Years ago, when the only Land Rover inthe States was a series truck, we all waved at eachother. Defender drivers pretty much wave at any old Landy, Freelander drivers are pretty friendly too, they are often funloving people just joining the ranks, might be wishing they owned something bigger, not that they need to, and don't seem to have some bone up their A$$ about being "correct" Many, if not the majority of Disco drivers don't wave, not because they're snooty, but because often, they have no idea there are other models of Land Rovers. Soccor moms think they're getting hit on, business dad's think they've got something wrong and you're trying frantically to wave them down. Classic drivers almost always wave, at other classic drivers. New Style Rangie drivers are too busy talking on their cellphone, fighting off indigestion from that power lunch, or wondering if this is the month that the mortgage and car payment are on the same day. I'm dying to see what LR3 (Series 3 Disco) drivers do. On any given day I might be driving a Defender 110, a RRC LWB or a Disco. The same people that wave to me one day, look right through me the next day. I don't wave at anybody anymore. I just give them a blink on the headlights, or occassionally, the finger.
