I like when my MINI makes friends with other MINIs or when other MINIs make friends with mine.

But, I don't like if I park next to someone in a MINI and the owner is there and they don't even notice I have a MINI, it's pointless! Also, like when other MINI drivers don't wave.

I remember when I purchased GP #0220 in February of this year. After driving around my town for a couple of days, I would have other MINI Driver's pass me and Wave. I'd wave back and say to myself, "I have no clue who you are but I'll wave anyways". After getting waved at by the 3rd or 4th time, it dawned on me......MINI Owners must be like Motorcyclists (I ride a Motorcycle, too). Motorcyclists will Wave at each other also. I guess that just goes to show that MINI owners are a "tight" group.

I have waved at some MINI Driver's though, and many have not waved back, but then again, the town I drive through is mostly "Old" rich snobby people...I swear that many of the MINI Driver's who have seen my MINI GP, have NO clue what a GP MINI is. I think they believe it is just something I did to a MINI. My age (23) doesn't help either, since most people think that "young" people like big wheels and spoilers on there cars LOL.
