No we don't wave... It's a Defender thing, not a Freelander thing

I waved at someone once and she waved back - well I think it was a wave.

It's a pity it isn't a Freely thing... It's rare to see a Freely, so it's nice when one pulls up at the traffic lights.

Although here in Athens hand gestures are reserved for offensive communication only  2013 SE TD4 in Mauritius Blue [Written off]

Used to acknowledge other Impreza drivers when I owned mine, but then I bought a Forester and such acknowledgement didn't exist, even though it was a rarer beast.

never thought that i would want to wave at someone else that owns the same car, seems strange thing to do, if you ask me

Oh the same trainers ..... best wave
That blokes got the same jeans..... best wave
looks the same coloured hair..... best wave
that blokes as fat....oh wait its a woman..... best wave

why would you do it to another car owner  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

npinks from your above post ..... are we to deduce 'you are into fat women' ??

I still mourn the fact that AA men are now in vans not motorbike and sidecar combos. Can still remember the leather gauntlet salute if you proudly positioned your chrome AA badge on the front of your car. Ah yes they were the days before elf and safety intervened. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

We used to wave when I had my MGBGT, also to other older MGs. Also experienced it with Morris Minors and Motor caravans (campervans). Especially VW campers, older the better.

Does anyone else get confused by the similarity from a frontal distant view between the Fl2 and Disco Sport. Dave

Nope, they look totally different.
Now Discovery Sport, Discovery 5, Velar, Range Rover Sport, all from the same jelly mould  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

That'll be me for Specsavers, then!!

I think you will mostly get ignored or get puzzled looks while these are still mainstream everyday family cars and the vast majority of drivers are not Landrover or indeed Freelander enthusiasts.
As the ownership demographic changes, when the original owners have sold on and moved to their latest car the remainder will be either using a second hand car OR, enthusiasts who realize what they like and are friendly towards those of a similar disposition.
I noticed the same when I bought my Disco 2, one of the last of line models which at that time was 3 years old. Nobody acknowledged or replied to a wave, unless the recipient was driving an obviously modified or personalized car. As it aged and became less common other users were more likely to spare wave and a thought for a fellow sufferer.

T4, your 'orange' vehicle is actually coded as Tambora Flame paint Code: LRC 810

It was the launch colour of the Freelander 2.

Also the 'Clay Model' at Gaydon was sprayed the same colour ........ but interestingly was fitted with NAS Head Lamps. ??? why ???
