That's right. Another MINI lover.
 
Hey all! I recently bought a Pre-Certified 2007 Mini Cooper (in debt now D:) ..and this is my first car! Yayyy I'm so happy, really, even in debt! :] I don't regret getting this baby because it's just so FUN to drive! Before this I was going to swear off driving due to some slave driver experience and was about to get myself a motorcycle. I still plan to learn about riding motorcycles, however at the moment I'm enjoying being the first Mini Cooper owner in the family of Toyotas and Honda owners. :razz: Even my stepdad who is in his early 50's enjoys it when I let him drive it that is..>:]

I'm located mostly in San Jose, California and there are plenty of Mini Coopers zipping around :D..though they don't wave or honk :/

Congrats and welcome!

Just keep waving, you'll get a wave every now and again! :)

Welcome. I am a relatively new MINI owner also, and I think we missed the wave window. But I keep trying too :thumbsup:

You didn't miss the window. For me it happens about 2/5 of the time. My wife took it out for the first time and said "what is up with all the waving?"

I think the key to getting the wave is to be blonde and busty ;)

Welcome to the forum, glad you are so happy with the MINI. Waving is hit or miss now, too bad I liked the feeling of saying hello to strangers.

Welcome from down in Pasadena. I picked up my Mini a couple of weeks ago and I still sport "the grin." :grin:

I also ride bikes and my main vehicle, everyday, for several years has been my Suzuki VS1400. I still love it but the last couple of years I've been looking for a Harley. Getting the Mini just assured that I'll keep the 1400 in top shape...Mini being a tad more practical than a Harley.

Bikers wave almost at a 100% ratio. I thought Mini riders would too, but they don't seem to, well, unless you're B&B. :lol:
