I wave, but nobody else does

Hello all,

I just joined the family in March. Got my hands on "Beyonce", my 2008 MINI Clubman S. She's fully-loaded and sexy as hell, just like Beyonce. I always wave to other MINI's when I'm out driving. Nobody else waves, but I'm trying to start a grassroots waving campaign here in Pittsburgh

I had one question if the welcoming committee wouldn't mind answering -- is Lucas Oil Stop Leak safe to use?

The wave has diminished since I purchased in '07, but just keep doing it. I've found I get return waves from some of the regulars I pass. They have even begun to initiate them! Keep it up.


Lucas Oil Stop Leak - No experience with it. But... If you have a leak in a MINI, find out where it is coming from and fix it. Low oil and MINIs don't mix, especially an "S".

Back in Nebraska, everybody waved. Now here in Columbia, SC. I get few waves. Maybe because there's a lot more of them here and more of a novelty in Lincoln...Just keep waving...

I wave but it's not like the old days when you would see yourself coming once or twice a month.

It all depends upon where you live.

In parts of SoCal you can easily spot 20+ MINIs on your commute to work. It's not uncommon to see 2 or 3 at the same intersection.

With that many MINIs around the novelty is just not there.

Roadsters however are still rare, and while not quite a wave there is often an appreciative smile and a nod.
