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. 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 :/

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

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."

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.
