Having just bought my 96 300 tdi LWB another defender, a friend of mine said, if you pass another defender you should always hi beam each other ...is this so...(hope so)
and another question I have is "i want to add my landy photo to my profile, how do i make it 100 x 150 pixels", cause i see a few of you have yours up as an avatar ? Thanks Fellow landy Andy's  |

I always wave (headlight flash sometimes if feeling particularly friendly)
To set your avatar, upload the picture you (via the buttons under the message box or the gallery). Then go to the gallery, find the picture and click "Set as my avatar" in the block below the photo.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

If I do flash (like Martin says, usually a wave), I make sure the spotlight button is off first - don't want to blind a fellow Defenderer

I do if it looks like an enthusiast.
However, there's a lot of farmers near me and they just go...... Craig Rogers

No definitely a UK thing.
Most owners wave and flash but most (not all as some are also enthusiasts) farmers just have them as a tool so don't appreciate the following. Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

there's one near here that is a fairly new td5 which is not greatly looked after. Even has different tyre treads on it.

I've seen a couple of Pumas come up for sale locally that have had a good valet, but you can see that they've had a hard life. As you say, usually with all sorts of different tyres on, reversing dents, bits missing, rusting...... Craig Rogers

Long live the wave! Makes me feel good when you receive a wave from a fellow defender owner

Thats it - as a new-B to this forum & site, I think it should be Compulsory for all defender 90's & 110's to flash at each other (but from your vehicle and lights only) and not walking down the street, well you know where I'm going ... so yea...who will 2nd that proposal ????
