Hi everyone:

My first Mini will be arriving by the end of the month and I am planning to wave or flash at every Mini that comes my way .

I don't care if they wave back or not .

I hope some of the new owners will do the same.

Is there a special wave?

 

Soon to be new owner and already an old owner. I wave to all.
I even wave to Mini's when I'm in my GTO. Drives my wife nuts and the other guy probably thinks so as well.

Tough. I'm waving!

 

I hope you get some waves right away. I can feel your excitement.
LA can be a little tough for waves because many of the Mini drivers have the car for the gas mileage and not the fun.
No special wave that I know off. I usually put a big hand out the window.

 

Yup same here. If the window is open it's out the side. If the widow is closed it's a two handed wave with the knees steering the car. LOL

 

I am a new owner and I wave like a lunatic!

 

@PatM You are toooo funny. Way to go.

@quikmni Yeah, the LA drivers might be a little bit more stuck up, but I intend to break them one by one.

@Denco Darlin' Good job!!

 

I'm in L.A. And even though I wave no one ever waves back. I did do the cool 'Whattup?' nod- you know, when you toss that chin up once? I did get that one returned. How about a mini nod, Miniacs?

 

@ohpaula. That's so bad and not nice. I hope we ever cross paths, 'cause I'll give you the biggest wave you've ever seen.

 

I live in the DC area, and if you heard the news today, Allstate released it's 7th annual list of the best and worst drivers in the US. My fair area of the world made NUMBER ONE (DEAD LAST) as the USA's worst drivers. Baltimore, the city to the north made RUNNER UP! So my commute is putting life in your own hands.

So while I hope I will wave, I suspect I will do what I almost always do, drive assuming that every person I can see in front of me, in my rear view mirror, and side mirrors are, AT ANY SECOND, going to slam on my breaks, or slam into me!!!

 

I will wave to other minis but I prefer to give the duces aka peace sign for all you hippies

 

Still waving and will wave with the new one too!

 

I will return a wave, but not initiate one

 

On the way home from work today, there was a girl in a Red Cooper S convertible on the freeway with me. We passed each other many times for about 10 miles. I waved but she wasn't looking. She was directly in front of me when she turned left to exit the freeway, as she got on the off ramp she blinked her right turn signal once. That "wink" is as good as any wave in my books.

 

Always up for a Mini wave! It's just so fun and exciting seeing another Mini on the road. You can't help but feel happy.

 

No mini love for me in la. I've noticed people checking her out. But they are driving boring cars.

 

There are so many MINIs around Seattle I'd throw my arm out waving at all of them. I'll take more notice when I'm back in Eastern Washington state in Chelan or Walla Walla. Not many MINIs there.

 

The have proliferated like Mice. I still wave. Don't get many back but I don't care. When I bought my cars there were hardly any around. Like you say there everywhere now.

 

I will throw a peace sign, or flash beams

 

If the windows down, I wave out the window, if it's up I give the two fingers (peace sign) while holding the wheel or flash. I do like flashing cause then all the cars behind the mini slow down looking for the fuzz

Its sad how many people don't wave back :(

 

Yeah you might get a one finger wave on the 405.

 

It's 50/50 here in Denver, but I wave every time or flash the brights!!! Hopefully all my waving will rub off on the ones that don't wave :-)

 

Well, I, for one, will definitely be waving! It's all I can do not to wave at Minis now, and I'm driving a white ford Focus wagon, lol. I like the idea of the "peace sign", as I am a member of that generation. But I'll be saying hello, with a wave, a flash, a wink of the blinkers, or a tap on the horn, just as soon as I get inside that little Laser Blue....

 

Wave to every MINI that drives by. It can be discouraging when you get nothing in return but every so often youll run into somebody who thinks its the coolest thing ever that you just waved to them. There are also the people that will wave all the way across the highway to you.

 

I'll be waving .. wife is gonna make fun of me buts thats okay

 

I own a 1999 Jeep wrangler, been waving at other jeep wranglers since 1999... Its a jeep thing.

I've had the mini most of summer, nobody waves.
