So, i'm driving around in my 'new to me' 110 CSW and I'm exchanging waves with all the other Defender owners i pass. Feeling good, like i've just joined some secret society like the Templars or Iluminatii.
Now, I get a gaylander driver trying to exchange a wave with me. I hesitated slightly and then ignored them.
Is this the right thing to do?? What is correct Landrover etiquette??
I know they must already feel depressed having to look at what they could have had. Is not waving just compounding their woes?
Please help me out.

:lol: you are meant to look straight into there eyes and slowly shake your head, whilst giving a look of pity.

The correct wave for a Gaylander driver is the one pioneered by Harvey Smith in the 1970's.

In the area around Liskeard, St Ive, St Cleer and Quethiock, blue Vivaro vans are honourary Defenders and should be acknowledged in the appropriate way.

If the one at the gaff right opposite the church is yours, it's very very nice!

That's me. Just looking for somewhere to get it dirty.

Bush Farm at Hatt is the nearest P&P.
There's a few nice lanes around too.

I'll give a toot when I'm passing tomorrow - I'm working in Quethiock at the moment.

"Landrover rules and regulations, section 16a

It is the law that when passing, following, seeing from a distance or otherwise in the same vicinity a gaylander you must:

1, hurl abuse
2, laugh uncontrollably
3, shake your head or fist.
4, look in the opposite direction.

You may combine all or any of the above as is necessary to convey the utter disgust at their choice of landrover vehicle. You may also ignore their cries for help and pass them off as some sordid male on male action that you don't want to get involved in.

Please note if you see a gaylander crashed and there is no noise from the occupants you can assume they are beyond rescue and ring 999.

Please do not encourage use, purchase or any interaction with gaylander a or their occupants/owners.

The main thing to remember is we, landrover, did not expect people to buy this car. We were all ****ed at the time of design and thought it would be a laugh to build a car that homosexual men could take cottageing. Never did we think it would be sold in any number. We regret our actions but have made a lot of people with real landrovers laugh."

Thay are the rules from the official landrover owners rule book so there you go

That's rule 16b

Rule 16b

When confronted with a gaylander or its occupant and you have no where else to go such as a narrow road or pavement, you may run over the fecking thing. If you do have somewhere to go it is at the operators discretion but it is recommended that you run over the fecking thing.

If the gaylanders occupant fall from the gaylander and cries for help it is suggested but not compulsory to reverse over the fecking thing. You may also shoot the fecking thing, stone the fecking thing or beat the fecking thing.

This list of things you can do to the fecking thing is not exhaustive and operators of real landrover may submit things to to to the fecking thing to us at anytime.

It's all covered by the rules!

Not a concern to gaylander drivers. After all its april showers. Theres a few puddles around.

The trouble is, he wasn't trying to wave at you, he was trying to engage you into agreeing to go dogging with him and his men bitches, if you had returned the wave he would have immediately turned around, followed you home then tried to initiate you into the gaylander dogging society

I think the waving is the equivalent of the jovo's knocking on the door!

Once they have got you your in for life!
