I use to do the wave a lot but often got no wave back so I went to waving if someone waved to me. I spend a lot of time in the south bay so I'll be sure to bring out the wave if I see any of ya

 

I wave, but 99% of the time I've had other Mini owners not even notice my car or the wave.

 

i commute from SJ up to SF almost everyday of the week and i see alot of mini's. i usually drive up and make sure the driver is looking back then i wave. i have a 07 astro black MCa w/ white top.
* wave *

 

I'll be looking for ya, do you take 85 or 101?
I'm in a R53 CR/CR with a big A&E Performance sticker on the back window

 

cool. i usually take 280 to 380 then over to 101. there significantly less traffic on 280 in the mornings. Also ill be in europe untill end of july, so you probably wont see me. hahaha but once i get back ill make sure to look out for you. =)

are you in the cupertino/saratoga/campbell area? i saw a CR/CR the other day. but i was in my friends car.

well anyways. everyone should keep on wavin!! ( it will make the other cars jealous of us )

 

I'm in Redwood City every now and then visiting my sister. I'll keep an eye out for you.

 

waving is over rated.

Seriously, I gave up on waving a few years ago in the N. Cal area. Only MINIs that wave now are new owners.

 

As long as 3 years is considered new!

 

I wave!

 

The non-wavers must outweigh the wavers by a lot then, if everyone that is responding waves.

If anyone sees me PW/B/Checkers with JCW rims don't be afraid to wave!

 

I've only gotten 2 waves.. SJ/Cupertino area.

Michal, I'm on 85/101 or 280 every day also.

 

good luck with the waves. I try to wave, but it seems like I'm the only idiot around here flapping my hand.

 

Maybe we need a spottings thread?

 

That sounds like the wife to me. She waves at any MINI she sees, even ones 7 lanes away on the other side of the freeway. I wave (a little hesitantly maybe) if the other MINI seems to acknowledge my existance. A lot of the ones around here just stare straight ahead.I take Moffet every moring, just from Northbound 85 to Southbound 85 though (as Easy St doesn't have a Southbound ramp).

I was going to ask which yours was, but I see you've given a discription later on. I'll look out for a checkered PW. I'll probably be driving Shawn for a while.

 

I am a waver ...but ony drive on the street every now and then.
I am going to change that and am looking at another MINI to daily drive

Also look at www.norcalminis.com and www.maverickminis.com

If you ever want to come join us a a SCCA SFR Auto-X please do so and say HI. OK to join up and drive or see whats happening.

 

I'm on 237 going east every workday at 7:30am. I still wave, but most don't wave back now. In 2002-2003, the year I bought my Mini, every other Mini waved back, I sumize that we who bought Minis the first two or three model years were Mini enthusiast. Remember, back then the SUV was king and small cars were an afterthought. Since gas prices are over $4.00/gal. it's now "practical" and trendy to drive a small economical car.
