Around here, Land Rover owners are mostly mall moms who barely drive their beautiful boats more than an inch off the pavement when they're not crashing. They're more concerned that the cup holder rattles and disturbs their concentration on the latest Brittany Spears scandal on the news than whether someone else is driving a Land Rover. I never got a single wave or sign of recognition when I had mine, even between people at the dealership. Alfa Romeo drivers here do the "flash headlights, wave" thing on the road though. I always wondered whether it was a salute to say "Press on, buddy!" or "I sympathize with your misfortune, fellow sufferer!" such it is. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
