land rover waive. A thing of the past?

(1/13) > >>

the loon:
Have just seen Dave's post about land rover waives and how disco 3 owners dont seem to waive(see http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=10981&highlight= )
Daves the second person in the last few days who I have heard say this.
In this months LRO theres a letter about just this on page 25.

Is the land rover waive becoming a thing of the past?  :cry:

It came as a total shock to me when got my first landy back in jan that strange people will waive at you and flash lights. I thought it was because I was driving badly or something had /was in the process of falling off.
It wasnt untill I was told by a local independant land rover garage that "no its ok. Its a land rover thing" that I twigged that other landy drivers where waiving simply because of felowship.

Now driving around I'll always waive at people in a landy (not so much disco's or freelanders as tends to be either family's or people who wont waive back anyway)and less and less people will waive back.
Is this true all over or just up here in the north east?

Dont let the waive die out.

muddyweb:
Sadly it seems to be true all over I think.

Seems to be the exception rather than the rule now, even with the modified vehicles.

Andy.:
I'd say not.

I get waived at all the time, granted not by any new 4x4's especially LR's but the old ones yes.

I get a waive every morning from a 90.

I think it's great, and the wife often say's "do you know that person?" Which I say "no". "So why waive" she say's? "Because there're driving a Landie"  :D

Barry Scott:
I waive 4x4's all the time regardless.  Not had a waive back yet  :( but I will soldier on.

Andy.:
You keep at it Barry, one day someone will waive back even if his lights are flashing blue  :lol:
