I wave every chance I get. My daughters are really embarrassed by it 😎
Last weekend I was driving down town with my brg f57s top down and coincidentally met up with 10 other minis commng the. Other way... Met three more a couple a minutes later at the traffic circle in the middle of town... All of us waved at each other.
The north eastern part of Massachusetts seems to have a large increase in mini ownership recently. To bad all of the dealers are mid to South mass...

I wave to all the MINIs and rarely do I get a return except when we go to the MOT rally in the summer.
What confounds us the amount of waves we get from young people (we're old) in VW Golfs and slammed Hondas and Fox Mustangs. I wonder if it is because our JCW has lots of body mods and is lowered and rolls on oversize rubber.
Don't get me wrong- - we love the attention and wish the snobs in their stock MINIs would acknowledge our initial waves.

I still wave, not too many people wave back anymore. In 2005 when I had mine new. I got the wave almost every time.

Got a 3rd gen Justa and I try to wave whenever I can, even to big ol' Countrymen. I had my first MINI convoy on the I10 last week. I creep up on a blue 1st gen MCS "ALOHA", waved and followed along behind him for a few miles. Then came along a 3rd gen MCS and it got between us and we formed a little 3 car convoy for the next 10-15 miles. That was fun.
