Surely not.

For the reason Diffwhine said.

And for the reason that we will be acknowledging every single car on the road.

Even Jeeps!🙃

My own waves to real l/rs ie series 1 2 3 4 & rangies are always done on site of any of them,but only when not manuvering ,also a nod will go along with it with a smile.

Happy thoughts and the feel good factor will follow.

Little lads always wave and love it when you wave back. You can hear them say to their Dads -  Look Dad, an army truck!

A lady from the balkans who lived next door to a friend of mine referred to my 88 truck cab as an army truck.

I must admit initially I took it as an insult at first.

Must have been lost in translation.

Serious Series

I get lots of waves from other landrovers local to me , but also acknowledge all classic cars in the area.
I think a lot depends on the area you live in the UK.

Years ago in my usefully employed time as a long distance artic driver , i sometimes took one of my children along .
To keep him or her occupied we would count all series landrovers spotted,it worked a treat.
South wales up as far as Aberdeen up to around 100 give or take.
Cab height was a big advantage being able to see over walls and hedges .
I had a clip board for notes that had a stickers from landrover international and landrover enthusiast on the back that laid  in front at the windscreen,I have had a few waves,thumbs up,toots and loads of landrovers drivers and passengers.
Question: what's the difference between a smile and a grin.
Answer: smile when seen and grin when driving a landrover.

A big thank you to all club workers respect to you all for all you do for our club.
And now a merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all, stay safe.

I like the smile grin distinction Len.

I had both the other day, I could scarcely believe my eyes and had to pull up turn around and go back and gawp.
