jeep would be more a point an laff....I have no intention of taking my p38 off road. Have a bettered jeep for that. But i do my own work, or atleast try to. Do i qualify for atleast an apprentice wave?
