Obviously Mog drivers wave to one another and so do many Land Rover drivers. If I am not in my MOg, and see another one I may smile, but don't feel the urge to wave as I realise I am in another car. However, if I see a Land Rover when I am driving my old Volvo, I instinctively wave and then feel stupid when I get a blank and realise the Defender is sitting at home ! I am the only one who is stupid like this? And could it perhaps be an age thing ?

Depends on how old the Volvo is.

I tend to wave to any 'classic' car. But I am a bit loopy!  Andy

I usually give a thumbs up to any "classic" car if I see it in time.

Why not to wave to a car I like? It's friendly and I'm used to wave since my biker times.

Why not indeed. I think Mogs are one of the few cars bikers wave to.

I wave to other classics and usually get a wave back.
I've also made the mistake of waving to other Morgans while in the daily drive and got a blank.
But the acknowledgement from other classics when in the Morgan is all part of the fun of ownership.

I think that's right, on my way home from Newtown Motors on Sunday morning with the Plus 4 on a trailer, I got passed by a biker who gave me a HUGE thumbs up and an OK. Mind you the Three Wheeler really got the bikers going, they are always impressed by them.

My experience is that other classics tend to wave first so I am in the habit of waving to classics also.

I am the only one who is stupid like this? And could it perhaps be an age thing ? Same here. My daughter asked me once whether I felt stupid waving to other drivers who didn't wave back (whether in the Landy or not). I said no, because it is the car I am waving to, it's up to the other driver whether they wave back... On the subject, my G Wag front-on looks quite like a Defender and I often get waves from Landy drivers, followed by a puzzled/embarrassed look as I go past. Always wave back anyway.
