Most liked posts in thread: I just got flashed........

It might have been me..... I do it all the time....

Sometimes I get this strange look if it's a female wondering..... Do I know that crazy guy, flashing his lights and waving at me. Probably a stalker.... Look away, Look away.... what ever you do, don't wave at the crazy guy in the MINI.:crazy:

 

Speaking of ... has anyone with the Xenons found that people keep flashing you, thinking that you have your high-beams on? Maybe mine need to be re-aimed, but it's been happening to me quite often lately.

 

It might be worth checking the aim. They look a lot brighter when they're angled up.

Either that or you've got a bunch of stalkers who are trying to get your attention. Just look away and don't wave at the crazy people. =)

 

Have you noticed if your automatic level adjusters aren't adjusting?

 

They still adjust (do the down, up routine when I turn the car on), I just wonder if their final resting place is off kilter.

 

There was a lot more waving/flashing in the beginning. Then it went away as people started buying Minis for other reasons then owning a Mini. I have become a grizzled Mini owner and stopped being the initiator myself. But it still warms my heart when someone waves or flashes me. Even if they drive a Gen 2.

 

Yep when we first got the Mini other owners seemed to go out of their way to give a wave......now many of the new owners act offended when you wave to them.... But I still wave away!

 

Funny thing.... now that you mention it... all my flashers are wearing raincoats.

 

What's the part number for your four-way-flasher rain coats? I haven't seen those.

Are you wearing a raincoat when you do the flashing? :ihih:

 

Yeah......
Sometimes it's just me, the trench coat and those big floppy galoshes with the buckles undone.

 

That's a look the ladies all love.

 

I am right here. This thread stands as is.

 

Yeah......
Me too.

 

Sometimes I do use the buckles....

I can run faster.

 

MM, I know where your business is located...not the best area to be standing in a raincoat with boots on :eek6:

 

Trench coat, Trench coat...
Slightly more style....
Sets me apart from the competition.

Oh.... and I do prefer galoshes.

 

wearing a trench coat only works if you have a sun roof :devil:
