...why MINI drivers in Bergen County refuse to be friendly? I swear I'm the only person who makes any attempt to wave. Do they think I'm flipping them off?

I just want to feel loved!

 

not obsessed like us,or you look scary just kidding . probably bought there's for the gas mileage, they'll come around.

 

Well I certainly hope I don't look scary! I didn't realize that big sunglasses and blonde hair were so threatening

 

thank you ! made me laugh post some pic's

 

their probably intimidated and see them selfs in the sunglasses and get scared. i get waved at all the time and im usualy riping it in first gear when i notice their waving and dnt get the chance to wave back : P i actualy chased an r52 the other day to his house because i noticed he had a bad as exhaust (no homo) and ended up getting the kids number (kinda homo but not realy) and hopefully we will get to get something together like a mini take over NJ kinda deal. Everyone that lives in Jersey has to go once its nice out.

 

For pics of me just visit this thread...

...but if you're looking for some of my car, see the link in my signature.

Oh sure, just throw me into that category even though I'm not your average blonde... I'm fun AND smart.

 

Just get your self down to middle Georgia and I'll wave to you every day and
I guarantee you'll feel loved!!!

 

How rude of me. Welcome to NAM from Middle Georgia Minis!! Glad to have you here.

 

Here in Fredonia, NY there have been a lot of MINIs being purchased. And most of the drivers do not understand in the least that MINI is not just a car. They let their cars stay dirty, they don't wave then look like zombies... I am very frustrated by this.

 

Almost all the Mini's I see or pass in Burlington NJ wave or flash thier lights. There are a couple that look at you like you are crazy but most are happy to wave or flash.

 

Yeah, the whole "wave" thing is ongoing issue. Everyone used to wave, but the cars are getting more appealing to non-enthusiasts. It kinda sucks. I always wave still, though. Occasionally, I get a wave back.

 

I also suspect that many drivers are "off in their own little world" when they're out driving and may not even see you, because as far as I'm concerned, there's absolutely no reason not to return a wave from a hot blonde - I don't care if you're driving a MINI or a loaded garbage truck.

 

Flashing MINI drivers?!? Now THERE is an idea!

9 out of 10 MINI drivers wave back when I wave. About 5 out of 10 wave before I do. And there are more and more MINIs here on the Gulf Coast.

I both love and hate that...lol.

 

Hey, wasn't Frdonia a country in Marx brothers movies?

 

Hi I think we have to come up with a MINI wave so people will know that you
are a member of NAM what do you think.
lots o' luck SLIM Mc.

 

I live in Fredonia, I think in the movies it was Freedonia. So same idea at least.

 

Now that this tread starts it's slow spiral off topic!
I kind of like "Fredonia"
It has a certain something to it.

Oh and yes I wave at other MINIs. It's a law, or it should be. At least in the country of "Fredonia" it is.

(oh this winter needs to come to an end )

 

Topic has definitely gone off topic but breathing life back to the NJ forums

Luv waving and getting waves

 

Funny since I am not even from NJ but I am In NY at least...

I was thinking about printing up some flyers of card like things with a greeting and a link for our areas club. I would also put a MINI code of ethics as a joke but would maybe inform others that may not have been introduced to the fact that you should wave at fellow MINIs when out driving.

I would then leave them on the windows of MINIs when I see them.

 

That's too funny!
I need to keep a sign in my car that says something like "Stop being a jerk, you're driving a MINI." I don't think I'd win many friends that way though...

 

Hi I am part of a small club called - minis on the edge.org in New Jersey and they put cookies in the shape of a mini on the minis they see and flyers to members so we can tag minis to let them know about the club and it is great fun. So when you are in New Jersey you could get -- waved-- tagged -- or even get a cookie hope to see you soon.
Lots o' luck SLIM Mc.

 

I TOTALLY need a MINI cookie. That would absolutely make my day. That's such a great idea!

Come find me in Montvale during the week!!

come get a cookie in Rutherford -- did you know that Rutherford
is a dry town (no bars) what a place for an Irish man to live.
lots o' luck SLIM Mc.

 

I'm in pearl river (PW/B) so I'm sure we've crossed paths. I will make sure to wave next time, but I stopped initiating waves to fellow mini drivers after having so few people wave back. I find the mini's with a little bit of personalization usually wave back, or wave first.

 

I find the same to be true. The only people who wave at me without fail are other PW drivers. Its that common color bond I guess.

Well... them and guys.
Come on ladies, no reason to be stuck up
