Oh, does that go to say the person on the bridge waving one finger at me on the bridge didn't like MINI's???

I suggest a day in late spring or early summer, when people might have windows or tops down, making it easier to wave, and there might not be rain to interfere with seeing other's waving.

That makes sense.

I've seen more MINIs on the street in Summer and Fall than in Winter and early spring.

I've actually only gotten the waves from guys driving a mini. The other women I've passed have never waved back. You're missing out!

If we're going to make this happen, other that contact MINI USA, would local MINI/Mini clubs be interested?

I would have to agree with Gromit - in the winter months most of my motoring on week days is under the lights - hard to see another motorist, let alone whether or not they are waving back. Spring or early summer sound better to me! Of course, every day should be international wave like a fool day....
