I still embarrass my Husband when I 'WAVE', Flash My Lights...he wants to hide all the time, but hey it's the MINI thing to do!! If I get a nice wave and a Smile back I know I've made some one's day and they've made mine!!

I notice and wave to most of the Minis I see around here. I even get comments from people I work with that say they waved at me the last time they saw me driving the Mini and I didn't wave back. When I ask them if they were driving a Mini and if not then thats probably why I didn't notice them.
When I drive the mini pickup I usually get the finger pointing (as in look at that and what the H.E.L.L is that sort of thing) and neck breaking trying to see more of it.

I don't get waves very often at all. I'm thinking it's to do with how much more common Mini's are on the road.

Has anyone done a poll to see roughly how many Mini's they pass in a typical day? I've been keeping a mental note for about a week and I'm averaging 10 per day during my commute (here in Vancouver, BC).

Mini on...
