Ok i might be on my own here but its something that has to be said!

Over here in the UK (not sure if its the same for the US) but there is a bit of a tradition that when you pass another Mini on the road you either flash you light or beep your horn. Most people are continuing with this tradition and some get really excited flash (their lights of course! lol), beep, wave, blow kisses!! you get the idea!
But its really bugging me the missrable gits who dont do it!! If i can move my hand fast enough (i.e. im not changing gear at the time) then i always flahs or beep and wave!
We need to start a flashing and beeping revelation!!!!!!

I always try to do the same. But you're right, there are also some here in the US that just ignore me. I get about a 50% return rate. And I know they see me, there are less than 10 Mini's in the town that I live in, we're still unique here.
