Very nice but sadly not a lot of them around to wave back at youI intend to wave at modded T5' and T6's when mine arrives, but not your average builders van.
I get lots of waves in my alternate car, us V8 Mustang owners are a friendly bunch
When I had my T25, everyone waved. I put it down to the vans are all around 30 years old so any on the road are likely to be owned by enthusiasts. Now I have a T6 I guess most are company owned with drivers who aren't bothered. Give it another 30 years and all T6 driver's Will be waving.

Strangely enough they are quite common where I live, the new RHD model, not the mega rare '65 Hardtop.
Well you both had the same engines so that's a good start

Hi all, I've recently come the the Transporter T6 world after 14 years with a 110 Defender, one of the things i miss is the Landy Wavewhenever you passed another Defender there was always a wave. I cant help myself giving a wave or thumbs up when another cherished Transporter passes but you dont often get a wave back, so am i alone or do you give a nod to another Dub when you see one?
I've still got my Defender, I enjoy the waving (I think we do it out of sympathy). Miss it when I'm in the T6 but I'd be waving all the time if I waved at every T6 round here. Think you have to work out whether it is just a work van or someone's pride & joy in which case you get a wave back!
Ditto but I’m struggling to justify keeping it due to lack of use - know I’d regret it the moment I sell it though.

When I'm in the right mood I love the landy. Or got a heavy trailer to pull or somewhere very off road to get to.

I’m a biker and we nod as we pass on the road. I used to have a motor home and MH drivers wave to each other as they pass, so I’d there a camper van nod I should be doing?
I know it’s difficult to spot which Transporter vans are actually camper conversions and not really well cared for work vans.
If there’s nothing then I propose we all do the Rock On hand To each other. If the emoji doesn’t show its the “rock on” version of the “sign of the horns”

maybe that's what lei garlands around the mirror are for?
I have recently bought and converted a 2016 T6. My last van was a 2005 T5. When I was driving around I used to give and receive loads of waves from fellow Dubbers. Since owning my T6 I've been waving at other vans but it's not being reciprocated. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Or am I being paranoid?
Nope you aren’t alone. No-one waves at me either so I have stopped! Lol
I often get waves off T6 owners, but T5 rarely wave back, in fact T4 owners seem to be the biggest wavers in the Midlands. (Unless driving a T4 gives you arm ache, and they are just getting the blood back to their hands)
