When you signed the dotted line to own your new MINI, you should of been trained on how to do this. Since you were not, or you forgot how, see the following attachments for instructions

 

LOL I flashed at a BRG vert this morning but no response back.

 

I always get so excited when I see another Mini drive by! It isn't that hard to acknowledge another driver with a hello or light flash lol. -.-

 

I imagine it's not always easy to see either, not like on a motorcycle.

 

Part of owning the MINI is the emotions that come out when driving or even just seeing one. So Wave Dam it!!!

 

Lately I have actually had other MINI drivers look at me with a look on their face of 'why is he waving to me?' I know that MINI has gone beyond the enthusiast crowd to a I want a cute econobox group but I am sad at the demise of the sense of community.

 

In on this.

 

Same here but I still flash and wave like a mad man

 

We wave. The kids wave.

Not many even acknowledge us. Not gonna stop us from doing it, though!

 

Went to the post office today...saw a MINI so I parked next to it. Came out, another had parked next to me with the driver fiddling inside. So I honked, waved and drove off. I certainly got a wave and a smile back, well worth it! Waving isn't dead...we just need to educate those who forgot or didn't learn.

Might I also point out that a lot more MINI owners are now purchasing their first MINI as a used vehicle and may not be purchasing from a MINI dealership? Possible that this may influence the waving situation.

 

Lets keep it going. Wave everyone.

 

Went by a nice chili red with white bonnet stripes. My wave was unanswered but I will not be deterred !!

 

It was during afternoon rush hour and it was behind me. So I didn't try to wave. Red MCS /W + stripes.

I will try to wave when possible.

 

I love waving but it seems like the Chicago MINI drivers don't share the passion. Suburban and country drivers still wave though! I'll just keep waving.

 

Ok so I have been trying this on for size... Haha and since I have no Mini yet, I haven't gotten a very good response! The last people in the little red Mini I waved at looked at me like I had two heads! Apparently Mini waves from the fire engine aren't a common thing

 

This post has detailed instructions and pictures on how to do this. Wave people

 

I WAVE, FLASH, and HONK!! Whenever I see another MINI I tell Molly..."there's a Little MINI Molly!!" IF it was SunRoof Season I'd be waving like a Mad Women out that too!!

 

Have you had your WAVE today?

 

It seems like every other car here in the bay area is a Mini. People just look at you like you are an idiot if you wave at them.

 

I don't understand how someone driving a mini cannot feel the joy and want to pass it on. The car is so freakin' fun to drive! I am on the lookout for other Mini's all the time just so I can wave and let them know that I understand how happy they are zipping around in such an awesome ride. And then.....they just drive past with not so much as a glance..... So sad to think they feel like they are driving just a car. I feel sorry for the Mini's who are not appreciated. :-(.

 

I feel the same way. My family always looks out for them. We get the warm and fuzzies.

 

I got honked at today by a fellow awesome MINI passing me. I definitely appreciated it and hope they saw my return wave! Was the first motorer who initiated the wave/whatever first. I think I'm going to honk more often especially when I'm going the same direction!

 

Keep the wave going!!!!!

 

I've had a Countryman drive up next to me, honk several times and wave before. It was pretty cool. As soon as I waved back he sped off, grinning from ear to ear. It also made me smile.

I often try to get other MINI owners' attention, but it's hard to get them to wave back. Here they're what we like to call a 'hipster' car, as our dealership got put up right in the heart of it. They don't seem to understand. A few owners wave, but that number is far slimmer than the ones who just glare or outright ignore you.

So, I have to say it because it's painfully... well, painful:
"I had a MINI before it was cool to have a MINI."
At least I wave though :*(

 

I'm on my second MINI and still get giddy when I see another one. I wave and flash every time.
