Bought my used mini S last Saturday, have passed about 10 or so other minis in the past week and NONE OF THEM waved. NONE. Bleh.

 

that is a shame

 

I hadnt seen another MINI in a while, but i saw one BRG and got a wave

 

It took me 2-3 months to get a wave. I lost hope after the second week. BUUUT, I promise you, it's totally worth it!

 

I may not always wave but I always smile at other drivers. Some don't notice some do and usually smile back. I do on occassion wave and usually have them returned. I got a wave just yesterday.

My fav. though was in the first week I had the IMP some one winked at me with a flash of their blinkers and waved. That brought a huge smile to my face and made me glad to be in this club.

 

I wave at all the MINIs I see (just like my plate says), but my windows are dark, so I realize not everyone can see me wave.

Yesterday I got a headlight flash from a sailor or Marine in a lovely IB with white bonnet stripes. There is something extra cool about people in uniforms or suits & ties driving their MINIs to/from work. Clearly they aren't too "professional" to have fun!

 

Yes, but they don't seem to understand while I am in the Dodge Magnum Rental Car. My wife doesn't understand either, but because of the motorcycling background, it just comes naturally.

 

I may get some slack for this but having had both the coupe and the cabrio.

I noticed other cabrio drivers will go out of there way to wave at a fellow cabrio driver.

I wave at every MINI I see.


My partner has a Jeep Wrangler, those people a wave junkies, i think its a law that Wranglers have to wave at each other.

 

I saw two MINIs today and got waves from both. Woo Hoo!
My friend told me I was a goober, but I got her back (see thread "bad, baad girl." )

Ever since I've had a convertible, yes, even waaay back when, I would wave to every other convertible driver and biker, cause there is a camraderie about loving your hair go all wild.

 

I wave and most around philly flash their lights
I do get a lot of road side non mini folks waving too. They are still in coveting mode
I wonder about the folks who don't wave but they are oyt there...uhm
k2

 

Almost every Porsche driver (and old British sports car drivers) waved when I drove my Intermeccanica-Porsche 356 replica.
Other Miata drivers...50/50 with my monster V8 Miata.
My 2006 MCS....after four months....nobody!

 

Unfortunately in Los Angeles there is sooooo many Miini's that many of them don't wave back. It is pretty sad.

 

I swear, I am one of 3 Mini's in my wee small Mayberry-esque town and we almost run off the road when we spot eachother!

There's one Silver, one Turqoise (forgive me for not knowing the name of the color) and my Black Eye Purple.

We will have to form a Mini MINI Club

 

NO! I don't. That may be due to the fact I don't have my Mini yet. I will have it Sat Aug 19th. Once I get my Mini I shall wave with a fury not seen by mortal man in quite some time. Whilst obeying all traffic laws

 

The first day I drove my Mini home, I passed another and they waved...I about drove off the road not knowing how to act. Now, I wave at any and all Mini's on the road and they wave back. I even have some speed up to me just to say hi! Isn't is great???

 

I wave like a freakin' idiot! If you see me you'll know it's me. I wave like I mean it!

 

I got to wave twice in one morning commute to work this week. It's a joy. It's tougher on the freeway since the overtaker sees you and the overtaken usually doesn't notice. I can't help it. It's one of the unexpected bonuses of owning a Mini.

I'll have to modify this for the MTTS or I'll never get to shift gears.

 

a simple flash of the lights =]

 

I wave at all MINIs no matter what I am in Its fun when im on my motorcycle and i wave

i get strange looks...there really should be a class when MINIs are bought haha

 

That would be Electric Blue. Silk Green is a light green. Both are discontinued. Laser Blue is coming, and is somewhat similar to Electric Blue, but darker. Oxygen Blue (yet to be seen) hypothetically/theoretically may be something of a teal (according to subtle hints on Motoringfile.)

I wave.....period. More and more MINIs are showing up on local roads every day it seems, and waving, which seemed to take a dip for awhile, is still very much alive. I think new owners know it is a "thing"....I assume that if they don't wave they either don't see me or are preoccupied. I choose to never assume they are being snobs which, as we all know, is simply not a MINI thing.

 

 

Haha, I also just got my first wave from a non MINI owner

 

I just got my first unwave from a mini owner (she didn't wave at me.)

:(

 

Even if I'm in my husband's suv, I point out and wave to every Mini that I spot!! My husband is always embarrassed when I do MY MINI THING!!

 

I'm still waving!
It helps to have distance and a good sight line.
I have my hand above the steering wheel most of the time.
I try to make eye contact.

Somewhere the idea of using the keys came up. I did that last weekend working at the antique auto show, I sold parking tickets. When I saw 2 MINIs come in, I showed them the key and they recognized it! Big laughs.
