Defender Wave

#1

Post by icemanza »

So I have to ask. Do old Defender owners wave at new Defender drivers? And do new Defenders wave back or know why they are being waved at?

New models' don't wave to old models and old models don't wave to new models. As far as I know.
But Wrangler owners, old and new wave to each other.

Or something like that.

That is because there is nothing special about a FJ.

Our little trip to the coast yesterday i observed 2 things:
- New Defenders try to travel as fast as possible. Upwards of 130 kph.
- No old Defenders on the highway. Too cold? Dont do highways?
