Secret Handshake?

Here's our new family member.



I'm Brad, from Tuscaloosa. My folks brought this baby home on Saturday... She's an '05 with only 6,200 miles - hardly used. We've been zooming about quite a bit, but besides our neighbor's yellow '05, have yet to see another Cooper on the road.

It's sort of become a game, now, looking for a fellow Mini. I was wondering, last night, if there are any little secret handshakes or lamp flashes that you guys have when you happen across another Mini? I figured that if I saw another Coop, I'd just flick the lower running lamps on/off if it were night time, and wave if it were daylight.

We love the car so much, we find ourselves going out of our way and taking the long way home.

Yes, but we can't tell you.

Brad, Welcome to NAM & the Alabama Motoring Society.

I just wave when I pass fellow MINI-ites some flash though (their lights that is)

If you are free, come down to Chelsea a week from Sunday & join us for a cancer benefit drive. It's looking like we are going to have a nice turnout of MINIS & some other Little British Cars too. For info on that ride click here & here
