Waving.... by Fronty81 on Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:04 pm
OK, I'm doing a few lanes down here, and I must have passed like 3 or 4 maybe even 5 or 6 Fronteras of one shape or another.
I waved at them all, but not a single person waved back!
Misrible sods! :evil: :evil:

So does anyone wave back, or am I just wasting my time... :?: :?:

I wave @ Series A and B, LWB, or Sport models... But no-one waves back.. :( ever... :(

Please tell me someone does wave back... : :lol: :lol:

An acknowledge back is a rarity same is true for LR drivers, its not like it was 20 years ago, you must have a good technique Carl…. Omg what have I said now…. :oops:

Re: Waving.... by gregster on Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:03 am
Hi,

landrover owners will always wave back to anyone in a 4x4, as they know that they are always only 10 minutes away from breaking something and may need towing home or extracting!!!

I know, I've got a 90 and it breaks every time I use it! Its sat on my drive for ages now needing yet another rear diff and pair of halfshafts!!Piece of junk they are....Just cos the army use them and they can be dropped out of planes doenst make them good....not using a parashute with them would be good!! Now theres an idea, we should have defeated the Taliban by dropping Landrovers on em...for larger targets you could use a wolf130"!!

Jap 4x4's rule, they love abuse and keep coming back for more.....and more....and more still!!

As to other fronty owners not waving back....I received some very disapproving looks from some pipe smoking, cap wearing fronty owners when my yellow fronterror first hit the streets....that was after they finally realised it was a frontera.
It was almost like they thought I had defaced a work of art or something!!

I only did to it what vauxhall should have in the first place....!!??
