I noticed a trend when it comes to waving. All the waves I've gotten have been males. Females most times don't even acknowledge you have a MINI. I know female MINI enthusiasts are definitely out there though, but haven't run into any yet. Also, I have yet to get a wave from a Clubman or Countryman.
I've noticed a strange trend with waves. Anyone else getting waves regularly from people on motorcycles? I've had more motorcyclists wave at me than MINI owners.

I haven't had this happen yet. Do you get the low motorcycle hand out "wave" or do they full out wave?
I got a nod from a vintage Beemer "R" sideback rider. To me, a nod is better than a wave on a bike. Keeping your hands on the grips while shifting through a turn in an intersection is wise.
Rare day two mini waves within 10 minutes of each other , of course my better half my wife was driving today . Flashing lights and a wave . My wife layed in on the horn a beep beep . Seeing more and more Coopers where I live in the bayou country of Louisiana .

I always wave. Oftentimes, I get waves. Once in awhile, I get weird looks. Occasionally, I get nothing. I chalk the nothings up to concentrating on the road. LOL
My wife and I were driving around a neighborhood yesterday looking at houses. She was driving her 2010 Sparkling Silver MCS and I had just installed checkered mirror caps so it's a bit more eye catching than before. On one street we got waved at by a little girl with a big grin on her face, and on another street we got waved at by a little boy that mouthed, "cool car!". We both waved back, of course!
I know they weren't MINI owners, but we're hoping in 10 years they will be. They seem to have good taste, after all.
On top of always waving, I usually try and park next to any I see in a parking lot. I pulled in between two the other day, it was like a mini Mini meet

I was driving by a school yesterday and a young boy was walking with his father. When I passed by he pointed at my car with a giant grin on his face.
