What's wrong with Assael? I didn't buy my MINI there, but they are the closest to where I live - and I've received good service from their parts department.

 

I always wave/flash headlights/honk/acknowledge...........Now here's the rub:

I live in Nerwburyport,MA. and that's quite close to Minipeabody,so we have quite a few minis in town.The demographics of the owners(excluding myself!) seems to be loaded towards middle aged yuppie women who seem to be CLUELESS about the existence of other cars(let alone minis) on the road.Despite my every effort to wave etc. , all I get is the deer in the headlights / straight ahead stare and very few even know I'm there.
