My FIRST wave!

I've had my MINI for a few weeks and I've passed quite a few MINIs with NO WAVE!

Today I passed a guy in a Roadster or Cab who did a good toned down wave. I, on the other hand, was grinning ear-to-ear and waving like a fool.

SAVE THE WAVE

Good for you! Keep it up. Back in Nebraska, I got waves all the time. Now in South Carolina, I don't get very many. maybe 1 in 20 and there's lots of them down here. Mostly non-s's for some reason.

Wave on!

If I see a mini... I wave. Sometimes it is a little late, but I do. It makes for a weird scenario when I am driving in a car other then my mini....

Been there done that too! I wonder what they think getting a wave from an old guy in a 2000 Rav4 with 230,000 miles?

I've wanted to wave while in my other car, but I didn't know if that was going to be weird or not. I do like to yell "MINI!" when I see another one no matter which car I'm driving. My husband finds that amusing most of the time.

Car rides often go like this "I'm thinking we should get salmon <MINI!> tonight for dinner."

I was going to a baseball game a couple weeks ago and saw someone test driving a MINI. Lucky for me I was in mine and was waving at these poor people like a crazy person. Hope they bought it.
