I seen a Disco 1 overtake another D1 on a crawler lane the other week, as he pulled along side i could see him waving away at the other one, not sure the the guy being overtaken was aware of this tradition hahaha. I went to wave, then i realised i was in the Seat Exeo and not my Disco...

don't know about waving, now I am driving tiltless in the s1, people start talking to me at the traffic lights, seems even a tatty s1 like mine sparks interest, sadly none of the people have been young and fit

In the D2, most others I wave at give a bemused look at me, slightly modified ones with spot lights, snorkels or roof lights are obviously enthusiasts and return the wave. Got a big wave and smile from a young guy in Ballymena on Tuesday in a red 90 with LED lightbar.
When the sun's out it seems like it's better waving weather. The past couple of days I've been driving around and done a lot of reciprocal waving with people who look like they're enthusiasts. With windows down, there's a lot of waving arms extended outside the vehicle too.
Don't forget to wave back:bounce:

Getting a wave on the way to work always makes me smile. Sadly I have found that drivers of new Defenders; anyone wearing a suit; and commercial vehicles never wave back. Getting flashed at with a big light bar is also fab on the way home from work! Thankyou to everyone who returns my wave!! I feel I must apologise to the S1 which I overtook the other day and has since never returned my wave. Clearly I have committted some sort of Land rover crime.

everyone overtakes an s1
you need a v8 if you want to overtake in one

It's totally the other way around... Any defender that's older than 10 years never waves at a puma...

I've come to the following conclusion regarding having 'The Wave' returned.
Range Rover 0%
Freelander 2%
Defender (New style Reg) 50%
Defender (Old style Reg) 85%
Series 95%.
I drive a series so it's a bit biased in my favour. I'm sure it's different for the fender drivers. Given up on the first 3 categories to save energy[emoji112]. But I still get the odd one or two new defenders catch me out and initiate a wave. Emergency 'hand out of window' usually makes up for it as the go by. [emoji12]
