After skimming the local threads here I can say I'm guilty of not waving often if even to other Mini owners. It might be due to the fact I see 'em (millions it seems at times...From Connecticut, Boston to the northern tip of Maine.) all over the place or the sheer yearly high milage I drive all over New England in a work van or the Mini. Anyway, I've had My R50 for a couple of years now and I'm just starting to fall in love with it all over again.
