How cool is that. I got my first wave by a very cute looking chick with great smile while driving over the Vincent Thomas Bridge today.
So this urban legend Mini wave does exist.
Oh yeah, she was driving her ivory Mini Coop.

 

I got my first a few days ago. Haven't had one back since

Maybe gas prices are making drivers depressed....

 

I get waves all the time!!! I live in Tucson and i am a college student at the U of A. Most people ask me what i have done to it and then smile saying i never thought those little cars could be that fast!

 

They wave in Nashville, if they are not talking on the cell phone.

 

So Mini drivers do wave! Good to hear, I will be leaving my Jeep behind and I was wondering if the Mini community waved like Jeep owners do. Sounds like it will be an easy transition!!!

 

The wave is a wonderful thing!

 

I will wave and shoot you a "Bear down!"

 

Whoooottt - Yayyyyy for waves!!!

I've had my MCS for a whole week and no waves yet. =(

Then again, i guess i haven't really been in waving-distance...

 

I counted 14 MINIs today on the road in single lane oncoming traffic with return waves or light flashes from only 3. It's just not like it used to be in the early days.

 

Well, we just need to fix that b/c i didn't have Zoe in the "early days" ... i have her now!

 

I'll keep that in mind when I move to rockville in 3 weeks!

 

What's a "bear down?"

 

Will do! I live and work in Rockville - which makes for easy commutes but dont spend a lot of time on the roads (except on 28!)

 

"bear down" is the name of the gym on campus at the U of A. its like our motto i guess. I never really understood the expression

 

yea i live in one of the most unfriendly places you can think of and if i dont get a wave i get a friendly honk and then a wave. its kind of nice i think. i know i always try to say hi to other mini owners but alot of them here in Miami look at me like im totally insane.....guess their MA didnt tell them the rules.

 

I wave enthusiastically at every Mini; 3 out 4 times I get a return wave, and for the 4th unwaver I tell myself they just didn't see me.

 

This past Sunday, I was on I-94 in Michigan travelling west towards Chicago when another MINI passed me on the left....She gave a huge, very energetic "peace" sign and I waved back...I was thrilled!

MINI drivers are so cool!

 

I'm in Miami. Waving since 2003

People just don't get it. I've been falshing and waving at a CR MINI on Old Cutler Road every morning for months and nothing yet. I'll break them down sooon cause I'm not giving up.

 

haha keep at it! eventually the wil get sick of us and wave back lol or just get the point. i wonder if no one else waves at them? im sorry if you see three minis (lets say) a day and they are all waving at you something in your head should tell you "hey maybe i should be waving back"

 

Heh I got a wave when I was test driving a MINI last weekend. I was so suprised I almost forgot to wave back

I drive a subaru currently so I'm not used to it, getting a MINI soon though

 

One week and two days -- still no waves.

 

I got my first wave yesterday. And it was from another lightning blue mini.

 

I've had mine since early January--no waves. but i've gotten several confused looks, a few dirty looks, and 2 people flashed me the "bird"

I know some people say that the wave no longer exists since the "MINI is so mainstream now"

but the jeep wrangler people still wave? and they've been on the market forever?

Oh well- i'll keep trying

 

I thought only the people in my area had a problem. I've had my Mini since October 2007(I'm a Motor-tober Mini owner); I have not had a single wave. Worst than that, I have waved at 5 fellow Mini owners around here and DIDN'T GET A WAVE BACK. Isn't that against Mini-etiquette or something. By the way, I did check the "Field Guide To Good Motoring" and there isn't anything in there about waving. I think they need to add it.
